2 hours of fun out of the blistering sun! - Very informative. Great history called Ron a multilingual Dutch man. Fascinating journey under the ground into the caves dating back to the Etruscan era. Wine tasting at the end was delightfully unhurried with no pressure sales tactics. Tasted 6 wines ranging from 15 to 90
Euros a bottle. Nice touch with the nibbles served alongside.

Do the 6 wine option! - They were so informative and the wine was actually very good for someone who’s not an expert. You’re guaranteed to have a good time and learn something too!

Very nice wine cellar - It was a nice refreshment to walk through the wine cellar at 17C° and learn the story. Some parts were carved out of the stone by the Etruscans. Our two dogs were also allowed with us, which was also a refreshment for you. Delicious wine, nice people, we loved shopping.

Nice to see - Nice to hear the history… and see the cellar and in the end to taste the expensive wines.
The big Vessels are not used anymore….
If the cellar creaties a better wine is still a question mark.
