Highlights
  • Tenuta Padre Pio Vieste - Welcome on my experience. I am Cinzia, and I would be honored to welcome you to the Tenuta Padre Pio, to tell you how my wines are born, but above all to show you, some of the wine tasting techniques, fundamental to learning to appreciate a wine. These incredible culinary and sensorial stories will be told outdoors, where you are completely immersed in the centuries-old olive trees. Afterwards, you will taste our own extra virgin olive oil, and three different types of wine (white, rosé and red), which will be combined with delicious typical local products (cold cuts, cheeses and bruschette garganiche). Later, we will take a walk at sunset in my vineyard located in Foresta Umbra, Unesco World Heritage, a magical place, which will allow you to complete your training making you touch the native vines of the territory.
    I guarantee you, that after this sensory experience, you will know the basics of how to taste a wine, but above all you will always remember this land with a smile.

Excellent Wine Tasting - Cinzia, our gracious host, provided excellent explanations as we enjoyed three wines paired with delightful dishes, all of which were delicious! We left extremely satisfied, having learned a great deal, and thoroughly enjoyed Cinzia's captivating storytelling about the wines. Overall, a highly recommendable experience!

Great experience! - We had a very pleasant experience, the location is lovely, the wines are quite good and the food as well did not disappoint at all. The highlight is the kindness and passion for wine of the lady that explained about the wines!

Best Wine Tour I’ve Been On - From start to finish the wine tour was amazing! Cinzia is an amazing host and a very hard worker. The wine and food were delicious (we bought all three bottles) and the olive oil they make is amazing! (we bought that too). Every wine we tested had a story that was shared with the group, Cinzia made us feel welcomed by taking the time to retell every story in English who che was greatly appreciated. Cinzia picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off after the tour was done, she was very welcoming and I have zero complaints about her and the villa she runs. This wine tour was a nice touch to our beach vacation, we had time to go to the beach during the day and ended our night at the winery. The winery itself is very beautiful, clean and I would love to go back if I ever have the chance.

Magical location for wine & food tasting! - We had a wonderful time at this wine tasting and food pairing which was just a short and lovely drive from our seaside lodging in Vieste. Seating and tables were setup in a shaded garden area and Cinzia presented the wines and food in both Italian and English. She shared endearing stories about her family and Grandfather and her desire to care for the vineyards he had. It was a delightful and relaxed evening. Be sure and checkout the beautiful artwork on the wine labels - and the personal story on the back of the bottles. This is a must do/see if you are in Vieste!

Great setting! - Just wow! This winery is amazing. The setting is great. We tasted three wines under olives trees and with good apetizer from octopus to mussels and local cheeses. The owner was very nice and her explanations very interresting. We had our 11 year old with us and she had fun listening and tasting the food. The short visit of the vineyard afterwards was just enough.

Great experience! - The tasting was in a nice garden at the restaurant. Cinzia clearly has her heart in the business and it makes the experience even better. The wine were great and the dishes also. We also had their own olive oil to taste. I totally recommend, this is a very low effort, interesting, and reasonable price activity for your stay in Vieste. Only problem was that there was no pick-up service on that day.

Fantastic host, just slightly bigger portions please! - We really enjoyed our wine tasting with Cinzia. She was hugely knowledgeable and engaging as she took us through the history of the vineyard and served us our wine and food accompaniments. Fortunately for us, she spoke excellent English, which she interspersed with Italian for the majority of the guests, and we always felt included as she made sure to include just as much information in English as she did in Italian. The wines were delicious, although my partner noted that perhaps the glasses were slightly on the small side for the money paid. Closer to a 125-175ml rather than the 250ml glass you might expect for the experience. If this would be uneconomical, perhaps a top-up of of your favourite glass would be a reasonable alternative. As a comparison, we’ve done whiskey tastings in Scotland where the whole experience (5 whiskey tastings + nibbles) was closer to £15-20. Equally, the food pairings were slightly on the small side, only a little bigger than a mouthful. Appreciate that these are only to accentuate the wines but as this takes place over dinner time, perhaps more bread and slightly larger portions might have felt more like a light dinner rather than canapés. Overall, the tour is very much worth doing and Cinzia is a fantastic host. We just hope that the team are able to refine the experience to ensure guests feel like they get value for money.
