Magical & wonderful.
Nico, our chauffeur, translator, tour guide etc, was an outstanding young man who set the tone for the whole visit, and Anna-Marie who taught the masterclass was very informative and delightful. I believe everyone on the visit had an incredible time, aided of course by some great wine and a wonderful lunch with tremendous atmosphere and local music.
We left feeling refreshed, mentally, emotionally and physically, if a little ’heady’, and a little regretful that we were returning to the ‘motorised’, bustling city.
Most highly recommend and our sincerest thanks to Nico, Anna-Marie and of course Umberto for producing beautiful wines and maintaining the delightful Minardi vineyard.
Excellent value for money! Brilliant activity to share with friends and family. Amazing Hosts!
Perfect!
After the tour, go get the famous gelato in the center!
A beautiful way to spend the day away from Rome, experiencing Italian culture firsthand (and with your hands in the dough!)
Everyone was very kind and very attentive, the pasta kneading with its explanation. The tour of the vineyard, the wine tasting (very generous). They also treated us to freshly harvested figs (a very nice touch). And someone came to sing at the end of the meal. A very nice plan whether you go alone or with company.
The meal was very complete; besides the pasta we kneaded, they served more things.
It would have been nice if they had shared the recipe for how to make the pasta afterward, beyond the explanation at the moment.
The sauces that accompanied the pasta could have been tastier and more special. During the class, they mentioned things like mushrooms or sage that were not in the sauce later on.
