About Winedering | The Wine Tourism Marketplace Since 2016

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 58,200 wine experiences booked and gifted, 11,800 verified traveler reviews, and 6,829 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.

Wonderful experience!

We visited this wonderful agriturismo to try their “vineyard walk and wine and oil tasting” experience and we completely fell in love with this stunning location, the warm welcome we received, and the expertise of the girls who work there. It is a family-run agriturismo and wine and oil producing estate with a great history behind it. We started with an interesting tour of the vineyard, where we were able to pick the last remaining grapes (Vermentino and Pigato); meanwhile, Monica explained the family's history and their production techniques. It was both fun and truly interesting, kudos to Monica and her passion and expertise! Afterwards, we enjoyed a wine tasting (4 glasses of different varieties of Vermentino and Pigato) and oils, along with some accompanying snacks. Everything was delicious, set against a “backdrop” of peace and serenity that made the whole experience even more magical. The location is marvelous, with an infinity pool boasting a truly breathtaking view of the sea.

The Experience Was Informative & Fulfilling

We were fortunate to arrive during the harvesting season thus witnessed the production first hand. Our guide was excellent in giving us the tour and providing us with information. The food & wine pairing was excellent, especially with the outdoor seating and the magnificent view of the mountain, valley, and the vineyards.

Magic and tradition

Wonderful day, in the wake of amarcord, great myths and biodiversity; thanks to Carmelo (you were incredible), a complete immersion in the world of vineyards and grapes. A great emotion for the heart and the palate with a unique and sincere tasting. Sorrentino Vesuvio is the top for those who love to get lost in the history of organic viticulture. Well done!

Engaging

Great wines accompanied by typical local products, specially chosen to enhance the tasting. Winery tour with a trained and knowledgeable person, particularly regarding the Borri estate and all the types of wine it produces. Willing to stay past the agreed time without rushing the guests.

The founders

Two backgrounds, one marketplace.

Denis Seghetti

Co-founder & Chief Digital Officer

Co-founder of Winedering with 17+ years designing and building digital products, e-commerce platforms, and SEO/SEM strategies. At Winedering he leads engineering, product, and digital marketing.

Stefano Tulli

Co-founder

Co-founder of Winedering, Tourism Economics graduate, and former US-market tourism representative for Italy. He founded a tour operator in central Italy and now oversees the tourism side of Winedering: supplier relationships, destinations, and partnerships.

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.
