Weinprobe in kleiner Gruppe in der toskanischen Landschaft

We have experienced wineries in US and Spain. Normally, trip includes a tour of winery, both inside and outside; some education about wine making, tasting, pairings etc; and of course tasting of wines. This tour was all about drinking wine. First winery included minimal tour and then we just tasted wines. No cheeses, fruits or meats. Just dried bread. Second winery had no tour at all, not inside, not outside. No equipment, barrels, etc. There was a table with open wines. One of guests wanted to pour little bit more wine and host just snapped at him. She was carrying on and on, was visibly upset and couldn’t contain herself. It just felt that they are looking at guests as a cattle. At $90 per person she should be the one offering more wine to guests instead of making a scene that was upsetting to watch. Also, if we wanted just to try wines without a tour or educational component we could just go to a bar. Would expect more from a winery tour in Tuscany.

We enjoyed our wine tasting experience in Tuscany. We were the only group at both of the wineries that we went to so it felt intimate and relaxed. The bus was clean and our tour guide was informative.

Leonardo, our guide, was exceptional. And the places we went were what we envisioned and so much more. I recommend anyone looking for a wine country experience in Tuscany to do this one. Thanks Leonardo.........

This was the best excursion we selected the whole trip, all because of Leo the driver, singer/guitar player extraordinaire. He was personable, informative and funny.

fantastic day, well organised and very generous Food and wine servings from Both Wineries visited. Guide and Driver were also great.

The tour was very comfortable and accommodating. The new van/bus was air conditioned and clean. The staff friendly and the wineries were wonderful! Great experience!

I scheduled this trip for myself and three college age children so we would have a chance to see the countryside and get away from the crowds in Florence for a bit. This trip definitely accomplished that, and we were able to see some beautiful scenery and enjoy the picturesque vineyards. We enjoyed the wine tasting and wine education as well, although it did feel more like a package tour at that level.

We hoped to experience the Tuscan countryside, and this is exactly what was provided! Air conditioned transportation on a HOT day, driver gave information on the ride there about Florence and Tuscany, and the taste testing/tour was awesome and provided some snacks, too. We were used to getting tiny pours at testings back home - but got half glass pours here!

We had a great time on the Wine Tour of Tuscany. The vineyards are very beautiful with great wine and very generous pours. Met wonderful people.

My husband and I truly enjoyed the whole experience from the guide and the wonderful wine and food that was provided!

My wife and I had an amazing time at the two wineries included on this tour. Both wineries had beautiful properties, excellent wine, and generous pours. We loved our tour group as well and actually became friends with the two nice girls we shared a table with at the first winery. Overall, the tour went by in a flash because we were having so much fun, so we highly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys wine, gorgeous landscapes, and good company!

Really enjoyed this informative and fun half day wine tour to learn more about the Tuscan region. Both vineyards we visited were amazing and true Tuscan beauties. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to do something off the beaten path in Florence!

We had so much fun on this wine trip. You truly get your money's worth and both stops were great. It's an appropriate amount of time and lots of fun.

This was a great tour of two fantastic wineries. We traveled in a very comfortable air conditioned van with 13 other people up into the Chianti Classico region. The people at both wineries were very informative about how they made their wines and olive oil, and about the region.

Travelled with my husband and 3 young adult kids (23,22,18). Drinking age in Italy is 18, therefore we all got to enjoy the wine. We all thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The wine and cheese was excellent. Visited 2 difference wineries. The countryside was beautiful and the wineries welcoming and informative.

We had Daniele and Andrea as our guides and they were very kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about Florence! The sites had awesome views and good facts about Tuscan wine.

This trip was excellent once we got there. The Wineries were beautiful and glad we did two. The second one was really in depth and the food was excellent and plentiful. The only thing that could perhaps be improved is the organization at the bus stop before we left. There are a lot of different groups that were meeting and taking buses and it was completely unclear where we were supposed to go and signage was not visible.

We absolutely loved the tour! First of all the directions to get to the bus were great, perfect for someone who's never been to Florence before. Our tour guide Daniel (Daniela) was perfect, gave us the history of the region for the entire drive to the first vineyard. Both wineries were great, the first one had 2 red wines and the second had 1 Rose, 1 white and 2 red plus snacks. They provide such a good atmosphere and it was great break to all the sightseeing! Highly recommend.

The wine tasting experience was fantastic, which was lead by Stefano who not only gave us a lot of information on Chianti and the different wines/regions, but he also made us laugh along the way. The two wineries we visited offered a great selection of wines and snacks (bread, olive oil, cheeses and meats), but they also taught us about all the differences in wines and productions. Lastly, the setup was great to meet new people. We sat with a group of 5 people and we continued the “tasting” after the tour! Such a great experience!!!

Our group included our adult children and this was their first wine tasting, what a great experience for them. We had a great time and our guide was excellent! I highly suggest this tour.

This experience was an amazing way to see the Tuscan countryside and spend a birthday. Each of the two wineries were beautiful, cozy, and unique. They were generous with the pours and took care in explaining each wine. You could easily fill up on the food provided at the second winery. Finding the meeting point was a bit tough - read the instructions carefully! I only wish it had been longer, although realistically I don't think any of us could drink any more wine.

Don’t miss this wine tour! Our driver Leo shared Florence, Tuscany and wine knowledge with us. The wine samples were all very enjoyable. Generous pours.

Wonderful trip to wine country!! Tour guides and wineries were great! On Tim, efficient, knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Our tour guide Stefano was charming and helpful as he prepared us for our afternoon of wine tasting and visiting the 2 vineyards scheduled for that day. Each location was well prepared for us, offering their wines, balsamic vinegars, olive oils and snacks. We loved every minute of our times learning about the vineyards, tasting the wines, touring the facilities. Was a wonderful day!

A great little afternoon adventure tasting Chianti wines, Olive Oil and delicious Balsamic Vinegar. Freddy was full history and details from region. Andrea got us there on time and with a smile.

Great experience, met great people. Really enjoyed the ride, the tutorial and every drop! The wineries are really great. The knowledge and personality of the proprietors were supurb.

Beautiful countryside, comfortable van, good explanations regarding the making of the wine, nice tastings!

While our visit to Florence we choose this tour to see the countryside and enjoy the wine tasting experience. It did not disappoint. The two wineries were wonderful and exceeded our expectation. The one small issue was finding the starting point and the bus. The directions could be clearer. If you are lookin* for a wonderful 1/2 day tour away from the city and enjoy wine...this tour is for you.

This was one of the best experiences during our 4 day stay in Florence. Quick bus ride with a small group - 10-15 people (mostly English speaking). We learned a lot, frank even more (7 glasses ?), tour guide was awesome and funny. I would bring a snack as the food is light and the glasses are heavy. I also would buy some of their wine / olive oil / balsamic to bring home. 5:5 review

Freddy was our guide and you can tell he really loves Florence and the surrounding history. We had a really nice 50ish minute drive from the departure point. However it seemed to go by quickly because of the facts and stories our guide shared during that drive. The first winery was beautiful, plenty of time for conversations with other tour participants and photos of course. Second winery actually included more in-depth tour of the barrels, and large metal vats used for aging. The properties both are STUNNING and I personally enjoyed the Florence countryside more so than the city, just my experience! If you like wine and different varieties of it, I have a hard time picturing you not enjoying the tour. We also ate nice cheeses and meats at location 2. Location 1 was just bread and balsamic vinegar. Because of the amount of wine you are set up to have, if you feel that you would need it I would recommend eating prior to the tour! Enjoy.

A perfect way to immerse oneself with Tuscan culture. A must-visit for wine lovers regardless of race. The tour guide's personal approach plus a hefty serving of wine ended with a party inside the coach. Our driver who resembles Rocky Balboa made sure that we had a safe travel back to the station.
