A late-morning sun warms rows of low-trained vines as you arrive in Guagnano, about twenty kilometres west of Lecce. The air smells faintly of dry earth and rosemary; gnarled Negroamaro trunks spread like small trees under the alberello system while the winery’s pale stone buildings stand quiet and exacting.

A late-morning sun warms rows of low-trained vines as you arrive in Guagnano, about twenty kilometres west of Lecce. The air smells faintly of dry earth and rosemary; gnarled Negroamaro trunks spread like small trees under the alberello system while the winery’s pale stone buildings stand quiet and exacting.
This short tour weaves Puglia’s winemaking story into the landscape: Negroamaro and Primitivo here are products of centuries of selective farming on calcareous, clay-rich soils carved by the Adriatic climate. Walks among the vines reveal the alberello pruning method—an ancient, space-efficient form that shapes each vine into a compact, sun-catching goblet.
The itinerary diverges from pure tasting with a visit to a local painter’s hermitage, a Gaudí-inspired creative retreat where color and tile interrupt the rural geometry. Back at the winery, a professional sommelier guides a tasting of four wines paired with a marenna platter of local cheeses and cured meats—an introduction to Salento’s simple, bold flavors.
Practical details: the experience is two hours, adults only (18+), and most guests arrive by car; optional local transport can be arranged for a small fee. The walk through vineyards is easy but unpaved—sturdy shoes are recommended. Note health advisories for travelers with spinal or heart conditions. Book in advance during spring and harvest season; arrive with water, a hat, and an appetite for deliberate sips. This tour is concise, culturally rich, and grounded in the terroir that makes southern Italian reds unmistakable.
The experience lasts approximately two hours: a winery tour, a vineyard walk, a visit to the artistic hermitage, and a guided tasting of four wines.
Transportation is not included by default; the tour requires your own vehicle, though a local transfer can be arranged for about €5 per person paid locally.
Non-drinkers can join for the tour and hermitage visit; inform the operator in advance so alternatives or smaller pours can be arranged.
Vineyard paths are unpaved and uneven; the winery buildings may have limited accessibility, so the tour is not recommended for travelers with significant mobility or spinal issues.
