Fantastic experience! - Very nice experience with professional and friendly staff. It was held in a cosy atmosphere, where we could taste 4-5 wines with very tasty food matching to the wines. The staff really knew what they were talking about. Would absolutely recommend.

Great learning experience - Tasted 4 wines and enjoyed a lovely meat/cheese platter. Would’ve been nice to perhaps try one or two more for the price. But the knowledge of the Sommelier was amazing, he went through all the wines in detail and ended up hanging around chatting about different regions and his recommendations for a good hour after the tasting. Overall the experience was still worth it and a highlight of our time in Como.

Highly recommend, we went in September for a birthday treat and revisited on this trip in June - Second visit, just as good as the first. Host was knowledgeable, friendly and good fun. We tried 2 extra bottles along with the other two guests.

Authentic Italian cooking experience - Barbara was an excellent host for this experience. She was very friendly, personable and provided an educational cooking experience. Only the authentic italian cooks know the correct technique to make pasta and tiramisu you will not find in the cook book. Highly recommend! You will not be disappointed.

New wines, new friends, and a great learning experience - We had a great time learning about and tasting some terrific wines from northern Italy from two very knowledgeable hosts. We also met a great family, also there on vacation, so it was a terrific evening.

Drink up! - Delicious tastings of 4 wines (sparkling, rose, white, red) from the region. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Lake Como.

Lovely wines and nice commentary - I enjoyed the wines, the charcuterie board, and the commentary. We didn’t know the other guests and unfortunately they were not terribly pleasant. That had nothing to do with the company, but it did affect our experience.

AN EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE, AND DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE MONEY - Very very very disappointing. We expected so much more. 2 Australians, 2 Americans. The 'host' (indian/italian?) who didn't introduce herself spoke so quickly that we couldn't understand a word she said. We repeatedly asked her to slow down, but she didn't. 4 tiny tastings, would've made no more in total of 1 glass of wine. Bottles were already opened, so pourings for 4 were the dregs at the bottom. After each 'tasting' the host took away any bottle that did contain any more wine and left us so she could chat to her colleagues in the kitchen area. Food consisted of a few tiny cubes of cheese, 2 slices of prociutto, 2 slices of salami, and what looked like crumbled left over bread from previous diners. Our tasting and food, did NOT look like the photos. For $AUD211 for two, it was most definitely not value for money. To add insult, staff cleared away the plates and glasses when we hadn't finished, a sign we had to get out before the end of our booking. This so-called 'experience' lacked professionalism and had no atmosphere. The only thing we enjoyed was the company of the 2 Americans who had also booked. Would love to get our money back. We would NOT recommend.
