Wine Tasting and Winery Tour in the Hills of Marche Italy

About this tour

Spend two hours in the Marche hills learning how a working winery blends old methods with modern practices. You'll taste three regional wines—a crisp white, a fuller white, and a structured red—each paired with proper local foods: fried olives, cured meats, cheese and bread baked in-house. The winemaker walks you through their vineyard philosophy and what makes each bottle distinct. It's a proper tasting, not a rushed sip-and-shop.

Highlights

• Taste Passerina, Offida Pecorino, and Rosso Piceno with producer commentary
• Try fritti ascolani, house cured meats, artisan cheeses
• See winery production methods firsthand
• Learn how Marche terroir shapes each wine's character
• Shared group format with fellow wine enthusiasts
• Homemade bread and traditional local pairings

What to expect

You'll arrive at a hillside winery and move through the cellar with a guide who knows the vineyard's history. Expect to see fermentation tanks, barrel storage, and bottling areas—nothing polished, just the working parts. Then you'll sit down for the tasting itself. Three wines arrive with plates of food already laid out: salty fritti ascolani cut the white wine's acidity, cured meat's richness complements the reds, cheese bridges them all. The guide explains what you're tasting—tannin structure, oak influence, harvest timing—without pretension. Two hours moves quickly.
