A tasting and a great Tuscan wine experience
The sommelier was excellent and much was learned! Setting in basement with old wine bottles very charming!! I wish they had served cheese and focaccia instead of meager tidbits.

An experience not to be missed!
AMAZING experience with a well traveled knowledgeable sommelier. A lovely lady, we really appreciated her welcoming hospitality & honest approach to her experience with wine. A truly unique experience set in a cellar from the Roman times of the 2nd century! We tasted 1 white & 2 reds. Very generous measure of each wine & greatly appreciated. Just a wonderful welcoming experience, highly recommended! Thank you 🙏🏻

A pleasant wine experience
This ancient wine cellar was fascinating to see in Lucca. We enjoyed our time and tastings and met another couple there who we had an interesting time talking to. We tasted 2 local wines and a Chianti from Tuscany…all nice.

Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the experience did not meet your personal expectations. However, we would like to point out that the experience is described in detail before booking, including the fact that the tasting includes three carefully selected wines. We kindly encourage all guests to read the full description before making a reservation, so they know exactly what they are purchasing. This is not simply a wine tasting, but an exclusive and intimate experience in a unique historic location, where the sommelier is entirely dedicated to the guests for approximately two hours, sharing not only the wines but also the history of the territory, the producers, and the local winemaking traditions. The price reflects the exclusivity of the setting, the personalized service, and the depth of the experience. While we understand that every guest has different expectations, we believe the value offered is fully consistent with what is advertised and delivered. We appreciate your comments and wish you many enjoyable wine experiences in the future.

Perfect location for a wine tasting.
We had a great time. The cellars/caves are an amazing setting for a wine tasting. The wines, the descriptions, the education was all presented in a manner to help wine novices like us understand and learn more about wine. We know what we like, but we learned how to identify things within the wine. Highly recommended!
