Our tour guide Enzo was absolutely the best ,Took us on a wine tour that was the most incredible wine tour I’ve ever been on . After we went to the winery he took us to an amazing little church then for some gelato We also stopped for a beautiful view of the sunset . thank you so much for the great experience.
Many thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed. All the best. Enzo
Enzo is by far the best tour guide we have had in our several trips to Italy. The winery and its owners were beautiful and accommodating. The wine was fantastic, I bought several bottles to take back home but some never made it because I couldn't wait to drink it. Yes, do it!
Ciao! Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words. It was an absolute pleasure guiding you through my Region. I hope those bottles you did manage to save bring back great memories. All the best, Enzo
Was the highlight og our trip. Rode was very knowledgeable and it was nice to explore the entire town on our first day. The best part was the wine tasting . She took us to a beautiful location and not only was the wine and food amazing er were serenaded by guitar.
Many thanks. Enzo
We had a great time on our wine and gelato experience. Enzo was a great guide throughout the afternoon. Walking the vineyard and learning about the sustainable practices was interesting and we really enjoyed the wines that we tasted. On our stop for gelato, we ended up seeing the town celebrate the Feast of the Madonna della Fontana in Spilinga. We ended the day at Capo Vaticano, which is a beautiful lookout spot. This was our first time Tropea, but we will definitely be back and look forward to spending another day with Enzo on a different excursion.
Ciao! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about the wine & gelato experience. We were so incredibly lucky to be there to catch the energy, culture, and tradition of the Festa firsthand! I'm so glad you enjoyed learning about our sustainable vineyard practices. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you, and I’m already looking forward to our next excursion together when you return. Until then, take care! Cheers, Enzo
This was a great trip and very good company. 7 prople in total so time to talk to each other and share stories. Our guide Enzo was fantastic and had made the trip even better. Thank you and se you next year
Many thanks for your words! I really appreciate it! Best regards. Enzo
Very nice experience! Superb guide Enzo!! We had a great trip to the vinery. Walkaround with the farmers, got the farm history, philosophy around their way of growing grapes, and so on. Very nice sit down in beautiful surroundings and got local amazing food and wine. Thanks to everyone participating:)
Hi there! Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I had a fantastic time guiding you through the experience! It’s always a pleasure sharing the history and philosophy of our local farmers, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the wine, food, and scenery as much as I did. Cheers, and I hope to see you again soon! Enzo
Enzo was a great tour guide in every capacity. He was very communicative about pick up. He took us to special spots within the area. The wine tasting that he arranged was amazing, and truly one of a kind on an actual vineyard. Very good wine and educational too. Not to mention the food bites and gelato were fabulous!
Thank you for such a great review! Bringing guests to the Calabrian organic vineyards is always a highlight for me, so I’m delighted to hear it was a one-of-a-kind experience for you. Enjoying good wine, food, and gelato is what it's all about when you visit Tropea. Best regards. Enzo
Enzo was the perfect host for our experience of slow wine and tartufo. We enjoyed his insights about Calabria almost as much as we enjoyed the wine. When we return to the area, I look forward to booking another of his experiences!
Thank you so much, Antonhy, for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and sharing the wonderful world of Calabrian wine and tartufo. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the insights into the region as much as the wine itself. I'd be delighted to welcome you back on your next visit to Calabria! Kind regards. Enzo
The last day was spent at this beautiful vineyard. All the wines tasted great. Wine tasting and tasted lots of good local food. Our guide Enzo is a bit of the highlight of the tasting. So professional. One of the better tastings I've been to
It was a honor to have you spending your last day with us at our beautiful winery! I am thrilled to hear I made your tasting experience so memorable and professional. Thanks for your kind words – we hope to see you again soon! Enzo
This was truly a wonderful experience. From the get go, Enzo the tour guide was attentive and communicative as to the upcoming tour. Enzo picked us up from our hotel and drove us through the beautiful Calabrian countryside to the winery. The wine tasting was great, as we tasted four different wines. We were able to tour the vineyard and the estate. The hosts were attentive and informative. To top it off, a tasty Calabrian spread of cold cuts, cheeses, nduja, arincini, bread... was provided. The second part of the tour was driving to another town to try the mouth-watering tartufo. We were treated to a beautiful sunset near Cape Vaticano. Our friends, a few days later went on a cooking tour with Enzo, and again, he didn't disappoint.
It's wonderful to hear you had such a fantastic experience! Also, it's great to know that your friends also had an excellent time on their cooking experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back to Calabria! Kind regards. Enzo
