Vino e Verona!

So after touring the city of Verona on Sunday we took a guided tour of a wine cellar complete with a wine tasting. We took a bus through Verona to Azienda Agricola Gamba a local vineyard and producer of red wine.


We started with a wine tasting. We tried two red table wines and a sweet dessert wine. The two table wines were paired with cheese and the dessert wine was paired with a biscuit that the old man serving it kept insisting I eat more of it. No complaints though because it was delicious!



This is where we had our wine tasting! After our tasting and short lesson on pairing food and wine. We took a tour of the vineyard and wine cellar. He's some pictures of us enjoying the vineyard and sneaking some grapes we definitely shouldn't have been eating!






After checking out all the grapes and learning about the wine making process we headed down to the wine cellar!


We ended the day with a picture of all the URI kids by the grape vines before we boarded the bus and headed back to Florence!



The perfect end to the perfect weekend of Venice, Verona, and vino!
