We booked this tour last minute and it was a highlight of our trip to Florence. Escape the crowds and heat and book this tour, you won’t regret it. The bus was comfortable with great air conditioning with beautiful scenery along the way. We visited two lovely wineries, the wine portions were generous and the meats and cheeses were amazing. Terrific olive oil selection at the first vineyard. We had a fun group and we met some wonderful people. Our guide, Jason, was energetic and made the trip extra special. Singing karaoke on the way back to Florence was so much fun. Highly recommend!
Great time. Guide was very informative and the wineries were fun. The best one is saved for last so I would recommend holding off on making any purchases if you decide to do so until then.
A great experience seeing and learning about Tuscany while enjoying an afternoon at two beautiful wineries.
Wonderful escape from the city and enjoy the vistas of the countryside, vineyards and olive groves! Our guide, Matteo, was full of information about the vineyards and the area. Ale, our driver, made us feel safe on the ride. It was a FUN day especially meeting new people and enjoying fine wines and olive oils together!
Fantastic wine-tasting experience. By the time it was over, we were one big happy family. Good wine, gracious hosts!
Was a great tour with comfortable bus ride into the Tuscany region just outside Florence. Clear directions to meet tour guide. Toured and then sampled 4 wines at each vineyard with cheese and bread. They were 2 different types of Chianti, loved the 1st vineyards!
The experience was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend it to all.
From start to finish, this was a smooth, seamless experience. Our guide Daniele and our driver Francesco were both eminently knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming. Both wineries we visited were friendly and enjoyable. The tastings were great, and we were given the opportunity to ship some back home. I learned a lot about Chianti and about the nomenclature of wines from this region.
Our guide, Jason, was excellent. He made the experience fun and enjoyable. The two vin yards were quite different. The hosts were informative and helpful, the wines were excellent and the food was delicious. The oils were delicious too. We bought oils and honey as gifts from the first bin yard and they were a lot more expensive then we had realised.
Kudos to David and Vincenzo for the professional and worth-trying experience 😊
