Additional Information

I am Simone Vergamini, “Best Sommelier of Tuscany 2023”, and I also secured 3rd place in the Best Sommelier of Italy in 2018, 2021, and 2022. It will be my pleasure to guide you through the finest wineries. Throughout our journey, I will share the rich history, traditions, and unique characteristics of the area and its vineyards.

We will visit two magnificent wineries that epitomize the Chianti Classico region. After exploring the vineyards and cellars, we will indulge in tasting the exquisite wines they produce. Our lunch will be at the Gagliole estate in Panzano in Chianti (FI), following our vineyard and cellar tour. In the afternoon, we will head to the Monsanto Castle in Barberino Val d’Elsa (FI). Should any of the wineries be unavailable, I will gladly inform you of the alternative options, which typically include Bibbiano in Castellina in Chianti (SI) and Molino di Grace in Panzano in Chianti (FI).

I am passionate about my profession and continually travel to discover the best wineries.

Amazing Experience at Tuscan Wineries - This was an incredible experience! Simone took us to two fantastic wineries in Tuscany- Gagliole and Castello Monsanto. The guides at each place were extremely knowledgeable and the views were amazing! Simone taught us what to look for when smelling and tasting wines, and we learned a lot. Altogether a wonderful day trip in Tuscany and one our family will be remembering for a while.

Wonderful tour! - This is one of the best tours of our trip! Our guide, Simone, was great and has a vast knowledge of wines! We were driven through the scenic Italian countryside and taken to 2 beautiful wineries. At each winery the experience was different, but both with amazing wines and views of the wineries, and it included a delicious lunch. Simone was wonderful and helped to answer questions about various wines and their complex flavors and aromas! I highly recommend this tour for wine lovers and for those who have never been on a wine tasting, as the experience is fantastic!
