We received a stay at Casa Ruffino as a 50th anniversary gift and it was perfect. There are less than ten rooms at the resort and it seems that all the staff knew we were coming- what a pleasant way to start! Arriving mid-morning, we had a vineyard/winery tour and tasting hosted by the heralded Alexander before heading to Ruffino's sister property- Castle Montemasso- for a cooking lesson and lunch. WOW- what a wonderful time. With the guidance of Gianna and Ilya we prepared a great meal and then dined in the castle hall. We drank a nice prosecco while in the kitchen and then, over lunch, Alexander led us thru three more of Ruffino's wines, including a delicious Vin Santo with almond biscuits right out of the oven. Over the next two days we ate like royalty at the gourmet Tre Rane restaurant on site, relaxed, walked around the vineyards and sipped more wine.
