“Rosanna (Roxanna?) was wonderful! She really engaged with our six year old daughter and told us lots of interesting things to keep her attention with the tour. She also allowed our daughter to play to bring history to life. Rosanna gave us a good tip, too: to have our daughter look at the map later in the day to remember what we did.

“Transportation is efficient and friendly. The hosts at the winery are do knowledgeable and friendly. We sampled five wines and a grappa, officially, with lovely, freshly-prepared food, but had the option of sampling two additional wines, and could even have enjoyed more. We had an interesting and entertaining tour of the vineyard from Giovanni, and Giusy and he were so attentive at our table. All wines are delicious, and all organically produced. This was our second visit within the year, and I'd more than happily go back in the very near future, (I'd happily go once a week if truth be told...just a shame that the vineyard isn't just around…”
