Katrin was very knowledgeable and proud of her vineyard. It was lovely walking through the streets of the village of Prosecco and learning the history of the area. The food was delicious. I found the Prosecco delightful.

This was a brilliant experience. Katrin is a personable and very knowledgeable host who knows the history of the area intimately. The wines we tasted were her own, made in her “micro micro micro” winery, and tasted along with local produce in the vineyard. Add in the stunning views and this ended up being the highlight of our holiday.

Katrin was a wealth of information and passionate about what she does. She met us at the meeting point and took us on a scenic walk through the village on the way to her winery. She shared the history of the area as we walked and we really enjoyed the stories about her grandparents. The view from the winery is remarkable. She shared 4 of the wines that she produces and served up a delicious collection of locally made fresh breads, cheeses, meats and fruit. After wine tasting and eating we went to the wine cellar where she allowed those who bought wine to cork their own bottles. What an amazing way to spend time in this area!

What a fantastic evening! Katrin was such a wonderful tour guide/host. She has a great personality; a balance of having a lot of knowledge and passion with what she does but not pretentious or over the top. I very much enjoyed learning about the history of both the grapes and country borders as we walked around some lovely streets with some beautiful views. I loved how we spent the evening altogether on one table; as the wine was flowing and the local foods were brought out (both very generous servings!) we got to know others in our group which was absolutely lovely. We also got lucky mixing with such a great group of people so that really made the trip worthwhile. I would absolutely recommend this trip (and already have!) to anyone visiting the area. I thought it was really good value for money and it’s something I’ll remember forever.

Great experience! Host was very knowledgable and provided a great amount of food and local wines. She provides a great location in the hills of Trieste/Prosecco region

This was an amazing experience. Katrin is so lovely and tells you everything you need to know about the area, history and the wine. The tour was so scenic and the location of the tasting was unbelievably beautiful. The wine and food was fantastic. Could not recommend enough.

Our host and owner was absolutely delightful. She was kind, knowledgeable, and fun. Our taxi driver had a difficult time finding the meeting point but after a call to the host we made it. A walking tour through the town to thw winery was enjoyable and provided a chance to see an area not filled with tourist. The winery is small but in a pretty setting. The wine and food were good, and we enjoyed the company of the other individuals on our tour, some from a different area of Italy. I recommend this tour if you like wine or if you want to do something a little off the beaten path.

Amazing experience! Small walk with history lesson of Prosecco and near villages, then you are entering amazing small vinery of Owner with tasting of her own vines! Food is also included! I really recomend to visit and support small vineyards, owner's story is amazing and there will be lots of things coming besides tours!

A nice insight into micro wine making and the quaint village of Cobtovello, outside of Trieste. Lovely view and good explanations of the history. One thing that could add to the experience would be a walk through the vineyard itself to learn about cultivation. Thanks
