5.00Very pleasant experience in the Euganean Hills. Well organized tour, quiet rhythms and never touristy. Arquà Petrarca is a beautiful village and the broth of jujubes was a nice discovery. Also interesting is the visit to the mill with olive oil tasting. Excellent stop in the cellar by Loreggian Wines: 5 wines tasted calmly accompanied by cold cuts, local cheeses and good bread. Perfect closure to Villa Barbarigo and the Valsanzibio labyrinth. You can see that it is a tour made with passion. Also recommended for those who are from Veneto and think they already know the area.
