Summary: Our visit to Cantine Merinum was the highlight of our holiday in Vieste. Strolling through the vineyard, hearing the back story from the owner, learning about wine production and then sitting down on their lovely verandah and enjoying a hearty three course lunch was just heavenly. Afterwards, we were able to lounge by the beautiful pool with the friendly local cat!

Summary: We experience a wonderful wine tasting and dinner in September 2024 We booked directly online with the business and enjoyed Cinzia’s wine tour and information on the history of wine growing and viticulture in Vieste. Cinzia is very passionate about her vineyard and the wine making process handed down from her Italian grandfather. The meal was outstanding - 4 courses with 3 excellent wines and their delicious olive oil. Highly recommend this experience 10/10 Worth the 10 minute drive from Vieste town

Summary: What an incredible experience! We had a lovely 4 course dinner and 3 wine tasting in the Cantine’s vineyard, followed by stargazing guided by an astronomer. Honestly we didn’t expect such a special and enchanting evening. Thanks so much to Cynthia and her team!

Summary: We are from Australia- grandparents travelling with children (2 vegans) and 8 month old grandchild - and this was no problem and we were made to feel very welcome! The tasting includes beautiful wine and food and includes a personal and comprehensive explanation of the wines, the olives and olive oil they produced, the history of the area and the family vineyard. The tour of the vines and cellar were equally enjoyable. We had a wonderful evening in a beautiful location with excellent food and wine. I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting the area.

Summary: If you’re thinking about planning a trip to Italy, particularly southern Italy, I highly recommend that you visit the Cantine Merinum in Vieste, Puglia. It’s a family owned, mom & pop winery with a friendly staff, a gorgeous view, a nice pool, a lovely restaurant & bar with fantastic food, and rooms you can stay in for astonishingly cheap prices! You can tour the vineyard, taste the grapes and olives grown there, sample the wines paired with pugliese dishes, relax by the pool, and you can drive or walk to the incredible beach nearby within minutes. Cinthya(pronounced Chintsia), part owner and granddaughter of the man who started the winery, gave us a tour. With her knowledge and passion for her wines and of Puglia in general, she is as impressive as her vineyard. It’s rare to meet someone in the United States who knows so much about the local culture, flora & fauna, foods & beverages, natural resources, customs & traditions, conservation & preservation efforts, and history of their region. She takes great pride in being an Pugliese italian and a third generation winemaker. What would our towns be like in America if more of us had such pride in our respective places and practices? There are many reasons why Italy is as impressive as it is, and I believe the collective mindset of the Italian people is chief among them.  Again, if you want an exceptional experience for a surprisingly low price, I can’t recommend Cantine Merinum enough. My wife and I loved it, and we couldn’t help brining back some goodies. Their Bombino Biancho, Malvasia Nera Rosé, Nero Di Troia, and Olive Oil were just too delicious to leave behind!
