The visit lasting nearly two hours included explanations about the processes involved in making the three wines we tasted, each being accompanied by copious plates of food and water. Family run with everything being home grown. Beautiful setting with no hard sell to purchase their products. Sadly we were flying so were unable to take advsntage of purchasing samples to take home, but at 6.50€ a bottle they are excellent value products.”

Meet your English-speaking guide at Monvino in Monforte d’Alba, follow by car to the woods, and watch a skilled trifulao and trained dogs search for white and black truffles. Finish with cheese topped with black truffle and a tasting of Barolo, Barbaresco, and other Piedmont wines. The hunter’s cash fee and transport are extra.

“We loved the truffle hunting. We did hike through the forest but it wasn't too strenuous or dirty (for those afraid of being outdoors without sidewalks). We are in fairly good shape. The English guide (Franchesa) was very informative and answered all our questions. The gentlemen and his dogs were pretty amazing to watch. It was about one hour or so in the woods, then up to a winery nearby for a wine tasting. It was a beautiful winery but it has one employee (the winemaker) and he was not as informative. You had about an hour at the winery touring and tasting four wines. Be sure to read the…”

With guidance from a master casaro, you’ll shape mozzarella, burrata, and stracciatella, then eat your creations with seasonal dishes and Tuscan wines. Jessie, Jess, Alyssa, Vincenzo, and other instructors have led recent sessions, so the exact host may vary.

“This class felt like stepping into an Italian family’s kitchen, warm, fun, and full of heart. The instructors were so welcoming and knowledgeable. They first showed us how to make the cheese and then we had the opportunity to individually have a hands-on experience. And the cheese… wow. I’ve never tasted mozzarella this fresh and flavorful in my life. Creamy, soft, and slightly salty — it was perfection. I’ll never look at store-bought mozzarella the same way again. Highly recommend this activity!!!”

The two-hour visit ends with four wines paired with local cheeses and cold cuts. Plan on arranging a taxi, since the winery is outside town.

“This wonderful gem sits outside of the hussle and bussle of Orvieto. We used a taxi service, which was very easy. The owner Leon took the time to introduce himself and his lovely family too. Anna was the perfect guide for our tour and tasting. She was very engaging and enthusiastic. The cheeses were so good and we enjoyed the fact that they were all local. We have been on many wine tastings with all sizes of wineries but this one topped them!”
