A perfect day in Chianti - Stefano began by patiently answering our questions weeks before the trip. He checked in with us as our date approached and then arrived to pick us up in Florence city center at the pre-planned time and location with his clean, spacious van. Our trek included our two adult children. Stefano was the perfect host. His English is impeccable, and he was kind to share some history of Florence, the Tuscany region, and more as we arrived in Chianti. When we realized we accidentally brought sparkling water, he stopped to be sure we had the chance to get still water. Our family of four includes a landscape architect, an ecologist, and a college minor in sustainable agriculture. He was patient to answer so many questions about the area, plants, and flowers that we saw. Our hike was exactly as expected in terms of duration and difficulty, but it was far more beautiful and peaceful than anything we could have imagined. Each winery was unique, but all welcomed us, gave us detailed information about their grapes, olives, and history, and each shared their delicious products. We had the opportunity to purchase wine and olive oil from all, but none were high-pressure situations. Our first case arrived within days of our return home! Stefano was careful to be sure we were each comfortable and he gave accurate details along the way so that we would understand how far to the next stop. While we visited the final winery, he somehow retrieved the van and had it cooled and ready to take us back to Florence. Our only regret is not staying in the area longer and having him take us to Cinque Terre too! We highly recommend Stefano, Out of the Box Florence, and look forward to returning in the future for one of his other treks! Grazie Mille!

Amazing experience! - We booked a hiking tour of Chianti Classico with Out of The Box Florence, and it was a dream! We took a scenic drive through charming villages in the Tuscan countryside, then hiked between three wineries. We got to meet the vintners and hear their stories. Then we had some of their wine with cheese and meats of the region, along with amazing views! Our guide was very knowledgeable about wine and the area. We could tell that he cares deeply about protecting the environment and educating the public about sustainable tourism ... but he also made it fun! It was an unforgettable experience that our family will be talking about for many years.

Florence: Tuscany & Chianti Classico Trek & Wine with Lunch - Lorenzo was a fantastic tour guide. I can't say enough about how happy I am with our experience. The 3 wineries were incredible. There was heavy rainfall, so we couldn't do some of the hikes, but Lorenzo gave us many backup adventures and took us to his favorite small towns. The nature was remarkable, and it was great to meet local wine and olive oil makers. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour, as it is an amazing day. Lorenzo's flexibility and knowledge about the area and the wine was impressive. Meeting all kinds of people who have been creating wine and olive for decades was a very cool experience and I would do it many times over if I could.

Our favorite day in Florence out of the Four Spent - This was our favorite day in Florence. Lorenzo met us at a cafe near our hotel. We ended up having a private tour for the day. Lorenzo was very knowledgeable about wine and plants. We enjoyed learning about foraging for mushrooms and the local flora. The countryside was so beautiful! We loved having a glimpse into two small family wineries and one mid-size winery. And, the wine was delicious!

Incredible hike and wine by Lorenzo - Lorenzo took our family of 3 on an unforgettable hike in Penzano (Chianti region). We couldn’t have asked for a more kind, thorough and attentive guide. He was quite knowledgeable of the region, and all the local flora. We even tasted a few herbs and berries along the way. Happening upon some olive pickers, Lorenzo explained the harvesting process and coordinated us observing on the spot. The 2 smaller wineries we visited were our favorites- so hospitable and a home cooked meal! Not to mention outstanding wine! Do yourself a favor,and book this tour! Grazie mille, Lorenzo for a fabulous day!

Lisa & Kim Italy Adventures - Stefano is absolutely wonderful! This is my 2nd time doing the wine trek and my sisters 1st time. This is the highlight of our trip! Out of the box Florence is amazing and I highly recommend people doing this tour amongst his other tours! From the views, the wineries, the people are just amazing! Stefano is also so funny and super knowledgeable of the area and makes the time so memorable! We can’t wait to come back!!

A great day in Tuscany - This may have been the best time we had in two weeks in Italy, and I highly recommend this for active couples that enjoy the countryside, wine, and good company. Our guide, Massi, was a charming man with excellent English, infinite patience, and a passion for the Chianti Valley. He is also an forager and historian, with knowledge of both the plants along the trail and the impacts of Rome and war to the beautiful land. The three wineries we visited were diverse, and each had a wonderful host full of stories and vision. It was a great day in Tuscany -- if you are able, contact Stefano to make it happen!

Once in a lifetime experience - Absolutely the best day of our trip. Stefano is a wonderful guide and he has composed such a nice experience for guests. The trekking was definitely reasonable for any fitness level (I was very out of shape for this trip) and really added to the experience, being able to see the beautiful countryside and historical architecture in the region. It was so special meeting the vineyard owners and hearing them talk about their wine with such pride. Lunch made by one of the wine maker’s mothers was out of this world good. Just remarkably charming. Stefano is knowledgeable in all sorts of things so kept the walking portions of the tour engaging and fun. He’s just a fun person to be around. I wish we could take him to Rome to lead the rest of our excursions on our tour of Italy! Book this experience - you will love it!

Experience Wine country with the Best - If I could give Stefano more than 5 stars I would. This experience was easily the most fun that we have had in Florence! Stefano is a sommelier and a fantastic guide around the wineries, not to mention an all around fun person to be around! 11/10 experience!
