Bocce Ball and Brewing -- June 1, 2011





Our first summer trip of 2011 was spent in St. Louis and focused on two intriguing aspects of the city: the Italian culture that is celebrated in The Hill neighborhood, and the impact that brewing has had on the area.

Our private docents, Joe and Charlie DeGregorio, met us at The Hill to guide us through the beloved Italian neighborhood. Our first stop was at Mama Toscano’s, one of the few markets in the country that makes ravioli by hand, to see the ancient and meticulous art of pasta making. We then visited a private bocce ball club for a hands-on sporting experience.

After lunch at Mama Campisi's, we experienced an Italian concert at St. Ambrose Church, enjoyed gelato from a family-owned store, then headed to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery for a private beer class followed by a guided tour and a stop in the hospitality room.
