These stainless steel tanks are used in the Prosecco making process in the Veneto area of Valdobbiadene. When you and I look at them, we see industrial vats -- gleaming and delightfully lined in a row, yet mostly functional. After first glance, we move on from them without a second thought, looking forward to a taste or two of the chilled sparkling drink.
A six year old inspects deep inside and discovers untapped potential.
A good find, my friend, a good find indeed.
Thus begins the impromptu concert, as the empty vats are fabulous echo chambers.
And honestly we were just happy they found a source of entertainment for a few minutes during our
Prosecco tasting stop.

I would just like to give a huge thanks to the kind and patient people at Le Bertole. Not only did they open up shop for a tasting after posted working hours, they also tolerated our naughty kiddos with their obnoxious echo performance and sent us home with a gift. (Perhaps they were just happy to see us finally leave.)
I love Italy.
Looks like the kids found their entertainment. At least that kept them busy, right? =) How was the tasting? Would you recommend their particular brand of drink?
ReplyDeleteItaly is great that way! I love how they are so patient with children.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me smile. those vats are huge...echo chambers-your description totally nailed it-I can sense the entire scene perfectly. Parting gifts, huh?
ReplyDeleteToo funny. Great photo ops!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is that I'd probably be doing the same thing if I was there :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer -- It was nice. It's all just a matter of personal preference imho.
ReplyDeleteKelleyn -- true, true :)
Thanks Dorian and Alicia. Nice to meet you here.
Maddy - I was tempted, believe me.
