We had such a fantastic time and can’t thank Alice enough for such a memorable day. Everything about the tour was thoughtfully done, we especially loved seeing the cheese-making process up close and learning about the rich family history behind the balsamic vinegar. It really brought the whole experience to life. The tastings were exceptional, and we truly enjoyed every moment spent with Alice and Lorenzo who was not only our driver for the day but also our lunch host. Ending the day at Lorenzo’s winery was the perfect finale, hearing about his craft, watching the Nonna’s at work preparing the fresh pasta, and sharing that incredible lunch made it all so special. Thank you for providing such a welcoming tour and for sharing such a beautiful part of the world with us. It was genuinely a highlight of our trip. With gratitude, Sonya, Jeff & Hannah 🙏💕
