Wine Tasting at a Chianti Winery

Can you join a winery tour, understand tasting language, express preferences, buy wine, arrange transport, and solve an order problem in Italian?
How it works

NEW · Speaking Mode: Tap Start speaking and wait for “Listening”. Tap Stop speaking when you finish your answer. Then review the transcription and check your response. Help reveals words, a starter and finally a model; help is recorded. Short pauses are allowed.

Read, listen, or speak your way through a realistic winery visit and tasting in the Chianti countryside. Choose or say the reply you would actually use in Italian.

Some replies are clear, curious, and natural. Others confuse tasting etiquette, wine vocabulary, what is included, extra charges, food pairings, bottle quantities, shipping, purchase documents, or the final order.

When communication breaks down, repair it with phrases such as: “Mi scusi, non ho capito”, “Che differenza c’è tra…?”, “Quindi è incluso, giusto?”, “Preferisco qualcosa di più morbido”, “Mi conferma il costo totale?” and “Credo ci sia un errore con l’ordine”. At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.

Scene context
  • You are visiting a winery in the Chianti countryside after booking an English-supported tour, but the roleplay interactions happen in Italian.
  • You need to confirm the booking, understand what the visit includes, follow tasting etiquette, ask about wine terms, express preferences, understand food pairings and extra charges, choose transport for bottles, and verify the final order.
  • Your goal is to communicate naturally in Italian and repair misunderstandings before they lead to unexpected charges, unsafe assumptions about transport, the wrong bottles, or a conflict over a fixable order error.

Guided Speaking

Listen to the other speaker and use your own words to achieve the goal. Tap Start speaking, wait for “Listening”, then tap Stop speaking. Review your transcription and tap Check my response. The task check may ask for a missing detail.

This mode checks task-specific details in your text, not pronunciation or all grammar. Unfamiliar wording can need teacher review. If your phone joins spelled letters into a name, retry or mark the goal for teacher review.
