Jason our guide and Tony our driver were exceptional. We had a group of 20-25 in a large bus. Jason had a great sense of humor and was very knowledgeable of Italy and the Florence area. We went to two amazing wineries and had great wine and food and met some fun couples. We highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful, relaxed, tasty.

Des, Sept 2023

Our guide, Jason, was fun and light hearted! We enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the experience overall. The Tuscan countryside and vineyards are breathtaking and everything you can imagine it to be! The wine selection, especially at our 2nd vineyard, Casa Emma, was incredible and versatile. We took lots of wine home for souvenir gifts! Possible improvements would be to be able to taste wine outside overlooking the vineyards, since we were inside for most of the experiences with only limited opportunity to see the views. Would consider this type of experience again!

Wine and views!

maricela_l, Sept 2023

The trip has 2 different vineyards, and the first one Casa Sola, was amazing! Great explanation, you learn a little bit and you enjoy great wine and lovely ambiance. The second one, no big deal but the food was good. It was not a small group we where like 20-30 pp.

Lovely Experience!

Taela_O, Sept 2023

Great service

Fantastic afternoon winery tour of Tuscany.

Karyn_A, Sept 2023

What a great way to spend an afternoon...this tour was fantastic. We went to a couple of wineries and tried a range of delicious wines. We bought one to enjoy later. The tour guide Sophia made it a fun and informative tour. Antonio was a great driver, too. The coach was comfortable and the small group have us the opportunity to talk with other travellers. We enjoyed it so much! It was a highlight of our trip to Italy.

Great Experience

RA_W, Sept 2023

Chianti wines and olive oils. What could be better?

Erica_H, Sept 2023

If looking for a quick half a day trip, this is it. Great tour to the Chianti region. Beautiful scenery and delicious wine. Daniel was a great guide. He was knowledgeable, attentive and funny.

Beautiful tour!

Kelsey_W, Sept 2023

Wonderful experience touring 2 wineries! Our tour guide was Jason who was absolutely fantastic! Entertaining and very friendly. Only thing I wish we did differently was more time to explore the winery on our own.

Great wine tasting experience ❤️

Linda_A, Sept 2023

We loved our driver & tour guide. She provided us with info about each winery & the wines we’d be tasting. The drive & wineries were beautiful. We loved the wineries & bought 6 bottles from each winery! On the way back I asked our driver if he could play some Italian music for us. The whole bus was singing. Great fun!

Quintessential Tuscany

Larry_Z, Sept 2023

The setting and facilities at the second winery we visited was the quintessential Tuscan experience that we were looking for and the wine at both vineyards was superb m!

If you’re looking for a small group wine tour, this is it.

David_H, Sept 2023

We had high hopes for this tour and my goodness, they were exceeded tenfold. We visited two stunning winery’s/vineyards on this tour and they were both littered with amazing people and beautiful views. Our tour guide was Jonathan and it made the experience unforgettable. He knows the owners of the properties like family. Our driver Piero went above and beyond to provide us with a safe and efficient trip. Truly an unforgettable tour, would gladly go again and again.

Excellent tour

Julie and Jamie wine party

James_V, Sept 2023

Great experience. Started off quiet and turned into a rager. The bus ride home was a karaoke where everyone had a mic. So fun.

Great experience

Jane_F, Sept 2023

Traveling alone can be challenging. This tour was very inclusive. I felt like part of the group. Great to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside and to enjoy the exceptional wines.

Couldn't recommend more!

Erin_T, Sept 2023

We had an amazing time on this tour. The wine at both wineries was amazing. Lots of information given about the wines and included delicious cheese/bread/meat with olive oil and balsamic. Was nice to get away from the busy city centre for a few hours and enjoy the views of the country side. Definitely recommend this to any wine lovers!
