Traveler reviews
wineries in Tuscany
Daniele and Mike sure super friendly, the wineries were so beautiful with great wines. We had an amazing time.
Book this tour!
This was an AMAZING tour with the BEST guide, Jason and the best driver! SO much fun. Our favorite tour while we were in Italy.
Book with Alessia!!!
Alessia & Matteo were great tour guides! Loved this excursion. Wine was amazing & both vineyards we went to were beautiful & super knowledgeable. Also loved that our transportation actually had AC!! Would book again!
Glad we had this experience, but…
Both stops had beautiful grounds, nice wine and hosts. We enjoyed the wine very much at both. Disappointed that the 1st stop only served small stale samples of bread to taste their olive oil. The 2nd stop was the more superior experience and they did serve a small plate with a few pieces of cheese, meat and bread. Definitely not enough food for the amount of time/time of day and with wine sampling. Your guide was nice, but he did not stop talking. Our group was so nice. I wish he allowed more time to engage the group/learn what the group was hoping to get from the experience- allow the group to socialize more on the ride to the vineyards. Also, the bam was hot - especially silly for the people in the back.
A worthwhile experience
This was so much fun! The views alone made the trip worthwhile. I was fascinated by the Tuscan landscape and land use, especially how deeply they are connected to the region’s culture and history. It was incredibly informative. The tastings at both locations were superb. A special thank you to the knowledgeable and welcoming staff and our guide Alessia, as well as our bus driver Matteo, who were all absolutely wonderful.
