Soy Spacasso's Wine Tasting Tour Experience At Luna Rossa Restaurant and Wine Shop - A Taste of Italy in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Have you ever wondered if Italy can exist in the Midwest?  The answer YES!  If you ever visit the great  Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it is a MUST that you head a few more miles to the  and visit the little quaint town of Stillwater, Minnesota where there is a whole lot of fun going on! 

This past Labor Day, SOY SPACASSO owner/creator Maria Murphy and husband Matt, embarked on an adventure  and participated in an Italy adventure to share and here is what they found:  Cave Tour with Appetizer and Wine for Two or Four at Luna Rossa and Romantic Gondola Cruises down the St. Croix River. They took advantage of the Groupon deal and they are passing it on: 

"Groupon offers a GREAT deal for the Cave Tour with Appetizer and Wine for Two or Four at Luna Rossa (Up to 46% Off)  $32.00" .  Now you too can experience the Cave Tour. 

Tucked in a cavern the Luna Rossa Restaurant and Wine Shop was an elegant Italian ambiance and  experience.  Not only does the Owner and Chef Raffaele Virgillo make you feel welcomed, he tends the bar to personally serve his customers.

Informative staff members of Luna Rossa takes you on a historic tour of the cavern. At the end of tour the wine tasting begins.  Generous tastes of a red and a white.  You then find yourself a place at the long stone table for at leaset 20 on each side.  You stand across from your partner to share a plate of delicious appetizer plate consisting of 3 different cheeses, prosciutto, ham and vegetables and bruschetta.  Wine, oh YES there is more wine to taste and it kept coming.  They are very generous indeed!!!! 

At the end their wine tasting and appetizer eating extravaganza, everyone heads into the Luna Rossa Wine Shop for YES more wine tasting and purchasing.

6 Bottles of wine have been set for tasting and the beautiful shop manager makes sure you are very well informed about the wines and more tasting begins.

Be sure to stay to purchase a bottle or 3 like Maria and Matt as they found out they get a great discount associated with the tour! 20% off each bottle!

Unfortunately they didn't know about the Gondola, but they took a walk on the St. Croix Boardwalk and saw people enjoying the Gondola Cruises,  Next time they visit Stillwater they are making it a point to experience this piece of Italy.  Romantic Gondola Cruises on the St. Croix.
