5.00This was a fantastic tour. Jason our guide was really fun and gave us a lot of information on the ride to the two vineyards that we visited. Not only was the wine great but the food samplings provided at each were delicious! Great way to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside and taste some wonderful wines and foods.
Escape the city!

5.00This Small-Group Wine Tasting Experience in the Tuscan countryside was the perfect escape from the city—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. We spent the day savoring delicious wines and olive oils while learning about the region’s traditions, all surrounded by the rolling hills and beauty of the Florentine countryside. The atmosphere was relaxed, intimate, and truly unforgettable.
So fun!

5.00It was an excellent tour! The drive out to the locations was around an hour, but taking in the views of the countryside along the way was a wonderful part of the experience. The vineyards were both beautiful, and the hosts were friendly and knowledgeable. All of the wines, oils, meats, and cheeses were wonderful of course! Would absolutely recommend for anyone in Florence!
Great trip!!

3.00We booked this tour hoping for a relaxed afternoon of Chianti scenery, wine education, and a bit of regional history. Overall it was a good half-day trip, but the experience had a few highs and lows worth noting for future travelers. Meeting point and logistics The meeting spot could be described far more clearly. It is essentially a bus stop about a ten minute walk from the main Florence train station. Google Maps routed us in an odd, roundabout way before we eventually found it. Clearer directions from the tour operator would help. The bus itself was clean, comfortable, and seats around twenty five people. Once onboard, the ride into the countryside was smooth and scenic. Tour guide Our guide, Jason, leaned heavily toward creating a party atmosphere rather than providing information about Florence, Chianti, or the landscape we were driving through. He opened with a comedy routine that did not land well, lightly embarrassed a few guests, and filled time with a game involving sound effects over the microphone. If you are hoping for a culturally focused or educational tour, this style may not be a fit. I would have preferred less stand up comedy and more insight into Italian history, wine making, and the scenery passing by. First vineyard: Fattoria Poggio Capponi The first stop was terrific. Fattoria Poggio Capponi is a small family owned estate with beautiful views and a warm, welcoming feel. They also rent rooms during the summer, and the property has real charm. The guide there was excellent. She gave a short but interesting tour of the wine cellar, aging room, and their remarkable ancient Roman well that drops about thirty meters. Their reasoning for enclosing it indoors for safety made the history even more memorable. The wine here was outstanding. The chardonnay was a surprise favorite, and their Chianti Sangiovese based reds and blends were excellent. Since their wine is not widely distributed outside the region, I purchased a case. Shipping to the United States was fast and simple, handled in just a couple minutes. Second vineyard The second vineyard, located in the Lungagnana area about fifteen minutes farther out, was larger and more commercial. The staff were friendly, and the appetizers of bread, olive oil, and meats were good. They spent a significant amount of time discussing the estate’s history and promoting their wines and oils. Unfortunately we arrived after sunset, so we did not get the benefit of the countryside views. The wine at this stop was not to my taste, especially compared to the excellent selections at the first vineyard. Overall The first vineyard was by far the highlight of the trip. I wish we had enjoyed a bit more daylight during the countryside portion, and I would have preferred more actual commentary about Italy rather than comedy. Still, for the price, this was a worthwhile half-day outing and I am glad we went. With a clearer meeting point and a more informative guiding style, this could easily be an outstanding experience.
Really enjoyed the...

5.00We had SO MUCH FUN! Jason and Sergio were amazing, we couldn't stop laughing! Fine wine tasting in two Chianti wineries with local pecorino cheese, bread; olive oil and balsamic vinegar tastings as well. The landscape was charming, especially at Montecchio. We were the only two italians on the bus among 20 americans but Jason was a fantastic guide and group leader: we never felt out of place and we truly had an AMAZING time!
