Felipe was so informative and fun. Not only did we learn about regional wines he showed us around Bologna. He also set up a visit to a winery the next day that was fabulous

We had a great time on our wine tour. Our host was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He took us to several of his favorite wine restaurants and we got to taste some of his (and our) favorites! He explained how the process varied for different selections. We met some great people from Canada and overall it was a great experience! Highly recommend!

Brennan_S

Filippo was fantastic. He was great at explaining the process of wine making in the region and about Bologna in general. We were able to try 4 different wines from the region at two different locations. Would recommend to anyone who is traveling to Bologna.

UNIQUE wine selection and BEST wine experience in Italy! Filippo is truely a pleasant, flexible and competent wine tour guide. We definetly recommend Filippo and will absolutely book him again! During the summer 2023, my boyfriend surprised me with a wine tasting in Bologna with Filippo. We were lucky to be alone with Filippo that day. It was the best wine experience of our entire vitsit to Italy. Filippo did not only guide us through the wines, but also through the city of Bologna with interesting stories, facts and curiosity. He is a calm and pleasant person to be around and was super flexible, and customised the wines to our spontanious wishes and likings. He has a great overview of unique, tasty, local wines and pulled a beautiful pignoletto as well as a lambrusco after my wishes which we ended buying and bringing home with us. Thank you, Filippo. We will definetly schedule another tasting with you for our next trip to Bologna.

Excellent afternoon with local wine expert, Filippo who is a trained sommelier and wine lover who took us to some authentic local wine bars and shared his knowledge and made all feel welcome. Would recommend, others on the tour were also good fun and friendly atmosphere throughout, great way to experience the city and enjoy local wines

Nice evening and our tour guide was pleasant and a gentile couple of hours tour It wasn’t as we expected and a subsequent walking tour of Bologna, which included food and wine we found was a better representation of local delicacies and wines rather than the specific tour Overall a nice tour but not one of the best

Helen_G

The tour guide was very nice and spoke English very well. There were Italian people on our tour as well, so the guide was able to converse with them as well. The wine we sampled was all locally produced, which was nice.

We had a great experience with Filippo! The wines were wonderful and we learned so much but most of all it was fun! Felt like hanging our with friends and learning together. We highly recommend!

Filippo was so knowledgable and friendly it really made it special. Great to discover some special local varieties of grapes at some lovely proper local bars and trattorias in quieter parts of the City. Wine that is much unappreciated from a lovely region delivered with a personal touch and good chats about football and other local things! Thank you again.
