Description

Discover Primitivo Red Wine Tour and Manduria Wine Tasting

 

Embark on an unforgettable Primitivo red wine tour in the heart of Manduria, the homeland of one of Italy’s most iconic wines. Choose between a traditional farmer's lunch or a guided tasting experience — both designed to immerse you in the authentic flavors, aromas, and traditions of southern Italy. Warm hospitality, premium wines, and local delicacies will accompany you on this unique Manduria wine tasting journey through the Salento countryside.

 

From the vineyard to the barrel cellar

 

Your Primitivo red wine tour begins with a welcome aperitif featuring local white wines “Sosó” Fiano and Bianco D’Alessano IGP Salento, paired with homemade friselline bread topped with fresh tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil. Continue with a guided visit of the winery and barrel cellar, where you’ll taste Primitivo tapped directly from the barrique before comparing it with the bottled version — a true Manduria wine tasting experience that reveals the wine’s evolving character.

 

A journey into authentic flavors

 

Enhance your tasting with traditional pecorino cheese and finish with a glass of Primitivo di Manduria DOCG Dolce Naturale, the crown jewel of the region’s wine production. For a more immersive Primitivo red wine tour, opt for the experience that includes a traditional farmer's lunch in an 18th-century semi-hypogeum oil mill, where you’ll savor homemade dishes and almond-based desserts.

 

Between wine, history, and tradition

 

This Manduria wine tasting is more than a simple visit — it’s a journey into centuries-old winemaking culture and local heritage. Discover the soul of Manduria through its legendary Primitivo wines and fall in love with a land that celebrates its passion for wine, food, and tradition.
