Young grapes on the vine.
But after a late start, we stopped for gelatto in a lovely little town.
At the school for wine.
Before sampling any wine we needed to have lunch first. Funny how when you are looking for places to taste Prosecco you see all kinds of restaurants, and when you are looking for restaurants you only see places to taste Prosecco. No matter. We found a 1 star Michelin restaurant and ate there. Quite good food and fit the bill. Not nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. Though Mary Ann and Linda re really quite good at Italian now, this lady waiting on us had some kind of lisp, so she got one of the guests to translated for her.
First Prosecco stop was at one of the bigger wineries and very straight forward. Owner was not there so one of the workers helped us with the tasting. Somewhat disappointing as we were comparing it to the tastings we had done in France.
The next stop was at a small family run winery and it did not disappoint us. The owner got his wife to take us to the tasting room, and she was ever so good at explaining how Prosecco was made and the the different classifications of the wine. I think we spent 45 minutes taking, all in Italian, and sampling the three croues they produced. This was at the Riva Grande Winery. They don't export to the States, but if you are ever in the area. .......
On the ride home we made a couple of stops for cheese. One was at the cheese COOP I tried to walk to a day ago, and the other was at a supermarket where we also stocked up on some other items we needed for the apartment. We ate at home from things we had bought before and went to bed early. The owners dog Bosco was also there to help us eat.
