Ostuni Organic Wine Tasting: Valle d'Itria Winery Tour

Taste organic wines made from recovered ancient varieties, not the mass-produced bottles elsewhere

A two-hour winery experience in Valle d'Itria near Ostuni where you taste three organic wines paired with local products, guided by the winery's oenologists through the recovery of forgotten grape varieties and sustainable wine processing. The winery is one of the few driving the relaunch of the Ostuni DOC. A live guide leads in English or Italian. Minimum age is 18.

The experience

The winery sits in the countryside between Ostuni and Cisternino, in a place built around environmental sustainability and innovation rather than volume. You start with three wine glasses paired with a chopping board of local products. Everything comes from nearby farms. Then the oenologists walk you through how the winery recovers ancient grape varieties that had nearly disappeared, and the methods they use to process and store the wines in ways that respect the land.

The experience runs two hours and is built for adults. You'll see a state-of-the-art facility designed with the environment in mind, and taste the result of that approach in the glass. Bottled water is included. The guide speaks English or Italian.

What’s included

• Three glasses of organic wine.
• chopping board of local products from nearby farms.

• guided tour of the winery led by the oenologist team in English or Italian.

Is this one for you?This experience suits adult wine drinkers who want to understand how a winery actually works (the recovery of lost varieties, the processing choices, the sustainability decisions) rather than a quick tasting at a tourist stop. The two-hour format gives the oenologists time to walk you through each step instead of rushing through a list of bottles.
