A taste of Varenna

Nadia was an excellent tour guide. As a local of Varenna, she was super informative and well versed in the history of the region. The food & wine tasting was the highlight for us. It was a great tour. Very relaxed. Nadia was friendly and relaxed. We also loved that she went the extra mile and dressed in her local traditional costume.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the food and wine tasting was a highlight for you. It was a pleasure to share the history, traditions, and stories of my hometown, Varenna, and I'm glad you appreciated the relaxed pace and atmosphere of the experience. I’m especially touched that you noticed my traditional local costume. Wearing it is my way of celebrating and sharing a part of our local heritage with visitors. Thank you again for joining me, and I hope to welcome you back to Lake Como someday for more wonderful memories together! Warm regards, Nadia 😊

Great introduction to Varenna with food & wine!!!

Great introduction to Varenna. We took this tour on our first day and was so glad we did. Nadia was excellent. She really wants you to have a wonderful experience in her city. She knew we had a boat tour an hour after the food tour. She extended our tour by 45 minutes and took us right to the boat pier.

It was my pleasure to adjust the schedule so you could comfortably make your boat tour, and I'm glad everything worked out perfectly. I hope the rest of your stay on Lake Como was just as enjoyable.

Experience Varenna through the eyes of a local.

Nadia is authentically from Varenna. It was wonderful walking the streets with her as she greeted friends and neighbors. The food, the wine, the scenery, the history, the people, and her personal stories were second to none! Every scenic corner took our breath away!
