Amazing Amarone! - The Amarone-Soave wine tour with Ricardo was more than we could have asked for! Ricardo was not only a knowledgeable wine guide - but his personality made this tour exceptional. His choice of wineries were perfect along with the tour around Verona. You know it had to be good as we are patiently waiting for our wines to be delivered! You cannot go wrong with Ricardo!

Riccardo was ECCEZIONALE!! - Riccardo was responsive to our texts and we had no trouble meeting him in Venice. Then it was an hour to the first winery by private car. He was able to give us history of the area along the way. Both wineries took us into the vineyard and a knowledgeable wine tasting with local meats and cheeses followed. In between each winery, Riccardo took us into the beautiful and historic city center of Verona where we were shown the highlights such as the amphitheater, Juliet’s balcony, the Fort and more. This tour was the best day tour we have been on so far during our Italy visit. A lovely day and well worth the money.

Tour of Northern Italy - Thank you Riccardo for a great wine tour. We truly enjoyed meeting Nichola (Soave) and Estelle (Amarone) and we were very impressed with their operations. Hayden is now a fan of white wine and an even bigger fan of Amarone. Your knowledge of both wine and of the region was most helpful and made the tour very enjoyable. Hayden and I are true fans of northern Italy and we hope to come back for another visit. You are a great ambassador to your country! Say Hi! to your wife and to your dogs. Thanks again! Tim and Hayden Grooms
