Outstanding way to experience Barolo and Barbaresco - We thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Riste and visiting Barolo and Barbaresco. The wines were delicious, and the winemakers were passionate and informative. Riste’s friendliness, expertise, and local connections made the experience memorable and special. We highly recommend taking a tour with Riste!

Incredible Wine Tastings - Piedmont Region with Riste - We had an absolutely incredible time on our wine tour, and it was all thanks to our amazing guide, Riste. From the moment we met, he was warm, knowledgeable, and completely passionate about wine—and it made all the difference. We provided an outline of what we wanted to see and taste including lunches for our two days in Piedmont. Riste took it from there. He created a perfect itinerary, taking us to select wineries that were exactly what we were looking for. Each stop offered something unique, and his relationships with the winemakers gave us access to experiences we never would’ve had on our own. He leveraged his relationships to arrange lunch at two different wineries over our two days. He couldn't have done a better job. Both meals were outstanding! What really stood out was Riste's deep knowledge—not just about the wines themselves, but about the history, the region, and the winemaking process. He did an excellent job pacing our travel between wineries. Our conversations during the travel time allowed us time to discuss the wines and absorb the unbelievable views. He even had a select location for us to take an unbelievable photo. Our two day tour concluded with his support for shipping the wines we chose back to the states. If you're looking for a wine tour that's both enriching and incredibly enjoyable, I can’t recommend Riste highly enough. It was a highlight of our trip, and we’ll definitely be back for another tour in the future!
