Semi Private Deep Wine Chianti en San Gimignano uit Florence

This was a lovely tour! Our guide was David, who was an absolute joy to ride along with and to learn from. The two wineries were perfect - excellent wine tastings paired with a delicious lunch and selection of Tuscan meats & cheeses. The San Gimignano portion of the trip was not for us as it is really just a place to shop. But if you want to do some shopping, there are a large variety of cute shops and you’d likely enjoy it. Either way that is just a short piece of the tour. Highly recommend both this tour and specifically David!

We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tour. The vineyards were knowledgeable and fun! Marco was our driver, he was very nice and made the trip even more enjoyable.

A wonderful day spent in great company , our guide Nedo was amazing so knowledgeable, highly recommend, thank you

We had an amazing time! Claudius was our amazing guide four different days! We saw Cinque Terra, Pisa, Lucca, Greve, II Molino Di Grace Winery, another winery, San Giomano, and Florence. At the end of our ten days we spent four with Claudius and he was a part of our family. Truly appreciate all he did! We have been back in the states for a few days and we still chat and reminisce about our days in Italy. He made us feel special - like celebrities! Love him for that.

Nedo was the best! Loved his passion and engagement. San Gimignano was the best little stop and the winery visits and tasting were so lovely. Highly recommended.

The tour itself was terrific and the wines and food were spectacular.

It was great! The only thing I was a tad disappointed with was that we did not have a lunch outdoors with the view and we never got to walk around with a glass of wine outside. The two wineries were great and wonderful at explaining everything they do. David, our driver was excellent! The food was amazing and the wine was fabulous!

Our tour with Gabriele was fantastic and a perfect way to spend our anniversary! While we booked the semi-private tour, no one else signed up for our tour and we had a private tour. The tour is planned perfectly so you attend Piazzale Michelangelo and San Gimignano in the morning before all the crowds and big tour buses come. Really made such a difference and beautiful impression on our time in these places. The small family wineries with tours and tastings were so personable and fantastic. The lunch was fabulous - a four course tasting menu! We appreciated the pick-up right in front of our hotel (Hotel Davanzati) and the booking discounts with the hotel and in cash payment. The whole team before and during the tour were so responsive within 24 hours any time we had questions; we had a personal situation before the trip where we had to switch back and forth between the two small group tour options (wine tasting and CinqueTerre) and the team was completely understanding and kind throughout. Thank you!

Marco was wonderful! Very informative and great personality!

The first stop on our trip was the Piazzale Michelangelo, which was quite a surprise. If you’re in Florence, it’s a must see/do. The views over the city are outstanding. The drive to the spot is quite beautiful as well. Then, our next stop was the quaint town of San Gimignano. We had about an hour or so there to wander on our own. We loved the town so much we could have stayed there all day. I was glad it was our first stop as the larger tour groups started coming in as we were leaving. So I recommend getting there early. Also, the line for the world famous gelato is also a lot shorter before the crowds start descending on the town. There are amazing views of the vineyards and there are many cute shops and restaurants to visit. Our next stop was the first of two wineries. This one was the larger and, I guess more commercial, of the two. The second one was a family run business. I enjoyed our visit to the first winery more than the other. In fact, the one winery would have sufficed. It’s a lot of wine to drink in a day. The first winery was a combination of food and wine. Both the food and the wines were delicious. I’m not a wine lover mostly because of the way it makes me feel afterward, but as their wine is made without sulfates, you don’t experience the headaches and dehydration as you do with other wines. Of course, at the end of the demonstration and wine tasting, the sales pitch came. It wasn’t too bad though or too much pressure to buy anything. You can have their wines, olive oil, and balsamic vinegars sent to your home address without shipping fees. Their wines were very good, but the balsamic vinegar was really outstanding. Their olive oils were delicious as well. So for some, it might be worth it to purchase some of the items. We weren’t at the second winery very long. A representative from the winery gave an explanation on how the wine is produced and then we had a wine tasting. Overall, it was a great day. If I were to do it again, though, I would try to find a tour that stops at San Gimignano, a winery, and Siena. I would have preferred a visit to Siena over a visit to the smaller winery. Marco, our guide and driver, was great - very kind and helpful. I would definitely book a tour with this group again.
