We recently visited SAIO winery for the picnic in the vineyard and had an amazing experience. We were greeted by Agnese who was very friendly and enthusiastic and spoke very good English. She was more than happy to talk about their family farm, the art of growing grapes, the wine making process, and the factors affecting wine. We enjoyed our... More

We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in Assisi. The entire trip was wonderful but the most memorable romantic memories we have are of the "picnic in the vinyard". The food and wine that were waiting for us under the cupola brought tears to our eyes. Don't go to Assisi without visiting the SAIO Wine Shop and Vinyard. More

Agnese - Thank you for an absolutely WONDERFUL time today at your shop. All the food we tasted from the Umbria region wsa perfect. And the dishes your mother made were just wonderful. She even got my picky eater of a husband to eat and totally enjoy lentils. If you are even considering passing through the Umbria region or if... More

What a magnificent place this winery is. Now Australia have some great wineries but this gorgeous family run winery was amazing. Agnesia (not sure if correct spelling) was fabulous and its a joy for someone to share their love of wines as well as their job. This is a must see (and taste) place. I went with a wonderful young...

We visited in June 2011 and had a lovely time learning about the wines and the area from the family's daughter, Agnese. She did a superb job describing their wines and her enthusiasm was infectious. The wines were all delicious and we ended up buying a mixed case to ship back to the states - sangiovese, sangiovese + merlot, and... More

My wife and I visited SAIO's wine shop in late March as the last stop on a wonderful day of touring wineries near Perugia and Assisi. By the time we were ready to visit SAIO, the sun was getting ready to set, so our very capable and helpful tour guide, Elena Buzzini, called ahead to SAIO, and Agnese from SAIO... More

We combined our trip to SAIO with a visit of Assisi, the shop is 5 minutes away from the historical center. Agnese (one of the daughters) was our hostess during the visit, because of the bad weather she prepared an alternative program in the wine shop (very modern) for us . During the tasting of their wines in combination of... More

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the SAIO Wine Shop. We loved the "From the Vine to the Glass" tour of the vineyard with our welcoming guide and member of the family that owns the shop and vineyard, Agnese. She provided great information and descriptions of the grape growing and wine making processes. The vineyards sits about... More
