点评:As a Host & Retreat Leader of 9 guests, I must say choosing Italy Unfiltered was a success. After planning months in advance to make sure I could schedule the date (as their roster fills quickly), choosing a plan that works with my itinerary and clientele, making location selections and more…. The whole day on September 29th, from pick up time at our Volterra, Italy villa to the arrivals at both vineyards was amazing! Massi was the driving captain & Deborah was the informative wine tour leader. The ride in their Sprinter was comfortable and Deborah’s explanations for the Chianti wine growing regions’ success made my guest feel well-informed and tantalized once their vintner’s wine tasting choices touched their palates. The day was so gorgeous as the selected vineyards of Altiero & Terreno were intimate locations for tastings, presentations & dining. At Altiero, my guests learned about their humble beginnings directly from the Vintner, Samuela. And afterward, they learned how to wine taste using their senses checking for color, smell & taste under the instruction of Deborah Larsen.
After our lovely gourmet lunch and wine pairing explanation at Terreno, we had the opportunity to walk the grounds and gardens. We even had enough time to venture off to Panzano to explore Antica macelleria Cecchini (Dario Cecchini’s world-famous butcher shop & restaurant).
In all, the day was a hit! The ladies and I had a memorable time together.
翻译:作为 9 位客人的主人和静修团领队,我必须说选择 Italy Unfiltered 是一次成功。经过几个月的提前计划以确保我可以安排日期(因为他们的名单很快就满了),选择一个适合我的行程和客户的计划,选择地点等等......9 月 29 日的整天,从我们在意大利沃尔泰拉别墅的接送时间到到达两个葡萄园的时间都很棒!Massi 是驾驶队长,Deborah 是知识渊博的葡萄酒之旅领队。乘坐他们的 Sprinter 很舒服,Deborah 对 Chianti 葡萄酒产区成功的解释让我的客人感到知识渊博,一旦他们的酿酒师的葡萄酒品尝选择触动他们的味蕾,他们就会感到心动不已。这一天是如此美好,因为 Altiero 和 Terreno 的选定葡萄园是品尝、演示和用餐的私密场所。在 Altiero,我的客人直接从酿酒师 Samuela 那里了解了他们卑微的起源。之后,在 Deborah Larsen 的指导下,他们学会了如何用感官品尝葡萄酒,检查颜色、气味和味道。
在 Terreno 享用美味的午餐并听完葡萄酒搭配说明后,我们有机会在庭院和花园里散步。我们甚至有足够的时间去 Panzano 探索 Antica macelleria Cecchini(Dario Cecchini 的世界著名肉店和餐厅)。
总之,这一天很成功!女士们和我一起度过了难忘的时光。
