Gorgeous trip visiting two beaitil vineyards. The wine is delicious and the staff are so friendly! Would highly recommend 😊
This was a great winery experience. We went to 2 wineries & tasted several wines at each. They were knowledgeable about the wines & taught us about them in a way we could understand. It would have been nice to spend a little more time at the wineries, maybe 15 minutes more at each winery to enjoy other wines & buy wine.
Super fun met lots of people and learned! Now I know what food you pair with win makes the taste difference! Would recommend! Whish we knew the nus ride was gonna be so loopy
This was my first winery tour and it was great! The guides were very informative and knowledgeable. We learned about the process of making wine and what wines pair best with meats, cheeses and fruit. We were also shown how to taste wines. I highly recommend this tour! You can also have wine shipped from here!!
Great tour.....the employees of each winery was so pleasant and fill of information. The ride on the bus was comfortable. I would highly recommend this tour.
Excellent service from Ciao Florence, the tour was very good and Lorenza is very attentive and pleasant.
Good setup. Little vineyard first was a good option. Nice to have two different kinds of presentations.
Alex and Forese were amazing, full of information and it was so much fun! Two different wine tastings at two different vineyards, we were able to order wine to ship back home to the US. We also bought a couple bottles to enjoy here in Italy at our hotel. Amazing experience and I love that Alex took the time to get to know us.
If you are looking for a party bus - this is your tour - if you are looking for a true wine tasting experience, look somewhere else. The tour takes you on a large bus (read loud and very full) for 45 minutes to the countryside. The tour guide had ample time to share interesting facts or information about the wine country and the histroy of wine in Italy, but little to none was shared. The vineyards we visted were so-so and gave some pretty views but not a lot was explained about the origins of the wine or how to do a tasting. There was also no tour of the cellars or vineyards of any sort. If you are looking for a party bus (booze cruise feel, loud with lots of young people) this is the tour for you. If you want something more refined and where you can truly enjoy the experience I would suggest looking elsewhere.
Well planned. Interesting and not rushed. But this app requiring a term thesis paper for a coment is a bit annoying. @#$%&÷×+<> Are we good?
