Gusto Wine Tour FAQ’s.

A. You will encounter easy-going, social people who are interested in wine, even if they don’t know much about it. They will become extra-friendly once they’ve started tasting.  Yes, that’s you we’re talking about!

A. As long as you can reasonably negotiate the glass to mouth manoeuvre, you will be absolutely fine!

A. We operate out of central Umbria – Near Montefalco. Contact us for details.

A. We are happy to accommodate service animals, but since some of our guests are allergic to animals, plus most wineries have their own dogs, we find it best to restrict animals on the tour. Also, on a similar note, please tell us if you have any fears of animals – some of the farms and wineries that we visit are family homes with family pets – if you are afraid of dogs, please let us know.

A. Well, by our very name, this is really a day designed for adults. To be honest, children get pretty bored as the day doesn’t cater for them specifically and we all know how most kids love to be the centre of attention and will do their utmost to ensure this happens! With this in mind you must be 16 years old or older to come on a wine tour.

A. It varies: We have a minimum of two guests. Our tours are usually small groups, between 4 to 8 guests. We find that people prefer the more intimate feel of a smaller group. Please still ask us for availability if you are a solo traveller, you might be able to join an existing tour. If you have a bigger group, contact us for a quote.

A. Of course! If you are pleased with the service and entertainment put forth by Mark, you are most welcome to offer him a gratuity. Your thoughtfulness will always be greatly appreciated.

A. Yes! If we enjoy ourselves, you’ll enjoy it too! We really love what we do!

A. Yes!

A. No! And No!

(Unless you are outside of our pick-up area and we arrange to collect you, then there will be an extra fuel charge!)

A. No, the tasting fees are included in the tour price.

  • We are an easy train ride from Rome to Foligno – a great day out from the city! We provide all necessary information and collect/drop-off at the local station
  • Due to local traffic restrictions and unnavigable streets, we cannot collect from inside the walls of most town/city centres, but we can always arrange a good collection point outside the walls

The boring bits: T & Cs:

If we ever have to cancel, we will repay you any deposit paid, less fees.
If you cancel and have paid more than the non-refundable deposit, we will partially refund depending on how much in advance the cancellation is. Anything less than a week before the tour and there will be no refund. If you cancel or are a ‘no-show’ within 24 hours or on the day and have only paid the deposit, we will send a payment request for the remainder.
