Really nice, family friendly tour, including a talk about how the process worked. Great nibbles and generous selection of delicious wines to try after the tour of the cellars. Was the right balance of detail and interesting! Would recommend

Annalaura and Maria were amazing. We learned about the history of the winery and how each wine was hand crafted. Wine was delicious and the snacks were perfectly paired.

Lovely staff, wine and nibbles!

Jeffrey_H, Jun 2025

Our host was amazing. Because it was the national holiday, Tili Winery had a very busy morning. We so appreciated them staying open longer just to provide us an overview of their entire winemaking process from vine to bottle, and then various tastings accompanied by great cheeses, spreads and bread.

Bellissimo!

A beautiful winery and tasting! Anna Laura and her family have great pride in their products - great tasting and delicious wine. S food pairings.

Sophia_C, Mar 2025

My friends and I had a delightful afternoon at the Tili winery! Our host was incredibly knowledgeable about the craft and was able to give our group—who had next to no background in wine tasting or curation—an in depth walk through of a few different types of wines, the way to taste them to get the best taste and smell. The food dishes brought out were delicious and paired wonderfully with each of the wines. After the tasting, we went to the winery itself and toured the facilities and gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of all the ins and outs of crafting and bottling organic wines. Overall we had a great time, and not only would we do this tasting again if we head back to Assisi, but I would highly recommend this tasting to anyone asking where to go for a local tasting. Everything was amazing!!

A wine tasting must!

Lindsay_I, Sep 2024

The family host was so welcoming. The property is breathtaking. The wine was very good. Completely different than what we expected. The food pairing was delicious as well. We would recommend this experience with 5 stars :)

Amazing Wine Tour!

w8bhch64kw, Aug 2024

This wine tour was wonderful!! Our guide, Annalaura, gave us a very detailed and informative tour of the winery and their process. The food and wine tasting was incredible!! They provided us with delicious bruschettas and wines! From beginning to end, this tour was amazing and we would highly recommend it!!

Great tour and tasting

Dina_D, Jul 2024

When we arrived, we were greeted by Julia who took us on a tour of the winery which is down the road about 1 km. She explained everything ti us and answered any questions that we had. We found it interesting. Then we went back for the tasting. Julia brought us snacks and wine, explaining everything about the types of grapes and what pairs best with each wine. It was so relaxing and pleasant and we had great views. Julia was friendly and knowledgeable and clearly understood the passion that the family had for winemaking.

Excellence x2

Tim_p, Jun 2024

We went to TILI winery last week with family. We enjoyed the wine so much, I ordered quite a bit to be sent home. Then a second set of family visited and so we went to TILI a second time. The wine, the snacks, the view, the experience is awesome.

Party of 4 -Amazing Experience!

Kinsey_l, May 2024

A last minute decision for our party of 4 and ended up being one of our favorite experiences. The tasting was informative, we loved meeting the family and learning about their reason for producing organic wine. Very welcoming and hospitable. Beautiful venue and views. Highly recommend. We got a taxi from town, and they called us a taxi upon our departure time. Easy process and great experience and great wine.

Great wine tasting!!

Brandi_K, May 2024

Really enjoyed the 7 different wines and balsamic!! Beautiful location and fun experience! Annalaura was a wonderful hostess. Highly recommend!!

Efrain_M, Apr 2024

Julia did an excellent explanation of the process. Maria made amazing bruschetta and the wine was delicious. I never tasted these wine with the orange and light rose color. If you don’t have a car, be aware that taxi will cost you about 50 euros

Disappointing

Eddieras, Oct 2023

This is the hardest review I have written. Our host was so nice and informative, but the entire tasting was very unprofessional. When we pulled in the driveway, 3 dogs started barking and coming towards the car. I do not have a dog and honestly, i am afraid of them. One of the 3 was what looked to be a German Shepard. So not knowing the dogs, we stayed in the car till a woman (the host) greeted us. The dogs were there throughout the tasting. Trying to get food off our table, one jumping on my lap, being very disruptive, i would think to ANYONE trying to enjoy a wine tasting, let alone someone like me who never had a dog and is afraid of them. The food served with the wine was good, but the entire experience was lacking unfortunately. Again - our host was knowledgeable and friendly, but a bit more professionalism in putting the dogs in the house perhaps, would have went a long way.

Lovely organic wines

Frank_V, May 2023

Had a great time. Very interesting to learn about organic wine making- no chemicals added at any stage. The explanation was clear and the personnel were very friendly and attentive. We were treated to six varieties of lovely wines in a pleasant environment. Recommended

It was such a great experience! We learned so much about wines and had fun talking with Maria. And we tasted so many great wines!

Great wine!

Shawna_G, Aug 2021

We had a great time. Great food and wine and friendly ladies doing our tasting! I will definitely be recommending this to my friends!

A slice of Italian heaven!

Ginny_C, Jul 2021

We thoroughly enjoyed the wine, the food, the scenery, and the lively hospitality of Annalaura and her mother. Highly recommend!

awesome atmosphere and very friendly host

Noemi_S, Jul 2021

it was a wonderful experience to see the beautiful winery in Tili Vini and taste different and unique wine! (was soo good, we had to buy some too!!) The food we got was selfmade and from the own fields also very delicious. Annalaura was a very good and friendly host, we felt very welcome and got a lot of information. Overall it was a awesome atmosphere, we really enjoyed our stay in the winery and would recommend it to everyone!

Just okay.

Dana M, Jul 2019

It was not very organized. Expected to learn more. There were only a few people. Basically felt like info-commerical and given order sheet. Also the cab ride was costly. Pros: nice family, beautiful vineyards and country side.

Rick J, Jan 2018

An amazing experience, Maria was absolutely delightful and gracious. Tried a number of organic wines, each better than the previous one. Also, she gave us a tour of the entire process, from the vineyards, the pressing process, fermentation, bottling, labeling, etc. And the food she served was absolutely fantastic the bruschetta and arugula/barley salad were my favorites! They also produce olive oil and balsamic vinegar the real stuff, not that fake American stuff, both of which I highly recommend. We brought a wine shipper with us hoping to bring some quality wines back to the states, and we filled it up almost exclusively with wines from here had to bring back a couple from Orvieto, too! If you are anywhere near Assisi, and enjoy wine and good company, you must visit this place! When I am in Italy again, this will be at the top of my list. I appreciate their passion for organic products without the use of pesticides and chemicals. You can tell they are passionate and extremely knowledgeable when speaking about the winemaking process, from the proper irrigation techniques, to temperatures, and the like. This tour exceeded my expecations. Thank you Maria for a wonderful time!

What a wonderful day full of laughs...

What a wonderful day full of laughs! It was lovely being inside a true Italian's home and being part of the conversations. The wine tasting was great and extensive and the food was delicious too!

The family was very friendly, and the wine tasting came with delicious food! My family and I loved the wine, so much so that we bought enough wine to last us through the year haha!

Lawrence_H, May 2017

Oh, my, do you want to meet an energetic lady who knows her wine, you have come to the right place! We were the only folks who had signed up for this tour, so Annalaura gave us a private tour! Annalauras family has owned this winery/vineyard for several generations. Her father is presently the person who oversees the business. Annalaura and her brother have been working in the winery/vineyard since they were little children and know it forwards, backwards and sideways. Annalaura, along with her monster dog, who is absolutely loveable, took us by a couple of the vineyards. They grow several grape varietals there on their hillside vineyard. She then escorts us into the area that the grapes are separated out and placed into tanks for fermentation. The wine is tested on a regular basis to determine the future steps in the process. Some of the wine is stored in steel cylinders, some in ceramic cylinders and others in oaken barrels. She goes into detail with each stage of the process. They even do their own bottling on site. They dont want to lose control as to how an outside bottler might leave a bit of residue from a previous bottling job that could contaminate, change the texture of the wine, or possibly make it lose its organic designation. Annalaura is very thorough in her explanations. Her English is quite good, I might add. She and her family do travel the world to compare and learn more how other organic wineries operate and do some tastings. We were then taken to their wine tasting room. It has an enormous ceramic table with an attached lazy-Susan that seats probably 16 people. The table is gorgeous. Meanwhile, a lovely young lady didnt catch her name, brought out a number of cheeses, dried meats, bread and olive oil so that we could sample a number of their wines. We had a white, rose, about 5 reds and a dessert wine. A lot of explanation went with each bottle. We also had samples of some olive oil, honey and her mothers homemade preserves! Meanwhile, Annalauras parents came into the room. The father asked a few questions and left shortly thereafter to tend to business. Annalauras mother stayed with us. She was very congenial, asked us a lot of questions. Annalaura had recently told us about a couple of wines that she herself wanted crafted along with her mother wanting another couple of wines crafted as well. They were all excellent. We had lived in Oregon for 15 years and a couple of years ago had relocated to New Orleans. Annalaura and her parents had recently been to Oregon, so they could relate to where we had lived as well as having had the experience of tasting Willamette Valley wines. Overall the experience was wonderful. We ordered a case that included both the wines that Annalaura and her mother requested be made as well as a several others that we thought would go well with our cooking back home. Simply put, this experience was well worth the price of the excursion. You will have the opportunity to learn about wine making, taste excellent wines and make lifetime friends in the process. Thank you, Annalaura. By the way our case of wine arrived yesterday. We expect to see you in New Orleans the next time you come to the United States!
