“Great tour of Assisi. Good tech which worked first time, was a mix of reading and listening. Good level of depth but not too much! All the key areas covered. Enjoyed the flexibility (and price!). Map was super helpful.” - Reviewed on 2025-01-06

The experience is not just about tasting; it’s about understanding the nuances of wine, the terroir, and the passion that goes into every bottle.

“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. Everything was amazing!!” - Reviewed on 2025-03-09
