Tasting Of 4 Negroamaro Wines

Tasting of 4 Negroamaro Wines, rated 5 across 79 traveller reviews.

Overview

An hour in the countryside outside Lecce, spent at a family-run boutique cellar in Guagnano, is what this tasting experience offers. Feudi Di Guagnano runs it on land where Negroamaro has long been the local grape, and the session pairs a walk through the vineyards with a guided tasting of four wines: red, white, and rosé styles drawn from native varieties. The visit starts at the cellar on Via Cellino and returns there at the end.

The experience is set up as a private booking, so only your own group takes part. Guides walk you through how the grapes are grown and how the wines are made. Reviews describe hosts who are passionate about their family's wines and generous with their knowledge, and one traveller recalled tasting the Negroamaro grapes straight from the vine.

This suits anyone curious about Puglian wine who wants a short, relaxed stop rather than a full-day excursion. The listing states that transfers to and from the vineyards are not provided, and public transportation runs near the meeting point. One reviewer mentioned a sausage and cheese platter that paired well with the wines, though the listing confirms only the alcoholic beverages themselves are included.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get the most from this visit, from getting there to what the hour actually feels like.

• Getting there. The meeting point is Via Cellino 3 in Guagnano, outside Lecce, with dedicated parking available on site. The listing notes the meeting point is near public transportation, and states that transfers to and from the vineyards are not provided.
• Pace and terrain. The whole experience lasts an hour, so the walking portion is short rather than strenuous. The listing notes that surfaces are wheelchair accessible and the tour is pushchair accessible too.
• Group feel. This is a private activity, so only your group participates. One reviewer described the experience as exclusive and intimate, and reviews consistently praise the hosts' warmth and knowledge.
• Food and drink. Four wines are poured, and the listing includes alcoholic beverages only. One reviewer had a sausage and cheese platter that worked well with the pours, so do not expect food to be part of the booked price.
• Buying bottles. One traveller reported leaving with bottles enjoyed during the tasting, at prices that reviewer called fair. Bring space in the car in case you want to do the same.
• Weather. Part of the visit takes place among the vines, and the listing states the experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, a different date or a full refund is offered.

Common issues. The main limit is transport: transfers are not provided to or from the vineyards, and the meeting point sits outside Lecce in Guagnano, though the listing notes it is near public transportation and has dedicated parking. The experience also depends on good weather, since the vineyard walk is part of it, and cancellation for poor conditions triggers a new date or a refund rather than the original slot. On the plus side for access, the listing lists wheelchair-accessible surfaces, pushchair access, infant seats, and allowance for service animals.
