We did the winery tour in May 2019. We had a very enjoyable morning with a very helpful and knowledgeable guide at the winery and a very pleasant and friendly guide for the whole excursion in Luca. The Offida wines are fascinating and we especially liked the varieties which we don't see in Australia, including pecorino. Had a great lunch with Luca at a country restaurant we would never have found by ourselves.

Good overview of the city especially with small children. The English tour on headphones was very difficult to understand because it was read by and Italian with a strong accent. It would have been much better had it been read by an English or American person without an accent.
