Best experience we’ve had on holiday! - We haven’t stopped talking about it! It was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had on holiday. A family-run business with heart at its core, everything about this place felt warm and welcoming. The team was incredibly friendly, the setting was stunning, and the food paired with the wine tasting was simply unforgettable, everything you’d hope for (and more) in Italy. We loved the wine so much that we had a few bottles shipped home for my dad’s 60th birthday, and they were enjoyed and appreciated just as much as when we first tasted them there. This was an experience filled with authenticity, passion, and unforgettable moments! Thank you

Awesome wine - Exceptional experience. Claudia made everything run smoothly. We had booked another activity that overlapped slightly with the wine tasting. Claudia made sure we got a chance to sample everything. Very accommodating.

Relaxed and authentic - Lovely experience! Idyllic location with a beautiful vista. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere- a very authentic setting and experience… Rachael and Claudia were superb hosts. The wine , cheese and salami were all very good. The highlight was the mostarda cherries! To top all this off we met 4 very cute Italian Truffle Hound puppies, and Albertino the family dog 🐾.. we would all recommend this tour.

Winery with Excellent wines and stunnig views - We did a one-day cycling tour in the Valpolicella wine region, visiting several wonderful wineries, but Tenuta truly stood out. The garden offered incredible views over the wine valley. We also enjoyed an excellent lunch at the estate, lovingly prepared by the friendly owners. Most importantly, the wines we tasted were of truly high quality. The customer service we received, both before and during our visit, was exceptionally warm and welcoming. And to top off the experience — the adorable Lagotto puppies were an absolute delight

Awesome!! - Claudia was super knowledgable and friendly. 3 gorgeous wines were tried along with plenty of bread, local olive oil & meats + cheese. Beautiful view and great tour. Be aware the shuttle will be €100 shared between people so if you’re the only people on it can be more expensive (you’ll be informed beforehand). A taxi is expensive & public transport is quite lengthy!

Must Do:) - The winery is really quite magically beautiful! The view and the view are unique and the owners very warm. No door remains locked and questions are also addressed. In addition, you really also get the time to enjoy your glass of wine there and is not handled Zack Zack. Now when we drink their wine, this beautiful experience stays in our head, We can highly recommend it and thank you!:) until September!

No wine tasting - boring experience - The view nice, nice walking tour. After that it ended, no commitment to us as guests. We sat at tables for wine tasting, the wines poured into the same glass. No joint tasting, after wines were served the staff stayed away. I had to say that Ripasso should also be included in the test. Received cheese and meat tray. Expensive wines in the shop, overpriced.
