An Eye-Opening Journey Through Puglia’s Wine Culture – A Must-Do! - If you are considering a wine tour in Puglia, do not think twice—book this one with Stefano! He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly passionate about the region. The tour was so much more than just drinking wine; it was a complete education.
We started in the vineyards where Stefano explained the different grape varieties and vines native to Puglia. From there, we visited three distinct wineries, each offering a unique perspective:
The Local Experience: Our first stop was a charming local spot where we saw residents refilling their own wine jugs—a true "local vibe." We even learned about the history of wine distribution and saw the old cellars.
The Production Process: The second winery was fascinating! We saw the actual production line, which was a first for me. I was shocked to see wine being transported in trucks that look exactly like oil tankers! We ended this stop with a fantastic lunch of local favorites and more wine.
The Personal Touch: Our final stop included meeting one of the owners and tasting even more amazing selections.
Stefano was amazing, attentive, and made the whole day seamless. It is well worth the cost for the amount you learn and experience!

Excellent descriptions of different type of wine and grapes. One of the best wine tours we have been on. Highly recommend even if you know a good deal about wine.

Excellent Guide - Stefawine is an excellent tour guide. I have taken at least 10 wine tours in the past in various regions and countries, and Stefawine is perhaps the best of all of the guides I have had. He chose an interesting variety of wineries to visit from small to large, and his passion for the subject shines through in his very informative discussion. Highly recommend.

Wines of Salento - Extremely educational and informative. Stefano was a truly wonderful guide. We tasted many delicious wines and lunch was delightful. We experienced the vineyards, a co-op wine making, and the traditional why making.
