The highlight of our trip! - I can't begin to say enough amazing things about Angel and this experience!! If I were to plan a trip, knowing what I know now, I'd beg Angel to clear his entire schedule for us! This was truly the highlight of our trip!! My husband and I had the most amazing time in Emilia-Romagna and we've already sung Angel's praises (and sent pictures of his card to our friends and family planning trips to Italy) to pretty much everyone we've seen since our tour! Although we booked a small group half day tour, it turned out to be just us (my husband and me) for the day. Instead of cancelling due to a failure to meet the group minimum (we experienced this with a different tour on our trip), Angel provided us with a truly unforgettable private gastronomic adventure!! He explained every little detail and process at each facility we visited and worked his magic to let us try and taste things other guides could not provide. He's a sommelier, pentalingual, and has the best wine, cheese, and basalmic vinegar pairings you can imagine! He even arranged a pairing of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and basalmic vinegar we tried during our visit to each facility at our lunch to let us fully experience the phenomenal, fresh, and delicious products we learned about that morning! During our drives, he gave us an incredible history lesson on the Medici family, Florence, and Emilia-Romagna, and let us take a 10m "rest" after the delicious meal and early morning! He provided us with sensational "must see" and "must do" tips for the upcoming stops of our trip and had several fantastic stories and experiences to share! The conversation flowed beautifully and you can tell Angel takes immense pride in his family and his work! He even dropped us off next to our hotel in Florence! I could not imagine a better day or tour guide! You will regret not booking this tour (or any tour provided by Enotropea Wine Tours) with Angel!

The Best Day Ever! - My daughter and I went to Emilia Romagna with Angel as our guide extraordinaire. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does and about what he is talking about and explaining. The two places he took us to were impressive and top quality. We loved everything from the drive to the parmigiano reggiano farm where we saw the process from start to finish. We were very lucky to taste the first Olive oil extracted at the balsamic vinegar family business, which also produces olive oil, offers a bed and breakfast and a delicious lunch featuring pairing balsamic vinegar and including the first pressing of olive oil. What an experience! What a day!!

Excellent experience - This trip is a foodies dream. Cheese, Vinegar, and wine. The cheese factory is amazing and allows you to ship to the US. The vinegar tour was educational and the tasting was fantastic. I was able to send a large shipment back home which was amazing. Lunch was superb too. Then off to a Lambrusco tasting at a small winery. The tasting was impressive. Another business that ships to the US. Best of all is the tour guide Angel. He makes every part of the trip so special. DO NOT miss any of his trips.
