Fantastic experience just outside of Bologna! Great to sit in a beautiful small winery and speak to the winegrowers. Fabio was very knowledgeable and super friendly. We even picked up a whole host of bottles to bring home. Awesome views. Lovely wine. Great fun with the family.

We truly enjoyed our visit at this smaller wine producer in Zola Predosa, about a 30 minute drive from Bologna center, and recommend it to travelers in Bologna interested in local wine producers. The group size was suitable, around 12 people, which made for nice encounters with other people. The tour involved walking through the vineyards and production facilities, with Fabio, our friendly host, explaining their selection of grapes and production methods. The house, located on a hill appropriately named Bella Vista, had a stunning view. The wine tasting itself was very nicely organized, and we got to sample several of their products with specifics on each wine and food pairing suggestions. The wines were very good, each with a different character. The grapes were varied, with Pignoletto being the specialty of the region. There was no pressure or ”requirement” to purcase any wines (we did, though), and we were able to enjoy the entire evening at the lovely terrace watching the sun set. Very highly recommended for anyone wishing to get to know local family-owned wine producers and learn more about their products. We enjoyed the home-made appeal and sincerity, so dont expect a bulk tourist experience.

We found Fabio to be incredibly friendly. We were 5/10 minutes late and when we called him he was more than understanding. The walk around the vineyards was really good and Fabio spoke a lot about the 24 hectares, the local grapes used, and the traditional methods they up-keep. We then walked around the winery and it was amazing to see how much equipment is needed to produce and store the wine. Finally the wine tasting was very special and we sat out on the terrace with an amazing view. Fabio was incredibly generous with the wine and also brought out some bread, cold meets, and cheese. A well worthy experience!

Perfect, Fabio was very fun but still a wonderful guide. Got four generous glasses of wine to taste, bread sticks and some charcuterie as snacks. Even got a extra wine to taste since we didn't get the whole tour because weather. Everything was awesome. Even offered to drive me and my friends since we were going to the town and eat, he even called taxis to the others. It was just the best goddess tour I've been to, will definitely come back of I'm in the area again.

Booked a tour/tasting via email, and quickly got everything confirmed. Had a wonderful time getting a tour of the vineyards guided by the wine grower, Fabio. This was followed by a tasting (but actually full glasses of) four of the wines made there. The wines were superb! If you're in or around Bologna, make your way here. We took public transit to and from; it's about a 20 minute walk from the bus or train. Worth it.

Best wine tour I’ve been on. Fabio is a great host and we stayed for hours chatting and drinking the quality wines.

Amazing experience from start to end! Fabio was a fantastic and extremely knowledgable host. The wines were incredible and the story behind the artwork, label designs and winery was great. We visited as a group of friends and loved the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our tour ended up being a private one! All for £25 each! Alongside the wines we were given a selection of gorgeous local nibbles and couldn’t believe all we got for such a reasonable price! Do not hesitate to book this trip! It was one of the highlights of our Bologna visit.

Loved the wine tour and the tasting. The area is so beautiful and Fabio was an amazing host. We ended up staying on the grounds for a couple hours more to drink some more wine and chat, we felt so welcome.

Meilleure idée de mon voyage, une visite intéressante au tarif abordable et surtout un hôte exceptionnel de gentillesse qui n’hésite pas à vous mettre bien Également l’occasion de rencontrer d’autres personnes pour discuter autour d’un bon vin et de charcuteries locales et pourquoi pas aller au restau ensemble ensuite !

ROMANO B

I vini Manaresi sorprendono sempre ogni volta che li bevi ne apprezzi il costante miglioramento grazie alle attente cure di Donatella . Il Rosato da Barbera è sublime. Un plauso particolare a Fabio sempre presente sui social e apprezzatissimo nei tour fra le vigne. Complimenti ragazzi continuate cosi. Romano e Cristina
