Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was one of my favorite days on our vacation! Cristian is absolutely incredible! He has so much wonderful information about this wine region and treats like your family. I live near Napa and thought I had heard it all about wine and tasting but I was wrong, Cristian has so much information and all it was so interesting. We did the Tramonti Tour and it was very special and I loved all the wine, so much so I ordered each bottle and the wine showed up at my house in California before I even got home from my trip. The family that owns the winery was so sweet and welcoming and the mammas even prepare your wonderful lunch. Thank you for an absolutely wonderful day and wine experience!

Our group of 12 spent a day visiting 2 wineries in the Tramonti region of the Amalfi coast. Cristian was easy to communicate with and helped up plan our excursion to avoid an Italian holiday. We were picked up close to our rental on time and met Cristian at the first winery. Cristian was a pleasure to spend the day with - friendly, helpful, and (most of all) very well educated about wine. He shared his expertise in an interesting way and was able to easily tailor his presentations to our particular group. The wines were lovely (and different at the 2 wineries) and the food was excellent and local. We purchased some wine to share at a celebration later that week and enjoyed it again. Our day with Cristian was one of our best days on this vacation and I would highly recommend anyone considering a wine tasting day on the Amalfi coast book with Swirl The Glass and Cristian for a wonderful excursion and memories of a different part of this beautiful region of Italy.

My mom and I visited Tenuta San Francesco and our very friendly host Cristian was incredibly knowledgeable on everything — from the history of vineyards in Amalfi Coast to the makings of each lovely wine we tasted. The four-course meal provided was cooked on the family property, who were also so warm and welcoming. Even our driver Antonio was great and pointed out places along our scenic drive to the winery. I really enjoyed the initiate tour experience, so much so that I left with 4 bottles! Grazie Mille Cristian, from Bianca from New York! Will definitely recommend this to everyone :)

This was a wonderful experience to explore two wineries in Tramonti. Cristian was very informative and answered all questions we had pertaining to wine and the vineyards. The wines were excellent as was the lunch and small bites. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys wine. The driver was also excellent and informative about things to do in Positano.

We took a couples trip to the Amalfi Coast. We started our adventure with Cristian and Swirl the Glass. We visited two vineyards and also had a wonderful lunch. What a way to start the trip! It was the highlight of our week! Cristian even accommodated a gluten allergy at lunch.
We have visited some of the best vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles and also throughout France and Germany...this was definitely the best experience we have EVER had.
Cristian was an exceptionally great host. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.

The Tramonti wine tour to Tagliafierro and Tenuta San Francesco wineries was absolutely amazing! We had a fantastic time with Cristian!! He was so knowledgeable, personable, and professional. We sampled so many wines that were paired with different cheeses and breads/olive oil and we also had a full course meal that was so filling and delicious. This was a major highlight of our trip and worth every penny! I would recommend this to anyone who is a lover of wine and wants to experience good authentic Italian food with good association. Thank you so much again for a memorable experience!!

This was a day where we kept pinching ourselves and knowing that it was truly one of the more magical ones. Cristian Fusco, @SwirlTheGlass , was our expert sommelier and private tour guide in the Tramonti District. We toured Tenuto San Francesco winery and met one of the founders (Gaetano) of this 18th-century family estate. We enjoyed an incredible farm-to-table 3-course lunch prepared right there in front of us. Most of the vines encompassed in this estate are 300+-year-old pre-phylloxera vines. We have never seen vines of this size and planted in the "canopy" method. Cristian was an absolute wealth of information. Our 18-year-old daughter, Sam, peppered Cristian with questions about viticulture and Cristian was so accessible and engaging. I would highly recommend Cristian at #swirltheglass.

We had a great day with Cristian in Tremonti. After a fun drive in from Positano with Lorenzo, who knows the area so well, our small and lovely group of six wandered down to the beautiful vineyard. Cristian is so knowledgeable - it was fascinating to hear all about the vines and cultivation - really, very interesting. He then took us up to the winery where we learned more about the wine making process and sat down for some beautiful home-cooked food and wine pairings, before being delivered back to our hotel by Lorenzo. The time flew by. We thoroughly enjoyed it and give the tour a well-deserved five stars 😊

After our wine tour with Cristian on Sunday, we added a wine tasting focused on Campania Wines. We met at Casa Mele in Positano which was very convenient. There were two other couples which was perfect. We tasted 2 reds and 1 white wine.
Cristian had a small tasting plate of meats and cheeses to help bring out each wines notes.
Cristian is extremely knowledgeable and this was a great experience and a chance to really talk wine.
