We had so much fun with our guide. The history of Venice, the market, the food! I'm a pretty adventurous eater, so most of it didn't make me blink. But the video of my friend trying octopus is awesome. We learned, ate, drank, and basically when (not if) I go back to Venice, I'm doing it again. Do it, you will have a blast!

This tour is a compromise between an informative walk and a gastronomic tour. I will take you to 3 different "bacari" where you will taste a glass of wine (or non-alcoholic drink) and a shot at each bar. At the same time I will show you a more authentic and less touristy Venice, we will see a court with a legendary history, a particular bridge that is out of time, I will tell you anecdotes and curiosities about this wonderful city ... and much more! Venice is a magical city, so don't be surprised by what we'll see, because only in Venice can it happen ...

Inclusions: We will stop in three different bacari: in each bacaro you will be offered a typical Venetian shot and a glass of wine (or non-alcoholic drink)

The vineyard also features a small BnB with a small restaurant (that serves a great breakfast) and rooms with French doors opening up to the olive trees and views of Verona city below. Splendid, splendid!! I stayed there one night with friends - the room was large, well appointed. The reception was friendly ('have a glass of bubbly in our lobby seating area while we review your passport, as per tourism rules' - how hospitable!). The bed was comfortable, the breakfast delicious.

Our team did a virtual cooking class together on Zoom! The recipes and instructions were clear and we were ready when the class started. It was so much fun and I can't believe we were able to make an amazing risotto AND a tiramisu to enjoy with our families that evening. Julia, our chef, did a great job of identifying each next step while keeping us calm. She could look at our dishes and let us know if we needed a little something more or, uh oh, a little something less! The food was delicious and we really had a great time all together, despite being in different countries and different kitchens!

The view from the garden was amazing. Jacopo was very informative about the wine making process, how to pair them with food, and how to tell the quality of the wines made in Italy. Each wine that he brought out had its own distinct flavor based on the process of how it was made and it made the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't had a chance to try some Italian wine but are interested, this is a great place to start!

I wanted to send a gift of wine to someone in Verona, and I reached out to Sara for help. She was extremely helpful and very generous with her time, and always replied quickly and kindly to all of my questions. With her excellent wine knowledge, she helped me put together a selection of local Italian wines and get them delivered (with no charge for the local delivery!). She even took the time to translate and hand write a beautiful letter to include with the wines. I can't say enough about her gracious professionalism. I look forward to a day when I can travel to Verona again and enjoy some of the wine and food tours that Sara and Virginia offer. If I could rate them higher than five stars, I would!
