- 540matthiasv0 contributionsStarted off bad, but turned out great!Our visit didn't start of great, but still deserves 5 stars! Why? It's hard to find using satnav, so we arrived 15 min late. When we finally found it, the gate was closed. I got on their terrain, only to find out we weren't expected, they didn't get a notification from TripAdvisor apparently. However, in the end we were given a tour, and it was very nice! Our guide was Ricardo, and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the tasting at the end too.Written October 17, 2023
- GrandTour541085296860 contributionsYummy Tour!We really enjoyed the tour- got to try many different kinds of cheese (actually so much that we couldn't even finish all the samples and took some home) and participated in making our own ricotta.

We were roaming the area when we came across this dairy farm producing local traditional cheese and ricotta and being both interested in gastronomy we wanted to visit. Little did we know that we had to do a booking to do so. Therefore we bought some produce on that day and visited the dairy the next day after a booking through email. All the staff there were very welcoming and helpful. The visit was really interesting and informative, and we had ample time to look at the production line of various cheeses and ricotta from start to finish. Our visit ended by tasting four types of cheese and some wine...all at Eu10 each. Highly recommend if visiting the area, especially those interested in gastronomy. We also managed to buy delicious, local cheese at good price to take home directly from their shop. Thumbs up for your kind service and staff.
