We all had such a good time, the owner popped a champagne bottle and gave all of the customers a glass.

We had such an amazing experience at this winery despite not planning ahead. I didn't realize that…read moremost wineries in Tuscany cater to tour busses and reservations rather than operating on drop-in visitors like those we've been to in NZ and the states. We looked up their hours online and saw they opened bright and early. Great, we thought, we needed to be out of Rome early so let's have wine for breakfast. We arrived and drove into the picture-perfect quintessential Tuscan winery. Olive trees line the gravel road leading to the vineyard and tasting room. We were immediately greeted by feline guardians who purred and approached us for petting. The owner of this family-owned winery greeted us perplexed on what we were doing there at 10 am. Despite catching him unaware and preparing for a big tour group later in the day, he was incredibly welcoming and hospitable! He took time to show us the barrel room, tasting room, and give us the general tour. He apologized for needing to run into town to get ingredients for the lunch he was hosting and set us up with a half a bottle of wine and snacks where we could pet the cats and enjoy the morning on our own. It was beyond generous and a truly incredible experience to get to enjoy the quiet morning petting cats and sipping wine and listening to the happy voices of his child waking up in the apartment upstairs. It was really magical. I can only imagine the type of host he is when he's prepared for you! Definitely don't miss this place on your visit to Tuscany.

Second, the main tasting building is absolutely lovely - all glass (for those aforementioned views) and a perfect mix of modern and traditional. Finally, the WINE! Not only was their wine absolutely delicious, but it was paired with some excellent bread, olive oil, and charcuterie to complete our tasting experience. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and it was a treat to learn about the history of these great winemakers. We loved everything so much we immediately bought bottles to take home for dinner and shipped a crate home, too. One of our favorite afternoons of our entire trip to Tuscany.

We did the Italian wines and cheese pairings class (a group class of about 10 people) led by Hande, the sommelier. She was incredible!! Her knowledge was so impressive, but she imparted it in such a fun and conversational way that it was extremely interesting and never pretentious. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it. It really made us more interested and confident in our wine selections for the remainder of our trip. You could have as many pours as you liked and the wines were very good quality and a broad spectrum. She gives you a map of the Italian wine and grape regions and a listing of all that you taste. Also, ADD THE CHEESE TASTING! It was the best cheese we had on the entire trip. I have never had fresher mozzarella and ricotta. I think we had about 7 different cheeses in all as well as delicious bread and meats. Again, we could eat as much as we wanted, and trust me, we wanted a lot! She wasn't looking at the clock at all, we sat and ate and drank like we were among old friends. It was such a special night. A must do while in Rome!

If you know Italians, you know they take their food quality seriously. This is where Ricardo and Podere Vecciano become a memorable part to our time in Rome. The store had a decent variety or products, prices were fair, but the service was fantastic. I was purchasing gifts for 8 people. When I asked Ricardo for some help learning about purchase options he gave me more than the basics about the products, he provided his opinion on what he felt the better choice for my gift was and it wasn't tied to the price of the options. Ricardo was fantastic in helping me, but it was the sharing of himself that made this visit memorable. Not only do I get to take back the all the goodies we got, but I get to take back the warm experience and a personal story (and even a picture with Ricardo). Ricardo not only elevated the shopping experience, but our entire experience of Rome was more positive from our interaction. We even made a second trip to the store before our trip was done. Another great part of this experience is the fact that when I give these gifts....the gift comes with a back story courtesy of Ricardo. I can't wait to give these gifts and share my story about Ricardo.
