By Lisa R for Discovering Sardinia Tour on Sep 30, 2024
Sardinia. A place where time seems to have paused, holding onto centuries of tradition with a quiet, dignified pride. Here, the ancient meets the present in a way that's almost untouched by the frenetic pace of the modern world. Reflecting on my time in Sardinia, I am filled with gratitude for this unique place. A land that feels as different from the rest of Italy as you could imagine, with its own language, its own customs, and a rugged landscape that defines it. The people here are warm, welcoming, and deeply connected to their roots, especially the shepherds who have shaped this land for centuries. Their way of life, tending to the hills with their flocks, is as much a part of Sardinia as the sun and the sea. The beaches—oh, the beaches. They’re like nowhere else on Earth. Soft, white sands give way to crystal-clear waters so vibrant they seem unreal. It’s the kind of beauty that takes your breath away, leaving you in awe at every turn. And the food… oh, the food. It’s more than a meal—it’s a story, a history passed down through generations. From the shepherds’ cheeses—like the sharp pecorino—to the perfectly roasted meats, and the earthy richness of the bread. Sardinia doesn’t just feed you; it nurtures your soul. And of course, the wine. It flows as freely as the laughter around the table, binding together friends and strangers alike in moments of shared joy and celebration. Wine here isn’t just a drink; it’s an expression of the land itself. A heartfelt thanks to Sam at Wine Crush Experience for curating such an unforgettable journey, and to Simone, our guide, for breathing life into every story and hidden corner of this beautiful island. Your passion, knowledge, and care transformed this tour into an experience of true depth and connection. Sardinia, you’ve left an indelible mark. For your shepherds, your beaches, your culture, your people, your food, and your wine—I am forever grateful.

My wife and I had a fantastic time. The wines and tours were all excellent. The hotels were very nice as well. Most of all Sam was a great leader and our local guide Ines were the best. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone interested in wine.

The Crush Wine Naples tour was a wonderful opportunity to visit the Amalfi Coast area and the city of Naples. We were provided with some unique and interesting winery tours that might not have been possible on our own. And the bufala mozzarella farm tour was outstanding. The tour director Sam is clearly knowledgeable about wine and very down to earth and easy to talk to. The tour group was small (18) and everyone was friendly and engaging. Some had been on multiple tours with Sam and seemed like family! The native Italian tour guide Alice was really great. She provided interesting and meaningful history and cultural background to some of the areas we visited. Overall it was really an A+ trip. Looking forward to doing more with Sam.

This was our first trip with Crush Wine - we rated it a 5/5. The whole trip was well organized and stress free. The tour and city guides were excellent and enhanced the traveling experience. There were 18 people on the tour and everyone was very friendly. Went to great tourist sites and off the beaten path places we would never have been ourselves. The food, wine and hotels were great. We will definitely look forward to future tours with Crush Wine!
