Wine Tour & Tasting at Tenute Girolamo in Itria Valley

Eighteen meters down into silence where wine rests in the dark.

A guided wine tour and tasting at Tenute Girolamo in the Itria Valley includes descent into an underground barrel cellar, a tour of the winery with an English-, Spanish- or Italian-speaking guide, and a tasting of selected wines paired with a platter of traditional Apulian cured meats and cheeses. The experience lasts two hours and is wheelchair accessible.

The experience

The barrel cellar sits 18 meters underground, a place the operator describes as where time slows down. You descend into it as part of a guided tour that uncovers the secrets behind each bottle: how the wine rests in silence and what goes into every stage of production. The guide walks you through the winery itself, explaining the process and the passion that shapes what you'll taste.

At the end of the tour, you taste a selection of the winery's finest wines. Each one is paired with a platter of local delicacies: traditional cured meats and cheeses that tell the story of Apulian tradition. The tasting is built around these flavors meeting, not just the wine alone. The whole experience takes two hours.
