Description

Good to Know

I'm a native of Teramo, one of the most important wine areas in Abruzzo. I'm a wine & food lover and I'm increasing my culture and knowledge attending a 3y Sommelier course at the Italian Sommelier Federation (FIS). On all the FIS events, I'm able to invite my guest to join exclusive tastings, as well as having personal connections with most of the wineries in Abruzzo, allowing me to have a better treatment for our guests. As well as being an official Tour Leader recognised by the Abruzzo Region, I found Experience BellaVita, a company that promotes sustainable tourism experiences in the less touristic areas of Italy, in Abruzzo. I and my colleague & friend Alberto, we run together the experiences that I designed over the years. He has my same qualifications and the same passion for Abruzzo and our wines. 1 of 5* reviews Marino was really knowledgeable, super friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a nice time. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Be treated as a local, you will feel part of a group of friend, not a tourist!

Snacks

Bread 'Casereccio' -Home made organic Evo Oil - Cured meat & cheeses platter (depending on winery)

Alcoholic beverages

At least 3 Wine tastings (18+)

You might get to taste extra wine glasses or older vintages,

Receive an outstanding experience, in ‘English’

Have access to places & wineries very few people know (not listed on google) or are allowed to go,

You can receive exclusive discounts on wines.

Transport (can be arranged for a fee)

This is a slow-paced experience, great for families, those who know little, but also for wine connoisseurs that want to discover wines from Abruzzo. Based on your location, I'll pick a winery on the hills of Teramo and we will meet at the vineyard and start the slow visit to the winery taking the time to discover the secrets of each winemaker and their philosophy. One visit will last at least 3 hours. We will meet the owners who will show us their winery, vineyards, cellar and will share the history of the family over the past centuries. After an introduction about the history of the winery, we will visit the technical installations, ending with an explanation about the ageing process. Guided by the owners and advised by their expertise, we will then start the wine tasting including 4 different local grapes. I will also guide you through the steps of a proper tasting. The tastings are always accompanied by fresh bread & organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. *Additional visit to other wineries can be arranged upon request for an extra fee (Special requirements, visit to specific wineries and wine pairing can be arranged upon request) *Transport can be arranged for a fee

Marino is the guy to use when visiting the Abruzzo area!

Second time having Marino help with arranging a wonderful activity! He is so knowledgeable about the Abruzzo region. The wine tasting and winery visit was memorable and Abruzzi wines are great. If you planning a visit to this region of Italy, Marino is the best person to assist. We enjoyed the truffle hunt and cheese making from our first trip in 2022 so it was a no brainer to use him again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Kathy, Thank you for this wonderful review and for trusting me again to help you explore Abruzzo! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the winery visit—and it’s fantastic to see you’ve become a fan of natural wines since your first visit. It was also great fun (and a bit of hard work!) harvesting olives together this time around—memories I’m sure we’ll all cherish. Looking forward to even more Abruzzo adventures with you in the future! Grazie mille, Marino

The best guide in Abruzzo (and beyond)!

We've had an unforgettable trip thanks to Marino's fantastic leadership. He took us, together with his friends and family, to the most beautiful places in Abruzzo and we could contact him for all questions and wishes. If you come to Abruzzo or Teramo, having Marino as your guide during your stay is a must!

The Best Tour of My Life! Abruzzo, Italy

WOW! What can I say about Marino Cardelli and Experience BellaVita? This was the best tour of my life, and I travel a lot! We had a large group of 16, and Marino worked very hard to provide transportation, which was excellent, and to accommodate our needs. Our 3 days were full of fun, interesting adventures, superior lunches, and for our group, wine tastings. We had a great tour of a winery, a self-guided day in Sulmona using Marino's recommendations, and on the third day a tour of an Abbey ...read more

Grazie Jan, Marino

Wine tasting in Abruzzo

Marino met us at a newly-established bio-winery near Teramo. Nat, one of the proprietors, explained in considerable detail (and excellent English) his approach and philosophy. It was a real pleasure to talk with people who have such a passion for their work and to enjoy with them some of the fruits (pun intended) of their labour. All in all, a very enjoyable visit in a beautiful part of Italy.

Grazie Peter, I'm very happy to have introduced you to Abruzzo and our wines. In this part of Italy, we have a lot of potential, especially when it comes to wine, still undiscovered and underrated. We are trying to do our best to promote the best wine traditions of Abruzzo to passionate & curious people like you. Was my pleasure to host you and Karen. We see you at the next wine adventure! Thank you so much, Marino
