Vino! Vino! Little Italy Wine Tasting Walking Tour

This is NOT a food tour. It is a wine tour with a small amount of food. There are three stops all serving obscure, organic wine. Interesting for sure, however the wine is described well at only two of the stops. The third stop, they don’t tell you anything about the wine at all which was disappointing. At the second stop, with only a very small amount of charcuterie to sustain us, we were starving so we decided to ask for more bread. The server obliged, the tour guide blanched, AND I got charged $12 for four quarter chunks of bread for the table. Also there was a strict timeline which we were not keeping apparently (likely because of the extra bread request) and at the last stop, we had to vacate our table and none of us were done. We all gulped down our pasta or had it boxed up and took our remaining wine to the sidewalk to finish. And our guide had plans so booked it as soon as we were outside. Which is also fine. It wasn’t bad at all, just not the casual, strolling around Little Italy, sampling wine and snacks along the way like we expected. Especially for the more than $100 per person that we paid. I’ve done many, many tours both food and wine. This is kind of in the middle. It does both fine, however, neither food tour nor wine tastings were amazing. Also note, this tour begins on the very edge of Little Italy and only advances a few blocks in along India Street. It would be great for folks who don’t want to walk far but it would have been nice to see more of the neighborhood. I am also a firm believer that these tours should be conducted by someone who is passionate about food and wine. Beau was fine, very nice and knowledgeable about San Diego but she knew nothing about wine which was a bit disappointing.

I took this tour with 2 of my closest friends. We had an Excellent time. Ben was a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and was able to give us recommendations for things to do in the San Diego area. We went to 3 different locations on the tour and learned a little History along the way. 10/10. I would Definitely recommend this tour. We had a great Group and a Great Time in Little Italy!

Magda was amazing! Very informative about the area and the wine. Variety of winr was brillaint, great trip!

I was part of a family group of 5 in July 2025 for the Vino Vino walking tour, and we loved it! Our tour guide, Magda, was wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and accommodating. We loved the wines and the small bites. She also gave us a recommendation for a gelato place that was very much appreciated. Our group would highly recommend this tour, as well as Magda.

Magda was a wonderful tour guide. She was engaging and with lots of San Diego history. She offered insight into wine tasting. The tour allowed us to visit three different establishments and a variety of different wines to taste. Wonderful activity and a must while in Little Italy.
