Matera Wine Tasting with Food Pairing: 4 or 6 Wines

Sommelier-guided tasting reveals how Matera's whites and reds layer complexity on the palate.

An intimate wine tasting in Matera pairs regional varietals (choose between 4 or 6 wines) with food bites selected to complement each one, led by a sommelier in a city-center winery. The tasting runs about an hour and includes an optional olive oil tasting to deepen your sense of the region's flavors. Minimum age is 18. Public transport is nearby.

The experience

You arrive at a winery tucked into Matera's historic streets and spend an hour swirling, sniffing and tasting under a sommelier's guidance. The wines move from crisp whites to robust reds, each one paired with a bite (cheese, cured meat, bread) chosen to bring out what makes that particular wine distinctive. The sommelier walks you through what you're tasting: the aroma, the body, the finish. It's not a lecture. It's a conversation about flavor.

The optional olive oil tasting adds another layer if you want it. You'll taste oils from the region side by side, noticing how one carries pepper or grass notes while another is buttery or grassy. It's the same attention to detail as the wines, applied to something you might otherwise pour without thinking. The whole thing unfolds in the energy of the city center, with Matera's streets just outside the door.
