Amazing wine experience The Melillo family couldn't have been more welcoming. It was lovely to see a small, authentic family run winery and farm. They were knowledgeable and happy to show us the whole process. The wines were delicious! Highly recommended!

Tasting at Tenuta Mara Great and smooth experience, from the booking to the experience itself. The booking is easy and I received the confirmation the day after with all the info, thanks WineTourism! The winery is truly amazing, one of the best ever seen. If you are searching for a cultural visit, that's the place for you : a lot of insights about the Biodynamic processes and a lot of art and beauty. The wine was outstanding that I had to buy it.

Nuzza Silvano - Just Got Lucky My wife visited Italy in early April. We departed Venice and arrived a little early to check into our rental in Canale, so we drove around a little taking in the lovely views. We saw this sign for Nuzza Silvano Cantine and decided to see if we could get a tour and a wine tasting unannounced. As we drove into the parking lot, the owner Silvano greeted us and invited us in. Marco was our host who provided us a wonderful tour and some great wines to taste. Just a wonderful place with awesome views. Silvano, thanks so much for…

Excellent Visit to this Vineyard We had difficulty in finding the final location & Rosa was very helpful as she came out in her car to get us. We found the experience that afternoon to be excellent as Rosa & her husband were wonderful hosts and would highly recommend this tour.

Best wine experience Our host was an absolute wealth of knowledge and all of his wines were arguably the best we’ve tried in Italy. His winery was casual and welcoming like visiting a friends home and he was so generous with his wine and snacks and we purchased a few cases to be shipped home. It might seem out of the way for some people but it should be a priority

AWESOME!!! The Statti Vineyard tour was super. We had to adjust the time of our tour, and the staff went above and beyond with hospitality to accommodate us. The gentleman, I believe his name was Albert, that did our tasting was very knowledgeable, fun, & was easy to chat with and provided us with 3 white wines to taste plus a rose and some of the Olive oil and beauty products produces from the vineyards oil. All were terrific. We really enjoyed the 2 hour visit. Sheri Dyer

Quintessential Limited Production, Family Winery Tommaso is one of the younger generation of the Cimarelli winery, and he conducted our tour and tasting. The home and winery overlooks about 4 hectares of the total 10 upon which they grow their grapes (Verdicchio on the slope by the winery and Verdicchio and Montepulciano on the slopes in a nearby district). The rolling hills and grapevines could have come right out of a movie. Tommaso was utterly charming and extremely patient with our virtual lack of Italian. We tried 5 wines each wonderful articulations of the grape, one of which--the riserva--was just stunningly complex. We would up…
