One of my favorite experiences in Italy and definitely the best wine and olive tasting experience I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot!!) The views from the venue are breathtaking (especially at sunset) and all of the details are so thoughtful (like the mirrors that reflect the vineyards and olive trees!) And the best part is DONATO!!!! In my decade of experience working in education, Donato is one of the best educators I’ve ever had the honor and privilege of learning from. He is SO engaging and informative, passionate and funny, and a true gentleman. And Constanza! Wow, she is so sweet and kind - put a smile on my face every time I saw her. I can’t wait to come back whenever I’m in Italy again! I’m the meantime, we have lots of bottles of wine and olive oil to tide us over ☺️ grazie mille!!!
