“Barry showed us some of the out-of-the-way places in Tuscany and we just fell in love with it. The food and wines were fantastic too. The best part, however, was getting to know Barry's friends in the village of San Quirico D'Orcia. Their hospitality amazed us.”- Jarrod Molloy, ex AFL player, Kew, Vic
