Stefano’s wine tour was exceptional. I’ve been on wine tours throughout France, Italy and Spain, and what distinguishes the best guides from others is passion and expertise. It’s not a glorified driver, someone who drops you off from winery to winery and has the winery do their own spiel. Stefano is everything you’d want from a guide: A wine professional (He has a PhD in biochemistry), a wine enthusiast (He tastes every wine with you to give you his own tasting notes), a wine expert (He shares all the history and context of wines), and, most uniquely, a wine INSIDER. Every place we went, he walked me around freely, showing off every part of the process at a small winery, large winery, and co-op winery in villages you wouldn’t know to visit if you didn’t have a guide.

I was the only one on the tour this day, as 2 others cancelled last minute, but Stefano still ran the tour. Other guides, or large companies, would not do this. I am so thankful for his hospitality as well: He prepared appetizer bites including an incredible mozzarella local to his neighborhood.

He even has a wine shop in town, where he invited me after to do more tasting with other visitors.

Don’t hesitate to work with Stefano if you’re serious about wine and learning more about what makes Salento wines unique.

Had a great time with Stefano (and the other tour guests) - fun, relaxed & informative tour, with plenty of wines to taste and enjoy. I definitely recommend dropping Stefano an email and arranging a tour if you're in the Lecce area.

We really had a great time with Stefano!
The whole time was super relaxed and we learned so much about wine production in the Salento region.
We visited 3 Cantine from the industrial to the artisinal and were treated to some really nice wine and food.
We are not really that educated about wine but nonetheless the whole experience was accessible for us with classic puglian hospitality.
Here are some photos of our tour

Deelgenomen aan het pasta maken en de wijnproeverij. Leuk team met enthousiaste mensen. Pasta maken is erg leuk om te doen en er wordt goed uitleg gegeven over alle stappen die je moet nemen om een goede pasta te krijgen. Locatie is midden in Lecce en is lekker huiselijk. Wel wat krap voor een groep maar was niet storend.

Wijnproeverij was niet bijzonder qua wijnen of de hapjes. Dit kun je beter ergens op locatie doen bij een wijnboer als je de mogelijkheid hebt. Dat geeft meer belevenis.

Prijs is net voor de circa 3 uur dat je bezig wordt gehouden.

Tijdens onze huwelijksreis in Puglia een wijnproeverij gedaan bij Stefano die ervoor gezorgd heeft dat we de rest van de vakantie alleen nog maar lokale Rosato hebben gedronken. Stefano vertelt met veel passie en kennis! Aanrader!

Not much is being said here about this tour, but I strongly suggest that anyone spending a day in Lecce should go and make this trip. Stefano is a perfect guide, very passionate about Salento region and with a big knowledge of wine.
