Great experience!

Inna_M, May 2024

It was a wonderful experience with a lot of knowledge, passion and great wines! Tannos is a great presenter and excellent sommelier. We learned a lot about the story behind the wines and the region, it felt very comfortable to ask questions and learn during the wine tasting. We've attended several tastings recently but this is definitely one of the bests. Would recommend it to everyone who is visiting Montepulciano!

Response from Host, May 2024

Great experience!!

Kyah_S, Mar 2024

Great experience! We learnt so much from the very passionate sommelier and tried some very nice wines from the region. We’ve done a lot of tastings, but nothing compares to this one. Sitting down and learning so much about each of the wines & the region was really special. We’d recommend it to everyone!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

It was educational, fun and very tasty!

Mandy_V, Oct 2023

I think I never learned as much about the story behind the wines and the region as during this wine tasting. Tassos is an excellent sommelier and great speaker. I loved every second of this event. They are pet friendly too, also my dog was all ears for Tassos stories. Thanks guys for a great afternoon!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Grazie mille Mandy, it was a pleasure meeting you and your dog here at Osteria del Borgo, we are glad you two had fun and learned about Italian wine with us!

Fun & exciting!

Olga_T, Oct 2023

We had an amazing time on the wine tour with Francisco and Taso! Their expertise made the tasting both fun and educational. They were refreshingly honest and open, creating a comfortable atmosphere for enthusiasts of all levels. The tasting venue was clean and inviting, and the educators' genuine interest in our opinions made the experience truly memorable. Their detailed wine histories added depth to the tasting. Highly recommended for a delightful and informative wine adventure. The wine club is meticulously curated, offering diverse themes each month with insightful explanations for their selections. I was particularly impressed by their dedicated month honoring women in wine. It's a fantastic option for personal enjoyment or a thoughtful gift for fellow wine enthusiasts.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Olga, thank you for your kind review and for lovely feedback, we are truly blessed to have had you here at Osteria del Borgo for the tasting! Women of wine was one of our very favorite themes for our Perbacco Wine Club! see you soon 🍷 Francesco & Tassos

An unusually professional dive into the wines of Tuscany, with a good detour into the Piedmont thrown in.

Dana_M, Sep 2023

Tasso is a passionate, serious and accomplished sommelier. His training has led him to many leading wine regions in Italy and around the world. Our two plus hours with Tasso was the most informative and entertaining wine classes I have experienced among the many tastings I have attended over the years. If you are a serious lover of wine, I feel confident you will be pleased with this class. I recommend it highly. We are reviewing the value proposition and will very likely join his wine club upon our return home. Thank you for a very memorable evening, Tassos!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Dana, yes we are blessed to have Tassos, we are so glad you had such an enjoyable time, thank you for the feedback and kind words, we truly appreciate your kindness 🍷 PS. Please join our Perbacco wine Club to receive 12 amazing bottles of Italian wines every 6 months😊 grazie🍷 Francesco

Julie_S, Sep 2023

This wine tasting was such a treat. We really felt like we learned a good background on Italian wines from two experts. It was a highlight of our trip to Montelpuciano.

Must experience if you love wine

Susan_J, Sep 2023

What an amazing educational and entertaining time Francisco and Taso! Tasted nine Italian wines and learned so much about Toscanini wines as well as other wines in boarding regions. Taso was educational, funny and transparent! Highly recommend this event to any wine lovers, whether a novice or well educated on wines you will enjoy this experience! Only tricky park is parking and walking to the venue, so I advise arriving early and enjoy the area. Part of Twilight was filmed in the adjacent piazza so pleant to see and do prior to the event!!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Susan & Bruce, it was our pleasure meeting you, thank you so much for the kind words! Welcome on board the Perbacco Wine Club, thank you for joining us, we're very much looking forward to shipping some great wines to Texas! much love Francesco

Exceptional!

Deanna_G, Aug 2023

One of the best afternoons/evenings of our lives. The hospitality and knowledge shown by Tassos and Francesco was second to none. We tasted the most spectacular wines and learnt so much..we then decided to stay for dinner and I did not want the evening to end it was so wonderful! Do not miss out on this experience in Montelpulciano! 11/10. Give these guys a Michelin star. Grazie Francesco e Tassos

What a great experience! The two guides were so passionate about wine and reaching us. I learnt a lot that I will use on the future. Only wish I could have stayed and tried the food at the restaurant.

Dear Stephen, it was a pleasure to meet you, thank you very much for the great time and for the kind review. See you soon! Francesco

Tolle Weinprobe mit guter Unterhaltung, Expertise und Herzlichkeit!

Kira_M, Aug 2023

Wirklich ein tolles Erlebnis! Wir haben uns spontan zu unserem Jahrestag entschieden, die Weinprobe am Vortag zu buchen. Die Anreise war unkompliziert, da in der Nähe einige Parkplätze vorhanden sind. Wir wurden pünktlich und sehr herzlich empfangen. Zum Start gab es ein Glas Wein für uns beide auf der Terrasse und uns wurde etwas über die Geografie der Weine in Montepulciano erklärt. Danach durften wir acht verschiedene Weine probieren (tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis), wobei wirklich für jeden etwas dabei war. Neben der wirklich interessanten und zu gleich lustigen Beratung von Tasso haben wir eine tolle Auswahl an Snacks bekommen. Zum Abschluss haben wir uns für zwei der Weine entschieden und konnten sogar noch spontan einen Tisch in dem gut besuchten und gemütlich Restaurant buchen. Das Essen war sehr lecker und der Tag war somit rundum gelungen. Wir können die Weinprobe nur weiterempfehlen!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Dear Kira & Lars, thank you for the beautiful feedback and for the wonderful time! Come back soon for more wines and food, we are waiting for you! Safe travels guys, much love from Montepulciano! Francesco & Tassos
