This one is a must! Best Tour Ever! - Andrea was our guide for the day. He made our day so special! He shared so much history about the region and we loved the black and white rooster lesson! Book this tour - you will be so glad you did! We loved the two wineries; both families were incredibly gracious and so hospitable! The wines and olive oils were amazing. We shipped some home to remember our wonderful and perfect time here. The views and the drive were breathtaking. Andrea - we cannot thank you enough! We loved every single moment.
