    A great experience for Wine Enthusiasts

    Giancarlo was exceptional. Very knowledgeable, very friendly. A really great experience learning about the history of wine but also being given some great examples of local red and white Bolognese wines. Would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys Wine & History or people/groups who are looking for something different. Really useful for the start of your holiday in Bologna to learn what is available. Grazie Giancarlo, Molto Bene!

    Response from the operator: Dear Stuart, thank you for your appreciation and especially for all your heartfelt advices! ;-) Best wishes and a beautiful continuation of your journey! Giancarlo

    Great Class with Great Wines and Food

    Giancarlo was super knowledgeable about wines in the Bologna region! Very informative and fun class. The food was great. Couldn’t recommend this tasting enough! The food and wine you get alone is well worth the money, let alone the knowledge provided.

    Response from the operator: Dear Jon, thank you so much for your words, it has been a pleasure to have you guys here...and sorry for the late reply! Cheers! Giancarlo

    Wines in Bologna

    As a foreigner who has lived in Bologna for many years, I really appreciated this initiative aimed at showcasing local wineries, led by a very well-prepared professional who entertained us pleasantly in an intimate and welcoming venue while tasting excellent quality wines. An experience definitely to be repeated with the other proposals presented.

    A superb tasting!

    We participated in the Emilia VS Romagna workshop. A stone's throw from the towers of Bologna, an introduction to tasting complemented by a short history lesson that allowed us to immerse ourselves even more in the culture of the region. With a little final game... I'll leave you the surprise 😉

    The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bologna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Bologna is not rushed.

    Is The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bologna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna?

    +

    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 The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna?

    +

    Around 2 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 Bologna 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 Bologna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna 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 Bologna 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 Bologna?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bologna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bologna Local Pasta Cooking Class, Ragu, Spritz, Wine & Gelato, Bologna Food Experience: Factory tours & Lunch By Italian Days, Small Group Bologna Food Tour – Local Food & Market Experience. 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 Bologna?

    +

    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 Bologna?

    +

    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 The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna?

    +

    Included: Snacks; and Alcoholic beverages. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna?

    +

    Giancarlo will welcome you outside the wine shop Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Wine Tasting Workshop of Bologna offered in?

    +
