The Chianti All Day Wine Tour was everything we hoped it would be. We were so lucky to explore the beautiful countryside with David as our tour guide and Sergio as our driver. They made it fun and easy to really get to know the other travelers! Great day! Highly recommend!

This was a great tour! Our driver Alex and guide Jason were so fun. Jason kept everyone entertained on the bus and checked in regularly with us at the wineries. We went to three great wineries and learned a lot about wine making especially for Chianti. I really enjoyed the lunch at the second winery with food that paired well with the wine. We stopped in Greve for a coffee and to explore a little Tuscan town. This tour is a great way to see the Tuscan countryside and sample really good Chianti and olive oil. This was one of the highlights of my vacation.

Amazing experience. One of our favorite in Florence. Really great way to see the Tuscan countryside. You go to 3 really boutique wineries whose wines you can't find in the states.

This was probably one of the highlights of our italy vacation! We thoroughly enjoyed the day of learning, great company, and soaking in the beautiful Tuscan wine region. Our tour guide, Ralph, was entertaining and made the day a great one! The tastings were well done and the countryside was breathtakingly beautiful!

We had a fantastic time with Valentina where we toured 3 wineries across the Chianti region. She is very knowledgeable about the wine, wine growing/making process and the region in general. We were able to learn a lot and try a variety of wines throughout the day. Would definitely recommend again!
