“The tour was great. We had first a visit to a traditional small vineyard from a Italian family, great wine and food, and the Nona was super nice with us. We saw the grapes plantations, drank wine and they were good and had snacks. Second one was way bigger, so more comercial, but it was super cool to see the difference between them, specially cause the second one was more than 100years old. The guide knew a lot about the region, and she even gave us recommendations about Florence. Everything went well”

Guides vary, with Flavio, Anna, Barbara, Antonino, and Sonia among the praised names.

“I really enjoyed this day tour of Tuscany from Rome. Our guide Antonino was great and knowledgeable. The tour first stopped in Montepulciano which was my favorite. Unfortunately, I felt visiting Montepulciano was rushed, we didn't have much time to explore on our own. We then stopped for lunch, I agree with others, we just got small splashes of wine to try and the food was kind of underwhelming. We stopped in Pienza as well which was beautiful. Unfortunately, the day I was there, everything was closed. There was not much to do. My recommendation is give us more time in Montepulciano and less time in Pienza. Otherwise, I really…”

“This was a great relaxing evening. This is a nice tour for when you need a break from the museums and running to different spots. Although more insight into the wine making process would have been great, we knew what we signed up for. The wine was delicious, but we took away a new appreciation of really good aged local balsamic. It was terrific with the Pecorino cheeses and paired nicely with the classicos. Highly recommend!”
