The best. Yes, really.

Such a great morning learning to make pasta with our wonderful hosts Kate and Claudia. They did so much to ensure that all of us had great fun whilst learning something really useful! The wine flowed along with the many laughs. We all joined in with what was a really inclusive and positive vibe – soulful. The venue was beautiful and historically in tune with our mission to make fresh Bolognese tagliatelli. A massive thumbs-up from me. If you can, try to book with Kate and Claudia, you'll love 'em. And to my five funny fellow Danish students, I miss you already! Rich.

Modena experience

It is a full day of activity with nonstop visits in Modena. Good for those wanting a lot to see. Each stop is pleasant and educational. Would not mind a little slower pace though. The Balsamic vinegar factory with lunch was a favorite. Our driver Michael was delightful and very helpful. He made the day most enjoyable. Of course, the Ferrari factory/museum is a special treat not to be missed. A very enjoyable day.

Giancarlo was our host...

Giancarlo was our host and did an incredible job keeping us on time while allowing us to visit these luxury car places. Upon request, he was able to also arrange a Ferrari 458 driving experience...for me. Dinner was included and delicious. Lamborghini plant tour, Ferrari museum tour, and a Pagoni plant tour.
