Exceptional Cheese tour - Fantastic tour! Highly recommend. The tour guides were exceptional and very knowledgeable and welcoming. Detailed view of the actual process of cheese making on an actual farm that produces/processes the cheese.. The tour provides transportation to/from the tour - excellent service. Definitely my husband and I enjoyed this tour very much & the tasting of cheeses and wine were superb.

The Real Deal. Up Close Cheesemaking By Hand. - If you want to meet some cows and view cheesemaking up close, this is the tour for you. The organic Gazzano farm that we went to in February 2026 produces just six wheels a day and we saw them all formed by hand. It was an extraordinary experience to see so much of the process from literally inches away. The tour was super informative and you can choose to bore down deep into all the details or just observe. We learned about the milking (approximately 500 litres per wheel!), the shaping, soaking, labeling, aging, and grading just to name a few. Samples were plentiful and there was zero sales pressure to purchase anything. It was a memorable experience for our family (including a 13 year old) and was exactly the sort of artisanal production we were looking for. Bravo! Go and kiss a cow. They deserve it.

An excellent program! - The program was very good. Clear explanation by the guide, Mattia, whose family is a cheese producer, we followed the actual production phase, i.e., and the final tasting is excellent, without savings in cheese to prove. Duration at the right time, the schedule was respected.
