About this experience

An immersion in the heart of Basilicata, on the slopes of an extinct volcano, the Vulture, around which the region's best-known vine grows luxuriantly: Aglianico. The tour starts from Venosa, a delightful center with an ancient history. An important Roman colony, the citadel was an important Norman outpost in the 11th and 12th centuries. The visit includes the archaeological park, where traces of the Roman baths are still evident, the mammoth Incompiuta, up to the sixteenth-century castle of Pirro del Balzo. From Venosa we then move to a nearby winery to visit the vineyards and taste three labels of the delicious Alianico del Vulture. We will discover the phases of the harvest, the history of the company, and we will appreciate this full-bodied wine.

Venosa, an ancient Roman colony and city of Aglianico wine: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Venosa, an ancient Roman colony and city of Aglianico wine cost?

+

Prices start at $15 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 Venosa, an ancient Roman colony and city of Aglianico wine take?

+

Plan for about 29 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 Venosa, an ancient Roman colony and city of Aglianico wine worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 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 Venosa, an ancient Roman colony and city of Aglianico wine?

+

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 Venosa, an ancient Roman colony and city of Aglianico wine suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 29-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Venosa, an ancient Roman colony and city of Aglianico wine?

+

Around 0 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 29-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Venosa, an ancient Roman colony and city of Aglianico wine 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 Tour in the Sassi of Matera with Casa Grotta and Rock Church, Sassi di Matera guided tour with Giulio, Discover Matera, the ancient city - English tour. 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.
