“A incredible day learning, tasting and appreciating the big three culinary delicacies of the area. Really informative, and easy to understand. The host was fantastic and the vendors all highly skilled. The group was kept quite small, which made the experience more personal as you were easily able to ask questions. It was awesome being able to try products that are not common or easily available at home, such as 72month aged parmigiano reggiano and 12 to 24 year/aged balsamic vinegar D.O.P. Don’t let the price deter you, its incredible value for money as the tastings and lunch is more than generous. Worth every cent, as we went home with…”
