Must do! - This was a great tour learning about the Chianti region and wine! Jason was a great guide and definitely kept us entertained. Highly recommend taking a few hours out of the busy Florence streets and explore the countryside.

Double Pleasure at Wine Tastings. - Great to visit two different wineries. They provide two perspectives of growing, harvesting and processing their grapes.
Travel to and from the wineries provided fantastic views of the Tuscany landscapes.

Truly wonderful afternoon out - I booked this trip to co-incide with our 40th wedding anniversary, because I thought wine tasting combined with a trip into the Tuscan countryside would be something special. And it did not disappoint. For me, it was the highlight of our 5 days in Florence. Our guide, Daniele, kept us informed about the day's proceedings and entertained on the 30 minute drive to the first winery. There were 24 in our group. The small coach was comfortable (and had seat belts). At the first winery, San Michela Torri, a member of their staff took us on a short tour and explained in detail (but not too much detail) how the wine was made, about the Chianti region, and also about their extra virgin olive oil production. The tasting, which was in a private room, consisted of 3 red wines, Chianti Classico, Chianto Florentine Hills, and Super Tuscan. Very generous measures for a tasting. It was accompanied by a few slices of bread with their extra virgin olive oil. There were other groups there, so we had the place to ourselves. A short drive though lovely undulating countryside took us to the next winery, Tenuta Poggio Torselli. Here a member of staff took us on a tour of the formal gardens, explaining about the history of the estate. The views of the vineyards and hills were lovely. The tasting started with red 3 wines, small measure this time, accompanied by a few cold meats and cheese from local producers. And then we had small measures of a 3 further wines, amongst which was an "orange" white wine (which I didn't like but my wife did). There was a lot of singing in the coach on the way home! What we liked about the trip was that the 2 talks at the wineries had different focus, and indeed they were both different in themselves. Plus we never felt rushed in either place.
