Barolo & Barbaresco wijntour met een sommelier

Als ik meer dan 5 sterren zou kunnen geven, zou ik dat doen. Onze rondleiding door wijnmakerijen in het Langhe-gebied van Piemonte met Andrea van Amanda's Wine Adventures was het hoogtepunt van onze reis naar Piemonte. Andrea's kennis van de regio ging veel verder dan zijn gedetailleerde kennis van de wijnen, dus de tour was een ongelooflijk interessant verhaal over de mensen, de landbouw en de geschiedenis van de regio. Zijn intelligentie, gevoel voor humor en gemakzuchtige bereidheid om al onze vragen te beantwoorden, zorgden ervoor dat de ervaring erg op ons afgestemd voelde, en geen koekjessnijder-tour. We hebben ook een kaasproeverij gedaan met een ambachtelijke kaasboer die onze ervaring nog rijker heeft gemaakt met haar eigen kennis van de regio en de productie van kleine hoeveelheden kaas. Als je van kaas houdt, MOET je dit aan je reisschema toevoegen. En als je van wijn houdt en een ervaring wilt die je helpt deze fascinerende regio te begrijpen, boek dan een rondleiding bij Amanda's Wine Adventures.

If you are exploring Piedmonte and want the best possible experience you could ever dream of, book Amanda for your visit. She is extremely easy to work with over email/phone calls and was amazing at customizing our visit based on our needs, preferences, and requests. We spent one full day with her which she curated, she drove us around in her vehicle visiting wineries, doing a truffle hunt with the cutest dog, having a truffle lunch, and showing us the beauty and richness of the area. She also planned another full day for us that we drove ourselves without her, and she chose amazing wineries and a fabulous cheesemaker where we had lunch. She also gave us some input about where to stop for great views, interesting towns, and other cultural points of interest. We were also lucky enough to get to taste the wine that she makes with her lovely husband Gianni, and if you have the chance to taste and buy their wines, don't miss out. Overall, our visit with Amanda and the spots she chose for us were a real highlight of our Italy trip and we highly recommend her. She is really thoughtful about what she chooses, and her ability to curate an incredible experience is just amazing. Can't say enough about how fantastic she is. Thank you.

Our experience with Erika at Amanda's Wine adventures was excellent. Erika picked us up on time at our hotel in Monforte and was a great driver through the twisty roads of the Barolo wine country. Our tastings were very good and the pace of the tour was just right. We had a great lunch while on tour featuring local Piedmont dishes. I bought a few bottles while on tour and Amanda's team made sure they were delivered in excellent condition to my home. If you want to spend a relaxing day in Piedmont and taste some great wine with great company, trust Amanda to set you up! Thank you!
