5.00Tour was great. Toni, our guide was very knowledgeable about the region. The vineyards, cellar and villa were all beautiful. The dinner was amazing. Our driver, Fabo also did a great job. It was a good family activity for my husband, me and our 20’year old daughter.
A beautiful and insightful adventure!

5.00We had an amazing time exploring the local vineyards and olive groves on this tour! Our tour guide, Sara, and driver, Sergio, both did a wonderful job showing us around. Sara was fun to learn from and made the wine tasting educational without being pretentious. She was full of interesting information regarding Florence, the vineyards, and the region in general. Sergio maneuvered the roads like a champ and took us on a very fun off-road adventure. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun way to explore Tuscany. Note that the ride does get bumpy, so may not be the best for people with back problems, etc… though the wine may help with that too!
Great wines, olive oil and food

5.00Everything was absolutely wonderful! The tour guide, the wineries, the wine, the food. Everything was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this! We even went on a rainy day, and I still appreciated everything, including the olive oil tasting.
Fabio is Fabulous!

5.00This was an outstanding tour where we visited 2 smaller family owned wineries. Fabio was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the day! We visited Celestino Pecci for Brunello and le Berna for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano! Both are family owned and provided an intimate and truly exceptional wine tasting experience...and the wine was amzing!! In between wineries, we stopped at Osteria Del Leone for a wonderful pasta lunch....and more wine! It was a full 12 hour day but worth totally worth it...as Fabio would say "Mama Mia"!!
I would do it again without hesitation
