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.

So Much Fun on the Wine Tour!!!!

Henry_J, Sep 2023

My wife and I had such a good time on this wine tour. We stopped at 2 different estates and both had beautiful views and very kind and knowledgeable staff. Our tour guide was awesome. Wines were delicious and the food they paired with them was delicious as well. Would absolutely recommend taking this tour!

The group tasting was awesome. The driver and tour guide were fun! The tour around two different wineries were beautiful. Definitely would recommend.

Don’t miss this!!

Shannon_O, Sep 2023

So much fun!! Rafael was intelligent and worked hard to make sure everyone felt like a friend and had a great time!! Both vineyards were great, but Casa de Monte was the highlight of our trip to Italy. Best wine ever and a learning experience too. Highly recommend. Our bus driver was expert managing narrow roads and played great tunes to boot.

Perfect for wine lovers

Scott_C, Sep 2023

My wife and I loved this trip! It’s not far from Florence, and the two vineyards we visited were only 5 minutes apart. The wine was incredible, and the tours were very memorable. Our guide, Mateo, was the best! He told us many stories about Italy, and took pictures for every couple/group. We would do this again!

Great way to spend the day

Tanya_N, Sep 2023

I enjoyed each part. The info session in the beginning about Italy. The drinks of course. The beautiful countryside and time to explore. Great group! Thank you, Jason n Matteo!

Take an afternoon to enjoy a “sip” of Tuscany

Margie_G, Sep 2023

Trip was close, yet gives you a taste of Tuscany. Wonderful guide, 2 great wineries, nice group of people.

Lighthearted, fun, interesting

Susan_P, Sep 2023

Our tour guide, Jason and our bus driver. Antonio were both wonderful. The whole trip was thoroughly enjoyable. It was well planned out, lighthearted, fun, and very interesting! We would absolutely recommend it.

Great!

Jennifer_S, Sep 2023

This is a great tour! Our guides, Pino and Jonathan, were knowledgable and funny! the estates we visited to had beautiful landscapes, delicious wines and the owners were very hospitable. Great way to spend the day!

Beautiful views, delicious wine

Taryn_W, Sep 2023

This tour was beautiful! My friend and I (late 20’s) left from Florence and got aboard about a 25 person bus headed to our first winery. It was a 40 min drive to the first stop. This local farm and vineyard was decent. Views and tour of the wine making part of the estate was okay, but the actual wine was amazing, and large pours! You get to sample a small amount of their olive oil, but it is just on two small pieces of bread. We then headed 15 min to the second estate which was absolutely breathtaking! The villa was stunning, amazing garden, and views of vineyards overlooking Florence. The views alone made this trip worth it! They give you lots of time to explore the estate and take plenty of pictures. The actual tasting was good — delicious wine (smaller pours) and a small sampling of meat, cheese and bread. I had expected more of a snack/food on the tour so as long as you don’t expect to eat a lot, I’d definitely recommend!

Unforgettable experience! ❤️

Lavette_B, Sep 2023

Jonathan and pino were the best !! Enjoyed every single bit of it and the wine of course! They were so personable and informative! Well worth it!

Excellent, Fun, Scenic Experience

Lera_O, Sep 2023

This was actually a great tour. We were a little bit worried about going on a wine tour with a total of 25 people, but the tour was well done, the guide was excellent, and the two wineries were beautiful. We ended up shipping quite a lot of wine back to the US. This was a wonderful way to spend half a day; everyone in our group was pleasantly surprised by how civilized and fun this experience was. Definitely recommend. Meeting the group was also very easy - I was worried upon reading the instructions, but when we arrived at the Piazzale Montelungo, it could not have been more obvious where we needed to go.

The best way to see Tuscan Countryside!

Sharon_E, Sep 2023

Great bus ride in the A/C, the tour guide gave us information that we would never have known! He was awesome and so friendly!! The winery's were great, very friendly and gave is such great stories about the countryside and history!

Lots of fun! Good wine beautiful scenery

Karen_D, Sep 2023

Had a wonderful time with Emma. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She made an effort to talk to each one in our group and find out a little about us. Wineries were great!

MUST DO! 10/10 Recommend! ⭐️

Jessica_B, Sep 2023

One of the highlights of our trip to Italy was the wine tasting experience just a short drive outside of Florence to the Chianti region. Our tour guide Jason and our driver Matteo kept us informed and entertained the entire trip. We learned about the region and the wine. Highly recommend! We will be going back to Florence and doing another wine tour!

Highly recommend- great fun !

Cathrine_B, Sep 2023

Excellent!! Book now - the wine tasting was fantastic- all were delicious with yummy cheeses and bread . The bus ride there was a hoot - our guide Jason was very engaging and provided great information re the area and history. The wineries were beautiful- totally worth the trip .

Wine-Drunk, in the best way!

Luke_D, Sep 2023

This wine tour was an amazing way to spend a day of our trip in Florence!! It was fairly well organized, and the bus that took us to the vineyards was very nice and A/C friendly (thankfully). The vineyards were beautiful, wine was amazing, and the staff at each vineyard was great! I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a shorter experience than some of the other longer tours.

Great experience

Ryan_C, Sep 2023

The tour was great- good energy from the guides, a little knowledge about Florence and stunning views from the wineries!

Nothing special, but a good experience

Kendra_E, Sep 2023

We enjoyed meeting friendly people. Our guide provided some history and the wineries explained their process. Unfortunately, nobody walked us through the subtleties of each wine or showed us how best to test each. Also, they poured tastings into already used glasses.

A lot of wine to drink....

SzeKi_L, Sep 2023

A lot of wine to drink. The tour guide is very informative. The atmosphere is great. Would recommend this event
