Asti & Lake Como

We stopped in Asti for a tour and wine tasting at the Bersano Winery.

The next day, we continued by train to Lake Como in the northern part of Italy (where George Clooney has a villa). We didn't see his villa, but we saw some really nice houses along the lake.

We took a ferry across the lake to Bellagio where we spent an afternoon eating and window shopping.

That evening we took the funicular to the village of Brunate, 720 meters above the lake. It was really cold and quiet at the top. We shared an awesome dinner with our travel companions, Bill, Adele and Vince where we convinced ourselves that the village was haunted.
