Leo MUST have wine tour guide - Leo, the driver and guide, was no less than AWESOME
All the while giving us recommendations for Florence and or Rome, Leo was a great smooth driving, super kind, sang a song and even served us some food
Truly one of a kind driver that you CANNOT miss out on
The views and winery were very well selected and so was the staff at each of them
Although it was rainy, the tour was great in part especially to Leo

Most notably the best on the tour - The tour was very well organized. All 3 wineries had something to offer.
Ou favorite was Riccocelli. 3 generations work hard to offer the most amazing wine. Totally recommend it if you’re in the area.

A wonderful wine experience - We were a small group of around 25 people which in comparison to other wine tasting experiences seemed quite large but it worked out really well!
Our host Danielle was wonderful, informative and friendly.
We travelled to three wineries and they were all very different. The hosts at each of the wineries were all fantastic. We had a tour at all three and a great lunch at the middle one.
We were incredibly lucky to have such a great group who made the experience absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend this experience.

Beautiful Scenery & Wineries - Great Value Overall! - This tour was absolutely incredible. We did the 9 am tour, and there were only 18 individuals total in our group, which offered a very personalized and intimate experience. All of the winery stops were unique and offered great wines (I mean, we're in Italy, so that was to be expected). The wine, food, and hospitality offered on this tour overall were outstanding. We also appreciated the stop in Greve to see a quieter and more quaint town while on our trip to larger cities in Italy. The only regret we have is not purchasing wine to ship home from the first vineyard - we liked their wine the best!

A must do Tour if you enjoy Wine! - This is must do! If you are able to request Jason & Stephan you will not be disappointed! While the day was over cast and rainy at times, Jason made the bus ride so much fun. We visited 3 vineyards which had fantastic wines, olive oils and balsamics! Best part is they can ship your purchases, for us that is a big plus as we really had a favorite. These vineyards do not sell locally to liquor stores or supply restaurants with their wines so being able to order direct is a plus!

Daniele, our tour guide, and Pino, our tour bus driver, were so excellent throughout our full day tour! Each of the wineries - Riseccoli, Casa Emma and La Filigare - were gorgeous! We learned so vey much about the history, the wine processing and the varieties of the Chianti wines through these superb visits. Thank you for such an incredible experience on our tour day - Friday, April 19, 2024 … Magnifico!!

Excellent all day wine tour - We had an amazing day with Rauf, our guide, and Matteo, our talented driver. The bus was very nice and clean. Side note : no eating on the bus, so eat before you arrive.
We've done a lot of vineyard tours in the States. I loved the tour group focused on small, family owner organic vineyards. Great experience learning about their craft and sampling their wines. You can feel their passion and love for the business. The lunch was fantastic!
I highly recommend the tour group, Prestige Rent. Also, ask for Rauf and Matteo. They are excellent at their job.
Must do experience.
