An excellent introduction to wines from the area. Tasted four different wines paired with four different snacks, the last one being more substantial. The owner gave lots of extra information about the flavours we should expect, wine production and when best to drink it. A perfect way to spend a few hours of a rainy day in Lecce.

Wine tasting in Piglia

MaryAnn_M, Jan 2026

Tasted 4 wines from the Puglia region. We were a group of about 15. English was our common language. We had pairings with cheese, bruschetta, and salami with tarrali, then a nice sweet bread for dessert with the last wine. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

A wet afternoon in Lecce.

Heather_P, Oct 2025

We had a great wine tasting today. There were only 4 of us, so very cosy. It rained and we drank wine ably led by Vincenzo. Recommend it.

The host might be late, service very slow. Wines weren’t the best, Puglia has some amazing wines but none were there for our tasting unfortunately

Good for Lecce central

Lovely introduction into local wines. Delicious local cheeses accompanied the wines! The host took some time to warm up to us.

Do it!

Joan_G, Mar 2025

Michele did a great job explaining the four wines we tasted. He was knowledgeable and friendly. The food with the wine was also very good. This was very informative and totally worth the time and money spent.

Learning about wine of the region

Mary_A, Mar 2025

A wonderful introduction to delicious wines of the region paired perfectly with local cheese and other tasty food. We met and enjoyed the company of fellow travelers. A worthwhile experience and a lovely evening.

Good but not too exciting.

Kim_G, Feb 2025

The wine was good but the food was nothing special. The company of the other lady in our small group made it a fun experience. Otherwise, meh…

Nice intro to Lecce wines

Heather_L, Nov 2024

Owner was very nice; not a group event / tour. Wines were very good. Appetizers included bruschetta, cheeses, biscotti, and sausage slices.

Fun and tasty experience.

Mary_O, Oct 2024

Loved the variety of both food and wine. Very fun atmosphere. The host was very forthcoming with information at a fast pace. Could provide a little less info and go slower we understood everything shared. Great location and generous portions.

Good wine - lack of inspiration!

Belinda_M, Oct 2024

We enjoyed the wine however felt the experience suffered from ‘end of tourist season’ lethargy, and the owner was often distracted.

Enjoyable few hours

Great wine, nibbles & company

Morag_M, Jul 2024

Great wine and delicious nibbles to accompany the wine. My gluten free intolerance was dealt with well and I didn’t miss out on a thing. The host was excellent and made the evening very interesting. I would highly recommend.

Great local wines

jeffery_o, Jun 2024

Knowledgeable sommelier. Excellent wines from puglia paired with several tapas plates. The owner explained the details of each wine in a comfortable setting.

Fun!

Reagan_L, Jun 2024

Our friend group had an absolute blast. You can’t beat 4 bottles of wine with snacks for this price! Our wine guy was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We have a great time! The area is great as well!

Best food and wine tasting in Lecce

What an amazing experience! We loved this food and wine tasting experience. I would recommend everyone to do this. The owner was so knowledgeable and passionate about the wines and food around Lecce. You try 4 wines with food tastings and everything was beautiful. We met a couple from the UK and Canada which made the experience alot of fun. We ended up staying for dinner and loved the whole night. Do it if you are in Lecce. So much fun!

Great wines. Great experience.
