We visited here with a couple we met at our resort Pam and Steve. Our tour included another lovely young couple from Russia. Assunta husbands family have owned and run these vineyards for over 40 years . She speaks excellent English and is a warm and informative hostess. After walking through the organic olive orchard and vineyards we were treated to a lovely tasting of 2 red wines, one white, one rose and one desert wine.... all were excellent But what really impressed me was the lovely food pairing offered with this tour A whole focaccia bread split between two people, large chunk of parmigiana cheese, bread and oil and spices salami accompanied by individual plates of ricotta, mozzarella, cured ham and caprese salad.... and then biscotti to finish by dipping into the desert wine... all for 20 euro per person Did I mention the olive oil tasting with extra virgin olive oil... I finally know what a quality oil should taste like... you can actually taste it and it’s not greasy Products to purchase were not so reasonable I only purchased the medium olive oil for 12 euro but felt that was a little pricey to buy direct from manufacturer I believe their wines started at 15 or 20 euro per bottle with the reserve costing 35 euro Overall awesome hostess and best tasting ever…

Booked this the day before we visited via email for my family of 4. Communication was prompt and pleasant. We were warmly welcomed to the vineyard by Assunta who, along with her husband and three sons, runs the family business. Assunta showed us around their organic vineyard and olive farm and talked about the types of grapes they grow and how they produce the wine. We were then given the opportunity to taste the wines accompanied by some delicious cheeses, meats and bread. The setting is beautiful and Assunta was a delightful host. We were the only group on the tour and had a thoroughly enjoyable relaxed couple of hours. We were even introduced to Jack and Mr President, the friendliest family dogs you could ever wish to meet! Thoroughly recommend a visit here.…

This was an exceptional treat and wonderful visit. Combined this with a day trip to Paestum Greek site and Vannulo mozzarella farm, guided by Franco at Antares91. Excellent. The wine is fabulous especially the Reserva. The olive oil is extra extra virgin. And the food pairings are also delicious. …

Took this tour with my family on a nice evening with Assunta as the host. She and her husband own the winery which has been in family hands for many years. We also met her two sons who also work the winery. This was such an enjoyable tour with a couple of dogs and a cat following us around the vineyard. The winery produces red and white wines and we were given a tour of the process from harvest to bottling. The tour ends with a tasting of the wines the vineyard produces accompanied by some delightful snacks from the region. We were also given a lesson in olive oil tasting which was very interesting. Assunta was such a gracious host she left us with such a memorable experience we surely will never forget. Thank you so very much! Oh... one more thing. The wine is terrific.…

Even though we were nine people and had not booked a visit we were warmly welcomed by the family. An amazing visit filled with exciting information about wine production, amazing wine, amazing food and last but not least a warm and lovely guide. We also got to try their own olive oil which was interesting and a real taste experience. Many thanks to the Queen of the yard for an amazing stay! Highly recommended!…
