Bologna Hills: Organic Docg Wine Tasting & Winery Tour

Really enjoyable wine tour and tasting - excellent wine and lovey surroundings. Staff are lovely and give you plenty of time to enjoy

Good vibes, good wine, nice guide.

We traveled to this property via taxi which was great and I would not recommend anyone walk up to it like I’m reading in other reviews because it would be too difficult. The hosts were wonderful and kind and it was lovely to meet them. They gave us about 4 delicious wines and snacks to accompany them. I have to admit I was somewhat disappointed that we did not sit on the terrace overlooking the beautiful countryside which is what is shown in the pictures. I assume it’s because of the very high temperature that day that they had us on the shadier side of the building but as a result we didn’t have a view. Unfortunately, the views of the countryside were my motivation for doing a wine tasting like this because I could have stayed in the city center to drink wine. If you choose this activity I do hope you get the terrace with the beautiful views because these hosts were great.

Beautiful settings in the small village of zola pedrosa. THe tour was interesting but the wine tasting was the “star” of the show. Delicious and stunning. Puchasing a bottle wasn’t overly expensive. Definitely recommended

Incredible wine and fantastic views! We were able to taste 4 great wines, see the vineyards, wine cellar, and watch the sunset over the Bolognese countryside. Would highly recommend!

Frederica was a fantastic host and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour around the vineyard with her. As she worked at the vineyard making wine herself she had excellent knowledge of the history of the vineyard and surrounding estate and was able to answer any questions we had about the process of how their wine is made according to the owners specific vision. At the end we were invited to sample some of the different wines they produce and even purchase some wine to take away should we wish! Grazie mille Frederica!

Beautiful, relaxing experience. The wines were outstanding and the host was friendly and knowledgeable.

Really lovely vinyard just outside of Bologna. Amazing views and amazing wine ☺️🍷 We had a lovely time with the whole group. The guide was great and very friendly!

Had a great time despite the rain. The rain cut the tour of the grounds a bit short, but still had a wonderful experience. Fabio and his wife were very welcoming and warm. After a quick tour of the vineyard, we went inside to see where everything was made - from de-stemming machines, to the vats and bottling. For the tasting, again we had to stay indoors due to the rain. The wines were great and Fabio’s insights on each were very interesting. They even provided a few small sandwiches for each of us as well. I’d recommend this to anyone interested in visiting a local vineyard close to Bologna. We took a short train ride from Bologna Centrale and arrived at the Zola Chiesa stop about 20 min later. From there we walked - it’s about 15 min through a nice neighborhood - but it is uphill. Not a bad walk, just beware it’s uphill on the way there. The Vineyard sits on top of the hill and has beautiful views.

Canceled last minute minute. not happy , this is not what you expect when travel 5000 miles to explore a country

This was a great experience to interact with a winemaker that has authentic connection to the land and history of the vineyard. It was great seeing how this vineyard aims to keep its history while reinventing itself for the modern world.

An insight into winemaking, with delicious wine and beautifil scenerey to boot! Its not necesarily solely a wine tasting experience, but more a wine making tour with tasting included.

A tour and tasting with the owner/winemaker was terrific, and the wines were delicious and a good value. Unfortunately it was raining so we couldn’t tour the vineyards or see the views, but we still had a great tour.

The winery is placed in really beautiful surroundings. The hosts made sure that there was a really cosy and relaxing atmosphere. We had a warm welcome, and a very good introduction to the local area and the different type of grapes. The tasting was amazing With fantastic Wine. We hope to be able to buy the Wine in Denmark sometime. :)

Fabio was a great host who even joined us drinking at the end! We were a group of 8 students and the wine tasting exceeded our expectations. Super fun and authentic experience with large amounts of quality wine! There was always a second bottle ready in case the first one didn’t suffice. If we ever come back to Bologna, we’ll visit again 🍷

A fantastic experience, a discovery, an extrasensory journey

Very good value for money! Very friendly and helpful staff. We are very happy with the event.

We did a wine tour with six friends at Manaresi. We were taken by the friendly guide who could answer all our questions in a fun way. In the end we were allowed to taste 4 wines and we even got tasty snacks with the red wine! All this with a beautiful view during the sunset. In short: a successful tasting and highly recommended!

Uitzicht fantastisch..begeleider wat ongeïnteresseerd met telefoon bezig. 50 euro te veel geld voor de matige wijnen, behalve de witte pignoletto was ok.

Lovely evening in quiet environment, with a nice Owner who told us about the vineyard. Great view. Also good wine that was enjoyed on site.
