A Tuscany trip well worth your time - Visiting San Gimignano was a beautiful opportunity to experience a medieval town as it really was. Poggio Torselli gave us an exquisite wine-tasting and pairing, preceded by a tour of the cellars and explanation of the wine-making and aging process. Alessandro was a perfect guide.

Tuscany wine tour at its best - Our guide Mehdi was informative and fun. View was great. Small group of 8. Selection of wineries were good. We really liked the plate of cold cuts, cheese and dessert. Pasta lunch was okay. Most important for this tour was the quality of tours and view in wineries and they were beautiful. Happy customers.

Perfect day outing from Florence for wine lovers - Max was a terrific guide and offered informative and fun commentary about the wine and history of the Chianti region throughout the trip. The first winery we visited has spectacular views and great wines. We had lunch and wine pairing at the second winery, and they are terrific as well. The San Gimignano medieval town we visited next has charming street and shops but is crowded with tourists. If you are a wine lover or simply want to enjoy and learn about good food and wine, this is a perfect day outing from Florence.

Money well spent in Tuscany! - This wine tour was worth every penny! The first winery was such an incredible experience learning from Francesco and tasting the variety of wines, cured meats and bread (the Focaccia was out of this world). The stop in San Gimignano was an equally incredible experience. The final stop at the last winery had some of the best views of Tuscany with an incredible wine tasting and a 3 course meal as well, which was delicious!
It was topped off with a karaoke van ride back to Florence curtesy of our excellent tour guide Daniel! Daniel was an incredible guide through the whole day.

Fabulous Tuscan Wine Tour - Our guide, Max (Marcial) was both informative and gracious. It was not only a pleasure to enjoy the wine and the beautiful countryside but also to feel that we had a very personal experience. I have always had some reservations about group tours, but this tour was truly special. Thanks again to our great guide.

A beautiful day in Tuscay - Best tour of our entire trip! Our guide greeted us as we arrived, gave clear instructions and helped us into a very comfortable vehicle and we left on time. We visited each location as described in the itinerary. The Corbucci wine tasting was beyond expectation. Francesco was full of passion and seemed to thoroughly enjoy having us in his home and sharing his love for his product. San Gimignano was a charming town, we were escorted to Gelateria Dondoli (order their award winner specialty!) and then allowed free time. We were not rushed but kept on schedule. We were served a full meal, which was delicious, along with more wine and the most breathtaking views you can imagine. The total group size was 8, and we quickly bonded on this fantastic experience. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a beautiful day in Tuscany.

Perfect Tuscany van winery tour during harvest season! - This van wine tour was exactly what we were hoping for on our trip to Tuscany. Tomas was a fantastic driver and guide who was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a generous photographer. We became fast friends with the other two couples in our van, and the small size of our tour group made it very easy to interact with the staff at the two wineries we visited.
Both wineries we visited were breathtaking locations with delicious wines, great food pairings, and very generous tasting (5+ wines tasted at each winery). The highlight of our time in Florence!
