Write a reviewMy boyfriend and I visited Saio Assisi after booking a tasting package on Smartbox. The lady explained the history of the cellar and the characteristics of the products with great passion and was always attentive and very friendly. Everything was delicious and so we decided to buy some products to bring a little piece of Assisi home. Afterwards we also took a walk in the estate's vineyard, which allowed us to enjoy the view and let our thoughts go. Highly recommended!

I booked a picnic at this winery. High-quality products are served. Friendly and attentive staff. Nestled in the Assisi countryside, with stunning views. Surrounded by peace and nature. Notes: The services are not very close to the picnic area (approx. 220 m);

We had a lovely experience at SAIO, opting for the wine tasting and sunset picnic. Agnese was a wonderful host. The wine was delicious and very reasonably priced, as too was the picnic. Being able to watch the sun bounce off the buildings of Assisi as it set was magical. A very unique experience that I’d highly recommend.
