I have a wine tour set up for my trip with my husband in Florence this June. I was wondering if the wineries you go to try to push you into buying cases of wine to ship home? I I don't want to offend anyone at the wineries, but it takes away from the relaxation of it all when I feel like I have to buy wine out of obligation.
For context: I live in middle of wine country in Oregon and have been to dozens of wineries over the years. Only one has ruined the experience from pushing me to make a purchase. Any insight would be lovely. Cheers!

We didn't have any problems there, and of course, these days tariffs may have a big impact on commerce of all sorts.

We did a day of wine tasting in the Piemonte in 2023. We did not feel pressured at all. We did ask for the US importer’s contact information at one winery and we split a case with our friends at another. But that was because we wanted the wine. Not because we felt obligated.
