Wine Safari - A Tuscan Treasure!

5.00We had a fantastic day with Sara and Dominico! We were excited to go further into Tuscany with this tour as we love learning about and tasting wines and exploring areas that are more off the beaten path. The wine was excellent, the food was superb and the information we gained about Italian wines was so interesting and helpful. Sara was a great resource and the hosts at each winery were engaging and informative. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who would like to explore the Tuscan countryside further and taste wines from the region that aren’t Chianti or Chianti Classico.
Amazing Experience

5.00Be prepared to be amazed! The views were spectacular and the wine was delicious. Our guide Ginevra was so welcoming and very knowledgeable she treated us like family. I must say the bumpy ride she told us we would be on was navigated professionally by Nando. Would recommend this tour to everyone if your in Florence, but Ginevra makes it even better!
Awesome experience must do!

Excellent tour guide it was easily our favorite day!!! The wineries were stunning and we were happy we did the full day. The ride got bumpy at points but we felt safe and Nado drove great.

5.00WOWWW!! Fabio was the best tour guide you could ask for. He wasn't supposed to be the tour guide for my wife and I's group but became the tour guide at last minute after his vespa tour was cancelled due to the rain and WOW how awesome that was. He is absolutely hilarious and entertaining, and extremely extremely knowledgeable about wine and Florence/Tuscany since he is also a sommelier from Florence. At each of the vineyards he explained the process and history, and most importantly how to properly taste the wine. My wife and I have done several wine tours and usually the tour guides are not that knowledgeable and leave it all up to the people working at the vineyards. Not Fabio. He ran the show, taking us around explaining and always adding in helpful information while the employees at the vineyards explained certain things. he kept it real!! He also kept the bus rides super fun, since he was so engaging and funny. Fabio is an absolute legend, highly recommend.
