Lovely wine tasting experience - Would definitely recommend this wine tasting and tour. It was incredibly informative and really interesting to learn the wine making process. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The tasting itself was really well explained and accompanied by a nice platter of meat, cheese and bread. We had a lovely couple of hours here. Travelled from Sirmione by taxi , which was just over 15 mins away. The staff at the vineyard kindly organised us a taxi back.

Great wine tour - We really enjoyed the wine tour. It was about 15/20 minutes from Desenzano where we were staying, so our hotel organised a transfer. The tour itself is really informative and we got to try a number of lovely wines. They also provided a platter of bread/ meats / cheese which was a nice touch. At the end you have the opportunity to buy the wines and olive oil made at the winery. All in all I would recommend for a few hours fun.

Everything was great - The organization is at a high level. a very clean, beautiful and newly organized winery.
They blew us away, especially the lady who explained everything to us.
The wines are excellent, the Merlot is perfect!!
4 types of wine and a nice antipasti are really enough. When choosing, we chose German as the main language, but actually English was perfect and didn't bother us at all. my recommendation definitely goes here!!

Fantastic tour and wine tasting - Excellent tour and wine tasting. Only two of us and shown around the winery by a lady who was very nice - Juliette (?) - it’s was raining heavily so we didn’t go outside around the vineyard which was fine. Mary then took over the wine tasting and she was outstanding talking us through the wines and really made the day special. We were served a very good platter of meats and cheeses. We took a taxi from Desenzano cost €25 euro and Mary called a taxi for the return trip. Takes about 15/20 from centre of the town - highly recommended.
