Must do Wine Touring in Italy


Italy is wonderful for wine adventures. They have 30 different grapes growing in one backyard. It has not be over analyzed and incorporated like France. Claudio of La Dolce vita tours is my hero.

He is the pied piper. You follow him down the hall and into the field and he reveals the magic. We spent an afternoon wallowing in Barolos, Barberas and Barbarescos as well as uncovering the wonder of home brewed muscato and the hair removing gappa. Join a set tour or, better yet, hire him as your muse for a day or two. We have already reserved him for a day of Amarone tastings in September!
