Italy is one of my favourite countries and this was a new thing to try whilst visiting. Had a great time on the truffle hunting tour which fun, authentic and of course delicious.

Our trip to Paris with Winerist was…

Our trip to Paris with Winerist was nothing short of magical — truly a five-star experience from beginning to end.
From the moment we arrived in Paris, every detail was flawlessly organized. The boutique hotel selected for us was perfectly located, making it easy to stroll along the Seine, admire the charm of Montmartre, and enjoy the vibrant café culture. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between iconic highlights and hidden gems, allowing us to experience the city like both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers.
We returned home inspired, relaxed, and already planning our next adventure with them.

An amazing wine travel experience from start to finish

We booked a wine experience through Winerist and everything was handled beautifully. The platform is easy to use, with a great selection of unique wineries and experiences that you wouldn’t easily find elsewhere.
Communication was smooth, the booking process was straightforward, and the experience itself exceeded our expectations — fantastic wines, stunning locations and very knowledgeable hosts.
What I appreciated most was how curated everything felt. It didn’t feel like a generic tour, but something much more authentic and personal.
I would definitely recommend Winerist to anyone looking for memorable wine and food experiences while travelling, and I will absolutely use them again for future trips.

Zero communication after booking

Zero communication after booking - had to nudge twice before getting a response that it was actually not confirmed and couldn’t accommodate our booking. Now left one month before our trip having to scramble with plans. Would not advise.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand this is frustrating. It is why we recommend you book way in advance and at the time when an answer regarding availability is sent to you. Unlike any of our competitors, we do not offer 30 experiences in each region. Our tours are highly curated and are limited when it comes to availability. The tour was never confirmed and your card was not charged as per our T&Cs.
Best,
Sam and the Winerist team

I did a tour of the English vineyards with Winerist. The experience was so easy and smooth. We were picked up at the train station, visited a couple of vineyards and finished with dinner at one of the Estates in Sussex. I highly recommend it!!

Antinori

We organised a private Antinori experience with Winerist in Chianti Classico and Bolgheri. Of all of the providers, Winerist were most on point. They offered exactly what we asked for and we are going to use them again. Just need to find babysitter for our next trip :)!

Excellent private tour of Bordeaux…

We had a great private tour of Bordeaux with Winerist. We requested a rather exclusive day tour and the team was able to deliver access to some out of this world chateaux. I could not recommend this enough. So special. Our guide was extraordinary and this was our highlight. Winerist are excellent at working solely with guides who are licensed, insured and who offer the best possible service. We cannot wait to use them again in Tuscany!

Cancelled my tour before it began

I had a large group tour booked in Portugal and had to cancel it before the tour ever took place because I couldn’t believe how poor their communication was. Every time I’d email them, instead of catching up on our previous communications they’d ask me all the basic information all over again wasting my time. The last straw was when I had to change our group size when a few people backed out of the trip and I wanted to change to a private tour, they again asked me *how many people are you? * What’s the date? * Where is the tour? When I politely answered their questions and asked if they could read my email and respond to my questions, they just sent back the same questions (ones they have all the answers to) but put them in red this time. I asked for a phone number to speak with someone to get in the same page and got no response so I cancelled.

Hi Simone,

Many thanks for your email and for your feedback. Your expectations regarding receiving a private tour at the same cost as a group tour are also unfounded - in particular in high season. Variations in numbers of people, even as little as 2 or 3 people will impact our cost. We work with small companies and business owners at very small margins. To them, every detail and every change is important. We simply needed you to answer our questions via email, in writing - something you refused to do repeatedly.

We pride ourselves in providing a boutique, high quality service. In this situation your expectations and budget were not aligned, your communication sadly inconsistent and whilst we provide a service, we are expecting a certain level of respect which was lacking on your part in this instance.

Enjoy your stay in the Douro Valley.

Best,
Team Winerist

The perfect Casablanca trip with Winerist Casablanca valley was everything I hoped for and more. We deeply enjoyed biodynamic wines in a sense setting.

I can't recommend this tour enough. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, and the traditional 3-course lunch was the best meal i had during my trip. The wineries showcased the religion's unique flavors, and the cruise provided a serene way to enjoy the valley's natural beauty.

Great Birthday experience in Porto

I've booked the Full-Day Douro Valley Private Wine Tour from Porto for my birthday. The tour was amazing! It is a private one so it's perfect if you want to spend time in Porto in a unique way. Besides the view, the full-day tour was well-organized. We enjoyed some wine tastings and a 3-course lunch. The guides were friendly.

DO NOT BOOK WITH WINERIST

DO NOT BOOK WITH WINERIST. They are simply a 3rd-party service with no specific information or expertise on your specific tour, and will not communicate with you openly about timelines, tour companies, and plans up to the day of the event. Furthermore, they are not flexible with customer service and refund policy. Would recommend booking directly with tour provider for more transparency and better customer service.

Hi Finley,

We understand you are upset and appreciate your feedback. Our cancellation policy is clearly stated on our platform as are our meeting points.

We are aware your circumstances have changed and you experienced some bad weather. However, our tour went ahead according to plan and our customers had a wonderful time. We are sorry you were not able to attend and hope that your stay in Porto was still a pleasant and enjoyable one.

The beauty of Tokaj

Adrian put together a beautiful two day trip to the Tokaj region in Hungary. It was an amazing two days. We toured six wineries, met with the winemakers and truly enjoyed the beauty of the region and their remarkable wines. It was very personal and bespoke and we loved it. Our guide Gergeley was incredibly knowledgeable both in terms of the area and the wines. What we loved most was getting to not only enjoy the wines but to spend time with the winemakers and hear from them about their passion for their craft.

Excellent Service - Highly Recommended

We recently booked a wine tour in Spain through Winerist and were extremely impressed with their service. Diana and her team were incredibly responsive, arranging the hotel, wine tours, and a stunning lunch at one of our favorite vineyards. Everyone in our group was thoroughly impressed. We will definitely use Winerist for our next tour. Well done, Winerist!

Absolutely loved our winery experience…

Absolutely loved our winery experience in Sicilia! For the first time I had the most relaxing booking experience - the team at Winerist took care of every single detail of our trip! The host, the experiences, the travel! Highly recommend if you want to see traditional destinations, without falling into tourist traps . They have it all covered!

Another great experience!

I have booked with Winerist 7 or 8 times over the years. This time we experienced Tuscany for the 2nd time together. We had a great time exploring Montalcino and Siena. They selected our hotel - which was exceptional and we got an upgrade and 200 USD credit to spend there too! Our guide Guido was phenomenal and we tasted 8 wines and enjoyed amazing dishes of truffle pasta and pecorino cheese. We will be back. This time in Mendoza!
