Tenute Girolamo
About the Winery
Located in the heart of the Itria Valley in Puglia, Tenute Girolamo is a family-run winery born from the vision of Michele Girolamo, who returned to his hometown in 2001 to pursue his dream of producing exceptional wines. What began as a passion soon became a thriving estate, now managed by his son Piero, who carries forward the family legacy with innovation and dedication.
The estate covers 40 hectares of vineyards planted between 2004 and 2005, and is committed to quality over quantity. Tenute Girolamo cultivates both native Apulian grapes—such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, Aglianico, and Verdeca—and international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot. This unique blend of tradition and modernity results in elegant, expressive wines that honor the land and elevate the profile of Apulian viticulture.

Great wines and exceptional staff, but some reservations about the VIP formula.
I confirm the extraordinary quality of the wines, always excellent, and the beauty of the place. A special round of applause goes to the girls who followed us during the tasting: they were simply exceptional, wonderful, super competent, and endowed with great empathy. We had arrived an hour ahead of the scheduled time and, seeing us under the hot sun, they immediately made us comfortable in the cool with air conditioning, showing disarming kindness.
Regarding the VIP experience, however, I have a note to make: the description mentioned a "light lunch", which I expected to differ slightly from the classic cold cuts and cheese tasting (perhaps with a plate of pasta or something extra), given that we were tackling as many as 7 high-alcohol wines. In fact, we received the exact same platter as the previous time with the Premium. Having 7 important wines to taste, the girls themselves, realizing the situation and our need to better accompany the alcohol content, took care to bring us an additional platter, once again demonstrating their attention to customers.
If I had known that the difference between the VIP and the Premium lay almost exclusively in the number of wines and not in the food proposal associated with the "lunch", I would have opted for the Premium formula again. Precisely because of this small disappointment related to the meal description, my rating stops at 4 glasses, despite the winery and staff truly deserving the maximum for the care and professionalism with which they welcomed us from start to finish.
If you do not have a kitchen to offer a real 'lunch', I still advise you to enrich the gastronomic offer of the VIP formula (given that you taste as many as seven wines of character) or to update the online description to be more transparent.
Excellent tasting
Excellent wines and welcoming atmosphere
Despite it being a rainy day, the atmosphere was welcoming and pleasant and we still managed to enjoy the tour and the tasting.
We liked the wines a lot: we bought several to take home, and we were also intrigued by others we hadn't tasted, so we got them. It was nice to discover new flavors and to better understand the work that goes into every bottle.
My boyfriend has also taken a sommelier course and who better than him could teach me a few little tricks to best taste an excellent wine from the winery! It was a special moment to share together.
During the tour there was also a very kind gentleman who explained many interesting things about the wines and production, although unfortunately his name escapes me now.
No particular suggestions, we had a very good time. Next time we would like to try other wines from the winery.
A great discovery
Tastings are clearly aimed at tourists, they should also focus on vineyard tours, tastings among the vines, and tastings more focused on the wine and less on food pairings.
Recommended.
Exquisite and unforgettable
We toured their wine cellars, we received relevant information then we tasted 7 of their wines, each accompanied by local charcuterie and cheeses.
The people there are welcoming and super nice. We highly recommend them!!!
Everything was perfect
