Taste four Italian wines with cheese, prosciutto, and mozzarella in a small Como shop led by a sommelier. A friendly, useful local tasting.
“The sommelier was excellent - she was very knowledgeable and we loved the selections of wines we tasted.”
Taste four or seven wines with Italian cheeses and cured meats at Como’s Capitan Drake Wine Shop, guided by a sommelier in a small group.
“Super accueil. Notre guide (Sandu) était d’une sympathie et d’une gentillesse énorme. Nous avons adoré degusté les vins ainsi que manger la charcuterie preparée sur place. A faire si vous êtes à Côme”
Tour Carozzi Formaggi in Valsassina, see cheese maturation, and taste eight Italian cheeses with compotes, wine, and coffee.
“It’s interesting to watch the production of cheese which you can try later during the tasting. Inside the diary, the smell is quite intense, so you’d better be prepared for such “attractions”. We were in a group of Italians and foreigners, thus the guide spoke mostly in Italian while there was a very little explanation in English only, which was a bit frustrating (in my opinion it shouldn’t be even mixed). You cannot take any photos inside of production line which is a bit disappointing too.”
Pick a roof, a refectory, a kitchen or a jetty.
