Reviews
Très belle journée d’automne dans la campagne toscane. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les explications de notre guide Peter. Le mini bus était très comfortable. La météo était au rendez-vous aussi. Nous avons dégusté des vins dans 3 caves (4 vins par cave) ainsi que les huiles d’olive dans les 2 premières caves (2 par exploitation). Les vues sur les collines, sur les vignobles étaient magnifiques. Nous avons rencontré les producteurs passionnés qui ont partagé leur histoire, leur amour du bon vin et de leur région. Nous avons pu découvrir le charmant village de Grève en Chanti. Dommage que l’arrêt n’a duré qu’une demi-heure heure, donc 20 min pour faire le tour de la place principale et survoler les commerces, dont une boucherie appartenant à la même famille depuis 7 générations. Le repas traditionnel de 3 plats était délicieux, joliment présenté mais minimaliste (4 amuse-bouches, une petite portion de lasagnes et 3 petits carrés de gâteau fondant au chocolat). Très belle sortie !
Overall the experience was good. Our guide was great, knowledgable and we went to beautiful places. These are mostly personal preferences that I would’ve liked to know- there would be nothing to eat until almost 3pm. At each stop we had 3-4 very small tastings of wine- for an entire day trip a little more wine would’ve been appreciated. The bus was too tight and uncomfortable for our group. There were words exchanged between people who (understandably!) didn’t want to sit in the back.
Peter, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and added very interesting insight and funny stories. It was a perfect tour and we recommend it highly!
