Absolutely amazing experience with Chef Jannino and his other chef (sorry forgot his name!) The whole experience was informative from start to finish, got the kids involved in the gelato making experience and everything was delicious! We met some others from around the globe, cheered to some lovely wine, ate great food and are so happy with our experience
