We had a great time at Messinaville.
The host being elbow deep in the family business, was so personable and sweet.
Answered everyones questions and took us around the factory so smoothly.
Loved the experience and having it, made us more loyal fans of Messina ( if that's even possible).
Highly recommend!!

This is a tour for gelato lovers and especially those fans of Messina’s. The tour was so interesting and engaging. Our host knew so much, had great stories and fascinating insights into the business of gelato. It was a great tour! The samples of gelato and chocolate were also good
