We spent a great morning eating, drinking and learning a lot about Tenuta Casanova. Silvano gave us a tour and an enology lesson that was great. Silvano is very enthusiastic about his profession. We have never been to a winery where we enjoyed the atmosphere and the wine and food like this. The wines were pared with a delicious meal prepared by Silvano's wife perfectly. Living in California we go to the wineries up North but nothing compared to our visit. The aged balsamic vinegar is fabulous. It is wonderful over ice cream! The truffle oil over scrambled eggs is delicious. We ordered and just received a shipment that we placed and can't wait to start drinking it!!! I am sold on a new winery to add to my collection

If you run out of ideas on what to do after you have had enough wine, olive oil, culture and churches, and if your children or partner are starting to nag or get slightly bored , then this is what you want to do - “let some arrows fly” as the archer would say.

A perfect past time that can fill morning or late afternoon hours and is the thing to do for couples, small groups or families (children as of 7 years). Fabian will teach you the technics and tricks and if you are ready and feel like it will accompany you into the range for some “real shooting” . Plan 2 hours for this activity.
