About this tour
Venture beneath the Itria Valley at Tenute Girolamo, where a two-hour exploration reveals how Puglian wine develops from barrel to glass. Descend 18 metres into the estate's subterranean cellar—a hushed cathedral of oak where vintages mature in silence—then return topside for a brunch pairing local produce with carefully chosen wines. This isn't a rushed tasting; it's a genuine encounter with how geography, patience, and craft shape what ends up in your glass.

What to expect
After arrival, you'll be guided through the working vineyard before descending into the cool, quiet barrel cellar where temperature and humidity remain constant year-round. Your guide will explain the maturation process and point out different vintages at various stages. Back at ground level, settle in for brunch paired with wines from the estate—expect cheese, cured meats, fresh vegetables, and breads sourced locally. The pace is unhurried; staff encourage questions and lingering over glasses. Allow time to walk the grounds if you wish.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for cellar stairs. The underground space stays around 13°C—bring a light layer. Book ahead, especially weekends. Prams and strollers are welcome; service animals permitted. All facilities are wheelchair accessible.
