Wine tasting. Brief explanation of the grapes. Then in the wine cellar. And then tasting with 3 wines. 1 white and 2 red wines. Explanation there. We had never done a wine tasting before so totally fine for us. If you are a connoisseur very concise I think. We had two children with us, so your attention is not completely there. Children ask some questions in between.

Poala was amazing!! We had an awesome time. We booked the tasting last minute due to another tasting falling out and we could not have been more satisfied and happy about our experience. The vineyard was beautiful, the wine and olive oil was soo delicious and the people were very welcoming, would highly recommend!

Piccola cantina a conduzione familiare. Ottimi i vini. Abbiamo scelto la degustazione sensoriale , 3 calici pane e olio nuovo e essenze da scoprire. Consigliato

A welcoming environment and a friendly and knowledgeable guide. A wonderful experience, I definitely recommend it! Excellent wine

A very nice insight into the world of wine production. We were lucky to tour with a friendly group
