Danielle Made it HAPPEN!!! Our ship had to change ports from Salerno to Sorrento..we were told about 8:00 p.m. the night before. I was in a panic as we had booked a private tour…I texted Danielle and advised him of the changes…after a few exchanges he told me not to worry he had it under control. The next morning we were met by the friendliest face in all of Italy! (By the way I had used Danielle with Wine Tour Amalfi Coast on previous occasions). Our day started with a drive over the mountains to Ravello, with pictueous scenery and narration along the way. Upon arriving in Ravello we were directed to Gusti and Delizie where we had a private olive oil, balsamic vinegar and wine tasting with products from all over Italy as well as local products. The EXPERIENCE was amazing, interesting, informative with lots of ooohs…ahhhhs.. and laughs. We contributed to the economy heavily and they are shipping products home for us. After this delightful experience we were whisked to a private family vineyard for some amazing food and wine. I’ve never tasted anything like the locally grown tomatoes, Homemade buffalo mozzarella, smoked mozzarella, oils and meats all raised and cooked by the owners along with some fabulous wine. I wanted to buy everything I tasted. Alas since we were two hours away from our Port we had to hustle into the car and were soon winding our way along the coastal road. We were in for another treat. Danielle pulled over at a beautiful spot then proceeded to pour us glasses of champagne…we took pictures with dramatic poses and talked about our amazing day. We were driven back to the pier where hugs and tears were exchanged. I vowed to be back in May with my family in tow this time..The VERY.. VERY.. best day of our trip along with one of the most memorable days in my life….You are missing out if you don’t have at least one day with Wine Tours Amalfi Coast and Danielle….You definitely SPICED up my life.
