Great tour and tastings! - Wonderful tour at a good price and top planning. I was able to visit 2 family-run wineries, a bigger and fancier winery first before a smaller, very personal one. Had a wonderful day learning something new about wine making progress and tasting amazing wine, including Amarone.
Great tour, can highly recommend!
