Perfect Day! - Absolutely the highlight of our trip to Venice! The wineries were wonderful and the cheese tasting was an amazing treat. Ricardo was great! He was informative and attentive. Next time we are in Italy we will most definitely do another tour with this company and Ricardo. We loved it!

Highlight of our Venice stay! RICARDO IS THE BEST!! - Ricardo was the highlight of our Venice experience! On the drive, he provided us with a little backstory of what we’ll be experiencing. He was very friendly and talkative! The first stop to the cheese tasting was incredible, wonderful fresh cheese and meat and an insight into the whole process. The next stop was to a family owned vineyard in the heart of Valdobiadenne for Prosecco tasting. The owner of the vineyard was very friendly and did a great job explaining the process and history of sparkling wine. We also got a snack here! Ricardo was AMAZING. He never made us feel rushed and spent longer than our allotted time together to show us beautiful sites to take pictures and allowed us to really take in the experience. He was very willing to answer questions and exited to share history and tips. He also gave us tips for the rest of our trip in Italy! We’ll definitely be in contact with him again whenever we come back.
