Our guide was great and the whole experience was really enjoyable. We did not care for the 1st winery tasting. The wine was fine but the building we were in had black mold all over the walls. The 2nd winery was great. The food was delicious, and the winery host was very fun and energetic. The only thing we wished we could have done a little more of was walk the grounds because it’s so pretty there. Overall a really nice tour.
If you love wine and have longed to sip it under the Tuscan sun, this is for you! It’s kind of long, a full seven hours, so be prepared to spend an entire day. We began at our meeting point and boarded a lovely coach bus. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us info the whole way up to Chianti. At the 1st winery, we met with a guide who shows us how the wine was made the took us to the tasting room where he had prepared lovely snack of crostinis, cheese and bruschetta to pair with the three wines we tasted. After that we headed to the beautiful quaint town of Greve in Chianti where we explored the shops and an amazing salumeria and cheese cellar. Then it was on to the 3rd stop which was the 2nd winery. We got a brief history of the town and winery and then were led to a beautifully set long table among the grape vines under bistro lights where we were served a 3 course meal and tasted FIVE wines. The server was not shy about refills also as we enjoyed our dinner. As the sun set, we retired to the indoor part of the winery where we tasted a dessert wine and nibbled on our biscotti before heading back down the mountain to Florence. The only bad thing I can say is that the meeting point area was a little sketch by a bus station and there were no taxis when we got back around 10:00pm so I suggest a rideshare back to your hotel. We walked back to our hotel. It wasn’t terrible, but not the best. Happy travels!!
This was a great wine experience. Theresa did a fantastic job entertaining the group (in both English and Spanish) and the wineries did not disappoint. We really loved the intimacy and history given at the first location. The dinner at the second winery was sooooooo good I thought I would explode. Turns out I'm obsessed with truffle oil 🤤 The only part I could have done without is the small town stopover between tastings
Fantastic afternoon / Evening, we called in At the first where we had a little tour of where they made the wine, then we sat and had a taste of 3 lovely wines and amazing Olive Oil, the lady showing us round tought us a lot about wine and how to make it, which was very good. We then went on to look round a cute little village for 45 minutes and then onto the final reserve where we sat next to the vines and had a lovely 2 course meal and a try of 6 wines which were amazing. The other people on the tour were great, we had such a laugh whilst having the food, it was great getting to know them. All in all, it was very well run, we had great food, even better wine and got to meet some great people. Thanks!
Cecilia and Jean Luca gave us a great tour of a winery and vineyard dinner. The tour was well planned and great for an afternoon and evening in Tuscany.
this was a delightful trip into wine country. It was a fun small group and the wineries that we visited were top-notch
The experience was excellent and good value money. The first visit the guide was outstanding I believe her name was Jackie from memory, very invested and articulate during the tour we could have listened to her for hours! The wine also was very good along with the oil and balsamic. She was extremely knowledgeable from everything from the grape, the barrel production & flavours to the aging & bottling. The second vineyard was also a really good experience, not quite as in depth on the tour as the first but ample choice of wines to taste and the food was great. Highly recommend this tour for a good insight into Chianti and tasting opportunities as well as the overall experience
Gennaro did such an incredible job!! My fiancé and I were sadly were only in Florence for 2 nights, so this trip was the perfect amount of time! The wine was incredible and everyone we met was so kind! We were even lucky enough to stop and take some photos during golden hour over Tuscany! 😍
We had a wonderful time. The wine was really good & the views were so beautiful. In addition to the 2 wineries we made a stop at an incredible castle at sunset where we got amazing pictures. There was also some cute shops to buy souvenirs. The dinner was delicious & everyone was so friendly. The experience exceeded my expectations!
I had a wonderful half-day experience as a solo traveller, learning about and tasting wines in the Chianti region and beyond, as well as tasting olive oil and balsamic, with views to match. It was great to have such a friendly, accommodating and informative guide, we had a lovely group and I am going home with some lovely memories.
