We had a great experience in a small group of us and another couple. Georgia was very knowledgeable, personable and friendly, knowing the region very well. The three wine tastings were amazing (loved the Gina rose and the Brunello wines) and the lunch venue and food was outstanding (delicious pasta and wild boar). We have done many wine tours in many countries and this was one of our favorites.
Excellent tour. Highly recommend it. Wine estates were well chosen and wine tasting was well handled. Knowledgeable guide, interactive, assisted where needed and was flexible when required as well.
Mattia was an amazing host for out wine tour of Montalcino. The wineries showed the breadth of the region’s wines and hosted a tremendous lunch. As a former winemaker, Mattia could explain so much, so we learned far more than I expected, while having so much fun!
Our guide Paulo was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The wines we tasted were varied and good. Our hosts at the wineries were gracious.
Mat was a great wine tour guide! His history is deep within the region and he had lots to share! Wonderful all day wine tasting experience! Loved that we could mail back wine at every stop!
Excellent wine tasting experience in Montalcino with an amazing lunch! Our guide Mattia was a former award winning winemaker and had a vast find of knowledge that he shared in a very entertaining and informative manner. Highly recommend!! We shipped a lot of wine back to the USA!
This tour was one of the hilights of our time in Italy. We so enjoyed our day in Montalcino. We visited 3 beautiful wineries and enjoyed lunch while overlooking a beautiful vineyard. Giovanni taught us so much about the history of wine and the Tuscan region. We cannot say enough great things about him as our guide!
Visited 3 fantastic small vineyards and samples their wines. Had a wonderful Tuscan lunch at one of them. Also visited an Abbey and Montalcino. Air conditioner in the van wasn’t too great - that’s the only complaint. Julia was a fantastic guide!
Nikko made the experience exceptional. The last winery was not up to par and should be changed. Their guide was disinterested and conducted an olive oil tasting with bread! And it was bad bread! It was the only place from which we did not make a purchase.
We visited three wineries and all were fantastic. Lunch was great and the stop at the abbey was a nice bonus.
