Luca made our groups whole day in the Valtellina Valley an absolute joy! He shared so many interesting stories and insights about the areas we visited and the people who live there. It felt like we got to experience some behind-the-scenes moments that most visitors wouldn’t get to see. Luca was engaging, open, and even shared parts of his own life, which made the tour feel really personal. He never rushed us and let us spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. A truly personable guide and a fantastic host — highly recommend!
Great guide and awesome experience. Highly recommended to everyone. The private wine tour through the Italian Alps was exceptional—stunning views, delightful wines, and insightful commentary.
Our whole day was wonderful; Luca has crafted a wonderful itinerary to explore some great vineyards in Northern Italy. We visited a local shop and 2 vineyards, all great examples of local wine. Both vineyards are family owned and operated, our tours were given by one of the owners. We learned so much about a new (to us!) variety of wine from this region (Valtellina). Luca is a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable about the region (he’s a local!). He also expertly manages the tour process, there was an issue with train service on the day of our tour which could have impacted our ability to get to the Valtellina area but he pivoted quickly and was able to even improve the day with a quick sightseeing stop in a small town on Lake Como (we had to transit out of Milan by private bus instead of train). 10/10 would recommend to family & friends and would book another excursion with the Luca From Italy group!
Luca picked up the four of us at our hotel in Milan. Clean and comfortable vehicle. He’s articulate in English and well traveled so easy to converse with. Took us first to a small, family owned winery. Had a private tasting with snacks and a tour of their property. Wines were excellent and visit was personal and enjoyable. He next drove us up one of the nearby mountains for lunch at a small family owned restaurant. Views were incredible and Stefano, the owner, treated us like royalty. We were in Europe two weeks and this lunch was certainly one of the highlights of the trip. Could have spent the whole day there. Luca is obviously well connected in this valley north of Milan and is someone we would thoroughly trust to plan a day trip with.
Amazing experience and tour with Luca! The experience is incredible and you get to know the rich history of each of the families and vineyards. The wine and views are unforgettable! Luca provided incredible background on the region (He lives down the road from the vineyards) and would highly recommend a tour with him.
A great tour with Luca an amiable, knowledgeable guide. Not just a tasting but I got to know the people that make the wine.
