  • 5Excellent Private wine tasting in Lecce

    The tasting was in an intimate, pretty courtyard behind an enoteca. The food and wine were excellent. Our host was very knowledgeable and fun. Great personality. We bought wine to bring home after our tastings. Highly recommend .

  • 5Perfect wine tasting

    Stefano was a charming and knowledgeable host! We sat under a beautiful lemon tree on a quiet patio and tried five different local wines. Very generous pours. Paired with local snacks.

  • 5Informative, fun, and delicious!

    Stefano was a wealth of information! We learned so much about Solento wines and the Apulia and Salento regions of Italy. He served several traditional local snacks, all of which were delicious. It was just the two of us since December is very low tourist season. So there was plenty of leftover wine and Stefano sent us back to our hotel with all of it! This was a very generous and informative experience. We loved every minute and highly recommend it!

  • 510/10! Must do in Lecce!

    We really enjoyed this evening with Stefano trying many great wines from the region! It takes place in a nice little courtyard surrounded by lovely lemon trees! It’s a perfect setting to relax and try really nice wines! Stefano was excellent in explaining each wine and also the surrounding region! It was just the two of us so we had plenty of wine to finish, which was just fabulous! Highly recommend this experience if you enjoy wine! One tip: I’d book this on an evening where you have little plans the next morning so you can enjoy the sleep in :)

  • 5A lovely wine day!

    What a fun day! We joined Stefano's wine experience tour of the vineyards surrounding Lecce. It was a full day and we enjoyed every minute of it. The tour included multiple stops, with each one being totally different from the previous one. Stefano provided an excellent overview of the wine-making tradition, the vineyards and varietals. It was a small group tour (no more than 5), which added to the experience. Our favorite stop was the coop, which was completely different from any winery we've ever visited. That's not to take away from the others, but we loved the "gas station" delivery method for the jugs . . . and the wines were tasty as well! This was a great way to see the countryside outside of Lecce and to experience the small vineyards in a very personal way. Stefano is the ultimate host and you will enjoy your time with him.

About Lecce

Lecce is a Baroque city in Italy's heel, built in honey-coloured limestone and carved with flowers, animals and saints on every façade.

Lecce's soft local limestone could be carved like wood, and the architects of the seventeenth century used it to cover churches and palaces in garlands, cherubs, animals and plants, a style called Leccese Baroque. The Basilica of Santa Croce has the richest façade, and the Piazza del Duomo is a closed square with a campanile. A Roman amphitheatre lies half uncovered in Piazza Sant'Oronzo, and the city is sometimes called the Florence of the South.

Top-ranked sights in Lecce: Lecce Basilica of Santa Croce (Basilica Di Santa Croce), Lecce Roman Amphitheatre (Anfiteatro Romano di Lecce), Porta Napoli.
