Taste of Life Tours

My name is Robert Gherardi, and my home town is the famous Margaret River wine region of Western Australia. When I am not creating wine under my label Mr Barval Fine Wines you will find me and my family in the spectacular Barolo Region of Northern Italy. After years of working as a winemaker for some of the leading producers in both Australia and Italy I have combined my love, passion and interest

s to make wine in Australia for 6 months of the year and take guided food and wine focused tours in Northern Italy for 6 months. I

My family’s origins lie in the Valtellina region of Lombardy, directly north of Milan. Along with my wife Kellie and two daughters, Lilly and Daniella we love living and working in the Barolo zone and experiencing the amazing gastronomic offerings of this famous region. We want to show you some of the true delicacies and greatest producers from this corner of Italy, as well as some of the hidden gems which we have come across during our time spent there. Come on a tour of Italy with us. You won’t be disappointed.
