Private Molise Wine Tour from Campobasso: Sommelier-Led Tastings

Molise produces wines most travelers have never heard of, and that's the point.

A private wine tour in Molise departing from Campobasso pairs visits to two wineries (Cantine D'Uva, a family operation, and Agricola Vinica, an organic producer of 40,000 bottles) with guided tastings led by an English-speaking sommelier. You taste wines across nine different labels, choose which ones appeal to you, and spend lunch at the first winery's agriturismo. The tour runs eight hours and includes private transportation, water and all fees.

Step-by-step itinerary

Wine tastings and vineyard visits

• Visit Cantine D'Uva vineyard and cellar
• Guided wine tasting (4 glasses) at agriturismo
• Visit Agricola Vinica vineyard and cellar
• Guided wine tasting (3 glasses) of organic wines

The experience

The tour starts with a drive from Campobasso into Molise's wine country and arrives at Cantine D'Uva, a family winery run by Angelo and Enrica. You visit the vineyard and cellar, then sit down for lunch at their agriturismo where you taste four glasses of wine chosen from their selection. The sommelier guides you through what you're drinking (the production, the grapes, what sets each one apart), so you're not just tasting but learning why these wines matter in a region most people pass over for Tuscany.

The second stop is Agricola Vinica, an organic winery producing 40,000 bottles a year. Here you walk through the vineyard and cellar again, this time tasting from nine different labels: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Nero, Merlot, and Tintilia, the famous local red wine that defines Molise. You choose which wines you want to taste, the sommelier doesn't dictate the order, so the tasting follows your curiosity instead of a fixed script. The remaining time in the eight-hour day is spent traveling between the two sites and back to Campobasso.

The vehicle is air-conditioned and equipped with WiFi. Bottled water is provided throughout. The sommelier speaks English and Italian, so if you're traveling with someone who prefers Italian, both languages are covered. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available at lunch if you let the operator know when you book. Pickup is included from Campobasso.

Is this one for you?The sommelier speaks English fluently, so you follow the commentary and the tasting notes without translation or gaps. If you're traveling with an Italian speaker, both languages are available. Book this if you want the winery visits explained by someone who knows the wines rather than a driver who simply knows the route.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Italian.

What wines will I taste on this Molise tour?

You taste across nine different labels from the two wineries, including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Nero, Merlot and Tintilia, the region's signature red wine. At Cantine D'Uva you taste four glasses during lunch. At Agricola Vinica you taste three glasses per person and choose which wines you want to sample from their full range.

Is lunch included in the tour?

Lunch is served at Cantine D'Uva's agriturismo and is included in the tour price. Wine tastings during lunch are part of the experience. Other food and drinks beyond what is served are not included.

How long is the drive from Campobasso to the wineries?

The itinerary allocates the remaining time in the eight-hour tour to travel between Campobasso, the two wineries and back, so you spend the bulk of the day at the vineyard sites themselves rather than in the vehicle.

What is Tintilia wine?

Tintilia is the famous local red wine of Molise and one of the nine labels you taste on the tour. Agricola Vinica produces it as part of their organic wine range.

Do I need to arrange my own transportation to the winery?

No. Private transportation from Campobasso is included in the tour, and the air-conditioned vehicle picks you up and returns you at the end of the eight-hour day.
