About Winedering

Winedering is the international wine tourism marketplace, founded in Italy in 2016 by Denis Seghetti and Stefano Tulli.

Our story

The idea was born in California, where one of our co-founders watched travelers struggle to choose a winery to visit out of the hundreds available. Every estate had a different website, a different booking flow, and very few of them spoke the traveler's language.

In 2016, back in Italy, Stefano Tulli and Denis Seghetti put their two backgrounds together (international tourism on one side, digital product and engineering on the other) and started building Winedering: a vertical marketplace where anyone could discover an authentic wine experience and book it online in a few minutes.

Year after year, more travelers keep choosing Winedering. From zero visitors in 2016 to millions a year today, the marketplace counts over 60,000 wine experiences booked and gifted, 12,400 verified traveler reviews, and 6,778 hand-picked wine tastings and winery visits. Along the way, our small Italian team earned a spot in the Runway Innovation Hub acceleration program in San Francisco — and with it, a foothold in Silicon Valley.

Today Winedering covers wine regions across Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany and beyond, with a catalogue curated experience by experience and never auto-aggregated.

Why travelers trust us

A marketplace built around real wineries, real travelers, and a few principles we don't compromise on.

Hand-picked, never auto-aggregated

Every winery and every experience on Winedering is reviewed by our team before going live. No bots scraping listings from third parties.

Direct relationships with wineries

We work directly with each winery and tour operator. When you book through us you are booking the real place, not a reseller of a reseller.

Secure prepaid bookings

You pay only when the winery confirms availability. Most experiences allow free cancellation, and the exact policy is shown on every experience page before checkout.

Multilingual customer support

Our team supports you in English, Italian, French, Spanish, and German, before, during, and after your booking.

Verified reviews from real travelers

Reviews on Winedering come from people who actually booked the experience, not from anonymous accounts.

Flexible gift vouchers

Give a wine experience as a gift voucher: the recipient picks the winery, the date, and the people they want to share it with.

Relax and flavors

Our experience at this winery was very pleasant. It is one of the highest points in the Langhe and enjoys a beautiful view. The winery is very beautiful and welcoming, as is its staff. Excellent wine pairing with the platter (for those who purchase it).

I would recommend this to anyone, as a date or family activity. The owners were so nice and welcoming, and the wine and food were delicious. They even made everything vegetarian upon prior request.

Olive Harvest at Casa Relvas

João recently guided us through the olive oil operations at Casa Relvas. The tour, João and the wonderful lunch and wine and olive oil tastings were everything and more than we anticipated. All in all, it was a great experience!

Enchanting experience at the mother winery of Falanghina

We were incredibly happy with this experience. The winery is ancient, underground, 16 meters below! We were welcomed by the owner, and the visit was extremely interesting. We have visited several wineries until now, but this one is truly special. The wines were delicious, in fact we bought a few bottles to take home.

Mission and values

Winedering exists because authentic wine experiences deserve a window onto the world that is as direct as possible, between the people who make wine and the people who travel to taste it.

We defend small wineries, family-run estates, and independent guides who would never make it onto a generic travel marketplace. Their stories, their hands, their land: that is the experience travelers come for, and that is what we curate.

Discovery, not aggregation. Authenticity, not volume. We would rather list one winery less than list one we have not personally checked.
