    Great visit

    We booked a trip to a vinyard with tasting in Ginosa, Puglia. First we were left to see the vinyard by ourselves and we were wondering what's happening..was a bit confusing..but after a while other guests started to arrive. Finally the actual tour started. We were introduced to the vinyard and told what grape was produced there and the whole procedure how everything was made. Also they farm olive trees and we got the information on how they are grown there and how old some of the trees are. Was very interesting. Next was time for the actual tasting. We got to taste 6 wines and 6 different olive olis with bruscetta. With the last wines we were served with focaccia with cold cuts and Mozzarella. All was absolutely amazing and the chat with other guests and with the family owned winery was so much fun. Even with a bit of a rocky start the final experience was absolutely worth every penny and I can highly recommend this visit.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Gnuster, for your detailed feedback. We're thrilled that you appreciated the tour, the tastings, and the interactions. Your comments about the start will help us ensure a smoother experience for future visitors.

    Private winery tour

    Wonderful visit to a small winery not too far from Matera. The winery experience was great. We tried many wines and were given many local food samples. The driver was friendly and good. The tour company made me feel like we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was very worried about the experience.

    Not sure this tour was a great value

    Pros; We were picked up and taken to the winery in a luxury van, although 15 minutes late. The winery is very small and it took only about 45 minutes to tour the grounds and production facility. The family that owns the property is lovely and the wines were excellent While tasting, we were provided with a variety of regional appetizers. Cons; The tour is operated my a local tour group, Martini Viaggi. The experience while meeting at their office was chaotic and the employees were rude. The tour was scheduled for approximately 4 hours, but it would be difficult to spend that much time at the venue. We have used Viator successfully in the past, but not sure if we would consider this tour a 400+ euro experience.

    Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Matera.

    How much does Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera cost?

    +

    Prices start at $251 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Matera usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Matera is not rushed.

    Is Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Matera, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Matera can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Matera and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Matera within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Matera?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Matera experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover Matera, the ancient city - English tour, Tour in the Sassi of Matera with Casa Grotta and Rock Church, Matera's Sassi Walking Tour - PREMIUM GUIDES. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Matera?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Matera?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Private Trip to the Vineyards of Ginosa with tasting from Matera?

    +

    Included: Full tourist assistance during the tour via phone, WhatsApp, or email; In-vehicle air conditioning; Wine tasting and local snacks; Guided tour of the cellars and vineyards; and Private round-trip transfer with a V-Class Mercedes or Ford Transit minivan. Not included: Lunch/Dinner; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
