Dee was amazing! He knew his wines and gave wonderful tips on food pairings. Great group of travelers we spent the day with in beautiful Tuscany.
We had a fantastic experience with Grape Tours for our Tuscan wine tour. We did the Wine Time tour, which lasted about 5.5 hours and took us to two different wineries. Both were lovely properties with excellent wine, with the proprietors giving tours and walking us through the tasting. Lunch was served at the second winery and was delicious, Tuscan focused food in an absolutely beautiful setting. As seems to be the case across Tuscany, the sample pours from the wineries are pretty much full glasses - no skimping here! The real highlight of this tour though was our guide, Dáire. He was just wonderful - so kind and enthusiastic and most of all, extremely knowledgeable about wine production and the Italian wine industry. We learned a lot on this tour thanks to him, despite having been to many wineries before. He was keen to ensure all 7 of us were having a great time, and ensured pictures were taken which were later shared with us. If you're looking for a wine tour out of Florence, look no further - Grape Tours is your answer. And hopefully you get D as your guide!
Thank you so much, Dan! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Wine Time tour and that both wineries, the lunch, and of course the generous Tuscan pours made such for a gret time! A special thank you for your kind words about Dáire—we'll be sure to share them with him. We hope to welcome you back to Tuscany for another grape adventure soon! 🍷
One of the best guided tours we have ever been on, regardless of the type of tour. From the moment we were greeted until the moment we were dropped off, we felt welcomed, cared for, and fully immersed in the culture, history, and traditions of Tuscany and Italian winemaking. A special shoutout to Luca. If you have the opportunity to choose your guide, make sure it is him. He is highly respected within the wine industry, well known by the vineyard owners, and brings an incredible combination of knowledge, energy, humor, and professionalism. He was never dull, always inclusive, and truly a man of many talents. What made this tour so special was Luca’s ability to bring people together. We started the day as strangers and ended it hugging each other goodbye. Throughout the entire experience, he took the time to build rapport with everyone, educate us on the winemaking process, explain the history of the region, and teach us how to properly taste and appreciate wine. We left with a much deeper understanding of not only how wine is made, but also the passion, care, and dedication that goes into every bottle. The vineyards we visited were absolutely beautiful, and the owners and staff were just as welcoming and attentive as Luca. They genuinely seemed grateful that we were there, and you could feel the pride, love, and appreciation they have for both their craft and the Tuscan countryside. Lunch was delicious and clearly prepared with care. Every part of the meal reflected the effort, time, and attention that went into creating it, and it was the perfect complement to the wines we enjoyed throughout the day. Transportation was excellent as well. The van was spacious, comfortable, air conditioned, and allowed everyone to easily hear Luca throughout the drive. As someone who gets car sick, I was pleasantly surprised that I had no issues at all, even on the winding roads through the hills. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Florence, whether you are looking to explore the Tuscan countryside, learn about wine, or simply enjoy an unforgettable day outside the city. We cannot thank Luca, the Grape Tours team, and the vineyard owners and staff enough for welcoming us into their homes and businesses with such open arms. We enjoyed the experience so much that we purchased 12 bottles of wine, six from each vineyard, as well as olive oil to be shipped home. Not only are we excited to enjoy them when we return, but it also felt great supporting local businesses and the people who make Tuscany such a special place. Thank you again to Luca, the entire Grape Tours team, and the vineyard owners and staff for an incredible experience. We arrived as visitors and left feeling like friends.
Thank you so much, Luke, for this incredibly thoughtful review. We're truly honored to hear that this was one of the best guided tours you've ever experienced. Luca will be delighted to read your kind words! Creating meaningful connections between guests, guides, and local producers is exactly what we strive for, and we're so happy you left feeling like friends. Enjoy the wines and olive oil when they arrive home, and we hope to welcome you back to Tuscany someday! 🍷🌿
I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Grape Tours! I booked this tour as a solo traveler, and from the very first moment, I felt so well taken care of and genuinely included in the group. The day was filled with amazing wine, delicious food, and great company. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wine, making the whole experience both educational and highly enjoyable. If you are thinking about booking this tour, just do it. Whether you are traveling with someone or completely on your own. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much Benedicte for your wonderful review! We're especially happy to hear that you felt welcomed and included as a solo traveler.

We spent a day during our Florence vacation on a fabulous tour with Rebecca. We visited two, family owned, vineyards and had outstanding experiences at both. We tasted several varieties of wine and on our second stop we had an outstanding, farm to table lunch. Rebecca was personable and knowledgable and made the day a special one. Our family highly recommends this experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with your family and sharing a little piece of Tuscany with you. Thank you for the recommendation — it means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back to Tuscany again someday!
Luca was an incredible tour guide and very informative. We enjoyed the tour very much and would recommend to anyone looking to explore the Tuscan countryside and wineries!
Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed exploring the Tuscan countryside and wineries with Luca. He’ll be thrilled to know you appreciated his knowledge and guidance throughout the day. We hope to welcome you back in Tuscany one day!
We had a great time on our Wine Time Grape Tour! Daniel was an incredible guide - funny, and knowledgeable. The small group was the perfect size. Both wineries were beautiful and the wine was delicious. Highly recommend and can’t wait to try another tour.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted you enjoyed the Wine Time tour and that Daniel helped make the day so much fun. We look forward to welcoming you back for another Tuscan adventure soon. 🍷😊
Everything exceeded our expectations. The wineries were amazing!! The wine, olive oil, the food, our hosts, our driver were fantastic.
