Reviews
The wines were good and the expert was lovely. Very good English and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended
This is more than just a wine tasting it is also a wine education. Julia is well schooled on wine in general but especially the wines of this region. I highly recommend this tour.
The instructor is extremely knowledgeable but very down-to-earth and fun. Doesn't matter if you know a lot or a little. You will enjoy tasting the wines and learning!
Excellent, very well presented and informative
Julia is a real professional. We really learned a lot and the wines she selected were varied and interesting. Highly recommended for any visitors to the area.
We were lucky enough to get a private wine tasting on a sunday. I really enjoyed it! Lisa really knows what she is talking about :)
Julia provided lots of insights and I learnt a huge amount about, both, how best to taste wine and the different grape varieties of the region
Julia was great. She gave a comprehensive and comprehensible presentation of Piedmont wines and their production, with 4 different wines to taste. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to ask questions of. Thank you
Great experience! Julia was an excellent guide, fun, and knowledgeable. I learned all about the wines of piedmont. She explained all of the grape varietals of Piedmont and really made it a unique interactive tasting. Totally recommend.
Julia is a charming and knowledgable host who widened our knowledge of wine in general and Piemontese wines in particular. We were fortunate in that we had her to ourselves but her format would also work for larger groups. Plenty of time to ask questions and dicuss wines. She is able to make enjoying wine relevant to us all.
The best wine tasting we have ever done! Julia is amazing, so knowledgable, fun and interesting. She knows everything about all things wine and her set up is perfect, do not miss this!
Personable and knowledgeable! This region has so many fantastic wines including Nebbiolo, Barbaresco, and Barolo, but there are others. You will taste and interpret the wine so you enjoy it even more. Great class that could be adjusted based on experience.
Excelent and informative tasting thanks to Julia!
This is the very best experience! Julia was knowledgeable about all the wines in this region. Her wine shop was charming and she was ready for our arrival. Highly recommend!! This was an amazing day tasting wines
This was an educational experience that was fun and informative. Our host was easy to talk to and her presentation was memorable and fun. The school is easy to find as it is centrally located. We learned quite a few things about some popular Piedmont wines.
Great introduction to the wines of the region. We had a very enjoyable and informative evening tasting wine and learning how to distinguish different varietals. We are wine lovers and have attended many wine tastings around the world and most highly recommend this experience. Would be enjoyable if you are an experienced wine lover or a novice. Can’t wait to return in the spring or fall and visit wineries of the Langhe in depth.
We had an exceptional experience at this wine education course. We tasted several excellent wines, and while the wine was good, the information and story behind them was even better. Julia is an excellent educator and very kind and warm person. We learned a lot, we're now motivated to actually go visit some of the micro regions in the Piedmont area. And we'll make good use of the knowledge that we gained in this course. I highly recommend this. It is very approachable class. I personally have had a lot of wine instruction in France. Yet I still learned a lot of information in this. But it's also useful for someone who has only been a casual drinker of wine at dinner. This will help you up your game and increase your knowledge and your enjoyment of wine in Italy.
Julia provided an incredible wine experience in the heart of Torino. Firstly, I have to say thank you for allowing me to be a solo traveler and come in and have this wonderful presentation with her. Julia provided for an informative and well researched session on some local white and red wines which were all excellent quality and certainly very memorable. I quite enjoyed her making the session highly interactive with a lot of good thoughts and backgrounds into the regions and the wines that were presented on this particular morning. I finally learnt about what it takes to become a DOCG and DOC recognised wine! The experience was also enhanced by playing fun games in asking what famous person or actor you think these wines would resemble. Julie's wine shop is comfortable and provides for a very warm experience in quite pleasant surroundings. I spent around 2 hours with Julia on this morning, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to gain an understanding of local wines from this region and be exposed to a highly interactive wine tasting experience. Julia's experience in wine and her background in the hospitality industry in general makes her the perfect blended person to present this experience to those who are looking for a wine experience and not have to travel to a vineyard. Thank you Julia and I hope to do this tour again when I return to Torino Italy.
Julia was an incredible host! She had lots of information about Piedmont Wines, and the wines we tasted were delicious. We tried four wines, and we were at her store for around an hour/hour and a half. She also had great dinner recommendations- we went to Adelaide's for dinner afterwards (5 min walk away from her stores). We bought two bottles of the Barolo and left very satisfied.
Fun and interesting evening wine tasting in Torino. Julia, our host was very knowledgeable and entertaining. This tasting could clearly tailor to any level from novice to expert. She made it interactive and fun for the group. We recommend it
Excellence in education, passionate and informative. Thank you Julia for a wonderful experience, cannot wait to buy wine for more experiences
A very informative, interesting and interactive session. Julia was engaging and gave us lots of great tips on identifying and talking knowledgeably about the lovely wines from the Piedmont region. We would definitely go back to learn even more in future.
We greatly enjoyed our wine tasting with Julia. She is very knowledgeable about wine and this region and gave us a fine selection to sample and learn about.
This was a great wine experience! We had very little knowledge of Piedmont wines prior to this and really enjoyed learning about 4 primary varietals. The somm leading the class did a great job guiding the tastings and I learned a lot. It was also very low pressure and easy-going.
We had a wonderful time in Julia's wine tasting class! We got a great overview of wines specific to Piedmont, and learned about the typical grape varietals as well. We even learned cheat codes for describing wine flavors and terrific wine/food pairings (did you know that champagne pairs well with french fries?!?!). This experience was a gem, and we learned a lot (in a very fun way)!
We had a fun and informative evening on the subject of wines from Piedmonte. The speaker was very knowledgeable about the wine growing region.
The wine tasting was very well arranged. We tasted 4 different wines and Julia knew everything about the origin, smell, taste, and mouthfeel. The tasting was at a good level for beginners (like us). We would reconmend the tasting with Julia to anyone who visits Torino and likes to know more about the regional wine culture.
A great introduction presented in a clear and engaging manner. An enjoyable evening in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Really professional and informal wine tasting. Also relaxed atmosphere and felt easy to ask further questions. Highly recommend!
Small group of four for wine tasting. Good presentation on Piedmont wines. Very knowledgeable. Nice mix of 2 red and 2 white wines. Highly recommended for a one on one type of experience in Turin without traveling to wineries in area.
I spent a delightful 90 mins tasting and learning about the local piedmont wines. Julia was both knowledgable and engaging and the wines selected were excellent.
This class was fantastic, both informative and entertaining, and we tried a interesting variety of wines. Julia is a great instructor. Would highly recommend!
We had a unique experience as intended up being just the 2 of us for the wine-tasting at the time we had booked it. Julia did a great job of welcoming us, giving an overview of the wines and involving us as we went along to feel included in the experience. We would most definitely recommend it to friends - or anyone wanting a peak into the world of Piedmont wines.
The experience was something to not miss if you are in Turin. Julia prepared a great presentation of some of the most famous Piedmont wines. She is an amazing teacher - she provided information about the region, the wine and some wine tasting basic steps that made us appreciate the wines even more. She made it even more fun interacting with the group and creating games to ensure we had fun. The wines were great (1 white Arneis, 2 red Barbera and Barolo and a sweet moscato). After the class, I asked Julia some recommendations for wine producers to visit and for some wine bottles to buy as gift and she went above and beyond sending me a very thoughtful list. Really great experience!
It helps to know some basic principles of wine production and tasting to fully understand how to properly process the information presented.
Is introduction to Piedmont wines is very informative. The structure of the introduction allowed for experiencing the wine as well as asking questions relative to the beautiful wines.
Best wine tasting ever😊🙏👍 Smart , entertaining and interested in teaching us from the deep of her heart. Love to come again and again and again…..
We had an amazing time!! Not only did we get to try some amazing wines, but we also learned so much! This was one of the first times I’ve actually been interested in, and actually learned something about wines, pairings, and regions.
Julia is a wine expert who was great at explaining Piedmont wines. Extremely personable and clear in her explanations. Also made the entire event into a fun and memorable experience!! Thanks so much Julia!!
Amazing. It was so good. We've done several wine tastings and I can say that Julia stands out. She is a connoisseur, expert on the Piedmont region. We had such a good experience!
Julia has a beautiful, welcoming space. She is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The wines she chose for the tasting were delicious and she gave us information about how to experience and pair wines to impress others. She also incorporated some games into the experience which was fun.
Great experience. Learned a lot about wine and the regional wines. Also, loved the variety of wine we tasted. They were all great!
Julia is very knowledable about her field and passionate about wines from the region. It was great to hear about some of the less known wines in the area, as well as learn more about the higher reputation ones. The wine tasting was very engaging and was very adaptable to make sure that the class met expectations.
Listening to Julia talk about Piemonte wines and tasting white (1) and reds (3) was a treat. Learning about history of wine growing in Piemonte, culture, the different varieties of Piemonte grapes, growing the grapes, food pairing discussing the "nose and taste" of the different wines we shared and more and more made the time go fast. Thank you Julia! All stars to you! Maria
Great time and great wines. Julia was very knowledgeable and made the experience informative and fun. Ended up buying three bottles of wine because I enjoyed it so much. Great experience if you are visiting the area and are not familiar with the wines in the region. She was also able to recommend great restaurants.
Exceptional wine tasting and education. Highly recommended! Julia made of the experience, fun and accessible for those of us in the group that knew and loved wine, and those of us that were pretty new to the Wine world. Worth every penny!
Julia is not only extremely knowledgeable about wine, she is a lovely person and a woman who loves to teach. She has a vast knowledge of the wines of Piedmont but also of the wines of the rest of Italy as well as much of the rest of the world.
This wine tasting was fantastic. Julia is an excellent teacher, warm, funny and with great knowledge of wine! Our strongest recommendations!!!
Very knowledgeable and fun! Left with a stronger appreciation for Piedmont wines that will not be forgotten. Highly recommend! Julia was a delight.
