Too expensive
Excellent products for sure, but the samples are really, really small, the price is disproportionate

Good
The tasting was very well explained, the portions were a bit small
Response from the operator: We understand that you might have had different expectations about the portions, but we're glad you enjoyed the local host's explanations. Thank you for your feedback!

A lovely local experience
I’ve never been to anything like this so I didn’t know what to expect, but we really enjoyed it, friendly atmosphere, lovely location, educational and interesting. Not to mention the wines and canapés were incredible! Host was so so lovely and passionate.
Response from the operator: We're so glad you had a great time, especially if it was the first time doing a similar experience! Come back anytime :)

A very enjoyable and informative experience
I really enjoyed learning about the “ladies’” and “gentlemen’” grapes and the different wine regions around Trieste. It was also my first time tasting olive oil like this. I normally just use it for cooking and salads, so it was lovely to learn how to appreciate the different flavours. The wines and canapés were delicious, and everything was explained in a friendly, relaxed way. I left having learned something new and would happily recommend this experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the lovely review and recommendation! We're glad you had a great time and learned so much about the wine and olive oil of the area!
via Tripadvisor
Excellent
It was excellent! Learnt so much about how to taste wine and olive oil! Also the influences from different regions! The lady (I’m so sorry I don’t remember her name) was hugely passionate and extremely well informed! Obviously lives her subject and that was infectious! We were on our own doing the tasting which gave us more confidence and we asked a lot of questions
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed the experience and the atmosphere. We hope you can welcome you in Trieste again soon!

Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trieste.
How much does Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Trieste usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Trieste is not rushed.
Is Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Trieste, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting?
+
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 Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting?
+
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 Trieste 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 Trieste and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting 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 Trieste 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 Trieste?
+
On Outty we rank every Trieste experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Prosecco Origins Wine Experience, Private Trieste Sightseeing Tour, Trieste: Unique Food Tour with Local Flavors and Tastings. 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 Trieste?
+
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 Trieste?
+
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 Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting?
+
Included: Snacks; Alcoholic beverages; and Two extra virgin olive oils from Trieste. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting?
+
The wine bar is situated in via Roma 24B. It has a glass door and two windows, with bottles of wine decorating the glass. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Trieste’s Essence Wine and Olive Oil Tasting wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
