Abruzzo wine tasting & winery visit
Overview
I'm a native of Teramo, one of the most important wine areas in Abruzzo. I'm a wine & food lover and I'm increasing my culture and knowledge attending a 3y Sommelier course at the Italian Sommelier Federation (FIS). On all the FIS events, I'm able to invite my guest to join exclusive tastings, as well as having personal connections with most of the wineries in Abruzzo, allowing me to have a better treatment for our guests.
As well as being an official Tour Leader recognised by the Abruzzo Region, I found Experience BellaVita, a company that promotes sustainable tourism experiences in the less touristic areas of Italy, in Abruzzo. I and my colleague & friend Alberto, we run together the experiences that I designed over the years. He has my same qualifications and the same passion for Abruzzo and our wines.

Marino was really knowledgeable, super friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a nice time. We can't recommend him highly enough.

What To Expect
This is a slow-paced experience, great for families, those who know little, but also for wine connoisseurs that want to discover wines from Abruzzo.
Based on your location, I'll pick a winery on the hills of Teramo and we will meet at the vineyard and start the slow visit to the winery taking the time to discover the secrets of each winemaker and their philosophy. One visit will last at least 3 hours.
We will meet the owners who will show us their winery, vineyards, cellar and will share the history of the family over the past centuries.
After an introduction about the history of the winery, we will visit the technical installations, ending with an explanation about the ageing process.
Guided by the owners and advised by their expertise, we will then start the wine tasting including 4 different local grapes.
I will also guide you through the steps of a proper tasting.
The tastings are always accompanied by fresh bread & organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
