A Great wine experience. - My wife and I met Paolo for a wine tour. What a wonderful time with a fascinating and knowledgeable person. Paolo being a sommelier was able to share a tremendous amount of knowledge about the wines of NE Italy. We stopped at 2 different wine bars. The first we had 2 different whites. The second 2 different reds. His local knowledge of Bolzano added another dimension to our tour. Highly recommend.

Best guide ever! - Martina was one of the best guides we’ve ever met. She is very knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about the history of Bolzano & Tyrol, the wine of the region & the people. We visited two quaint wine bars and tasted 4 wines. We experienced white, red and sparkling wine. We walked around the city center and she pointed out historical monuments. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed Martina so much.

Local vineyards tour - Please check out the small, family-owned vineyard excursion offered by Claudia. You would never find these places on the map, you really need a local insider to show you these hidden places. I enjoyed the experience of the wineries and wine-tasting. It also provides beautiful backdrops for your travel pictures.
