A great tour. We have seen and experienced a lot! The announced tastings were also all excellent! Elisabeth was/is a walking lexicon. None of our questions remained unanswered! Clear recommendation! Our guide Elisabeth should be mentioned explicitly again! Top!

Danke Paul für deine wunderbaren Worte, ich freue mich, dass euch die Tour und die Verkostungen gefallen haben. Ich hoffe, Sie werden die Gelegenheit haben, wiederzukommen! Lg, Claudia
We have found that the best way to discover a new town is through it’s food! Bolzano is an amazing food place, having the cross over of the German and Italian food cultures. It is even better when Sharon is your guide. Her english was impeccable and being a local, she knew all if the nooks and crannies. We grazed through all of the food groups, including a brewery whose building was first inhabited in the 1400’s as a winery and we had a delightful flught of 5 different beers that changed my perspective on German basic blond beer.
Thank you for your wonderful words. We are happy you enjoyed our town and diverse food! Til next time!
