Tasting at Tenuta Mara Great and smooth experience, from the booking to the experience itself. The booking is easy and I received the confirmation the day after with all the info, thanks WineTourism! The winery is truly amazing, one of the best ever seen. If you are searching for a cultural visit, that's the place for you : a lot of insights about the Biodynamic processes and a lot of art and beauty. The wine was outstanding that I had to buy it.

A fantastic experience Our guide was brilliant and we had a wonderful tour of the whole process from vineyard to oak barrel. It was a small group which made it feel very personal and gave a great insight into the history of the family. The tasting was brilliant- so much information provided on fabulous wine, all accompanied with delicious meat and bread. This was the perfect way to spend an afternoon- worth every penny and highly recommended.

Balsamic and cheese tasting and tour Fabulous tour with a wonderful guide. She was knowledgeable, shared many stories and it was a true education on how balsamic is made! Thank you!

Deceiving description It was very difficult to get to, the staff was initially welcoming and then eventually forgot about us, we tasted small amounts of 4 wines (with long breaks in between), got some bites to eat but were never offered “dinner” like the experience described, they were hosting an event soon after our visit so they put zero effort into us and all their effort into setting up for the event. We felt pushed out when finished with the sips of wine, never were offered a bottle or glass for purchase. Overall a brutal experience and I would not go back.
