Daarna een bezoekje aan de diertjes en dan aan tafel voor de proeverij. We hebben twee witte, een rose, een rode wijn en twee soorten grappa mogen proeven. Ook kregen we vleeswaren, kaas en brood. Er werd meermaals gevraagd of je een bepaalde wijn nog wat extra wilde proeven. We hebben er 2,5 uur gezeten!
