Highlights

Sip authentic Italian wine at a private 12th-century castle on this tasting tour from Florence. Travel to the Chianti region of Tuscany in a comfortable, air-conditioned van for a fun day of learning about wine and the local traditions of the region. Let experts show you how traditional Chianti wine has been made for the past 300 years.

This is no stuffy event of swirling and sniffing your glass, but an opportunity to learn the story of the castle and the family that currently lives there. With the help of English-speaking guides, you are guaranteed to go home and impress your friends with your new knowledge of Tuscan winemaking traditions. And the best part is, you won’t even feel like you’re learning, but rather enjoying a gathering amongst old friends.

The tour begins with a trip to the vineyards to learn about and taste the different types of grapes used to make wine. After you’ve gotten a chance to see where the grapes are grown, return to the castle for a guided tasting of wines made on-site, followed by a delicious traditional Tuscan lunch and tour of the wine cellar.

Under the Tuscan Sun - Luca, sommelier at Frattorio S. Pancrazio was an outstanding guide. He shared interesting history of the vineyard, provided practical lessons in wine tasting and was a gracious host. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Awesome winery tour - This trip was totally awesome experience. From the drive out to the private Vinyard to the tour of the winery. We lucked out and got a private tasting simply by chance as the bookings were slow that day. The sommelier took us for a tour of the Vinyard and back to the tasting area, where we tastes 6 awesome wines. The sommelier was extremely knowledgeable about the wines right from harvest to the table. Once the Vespa drivers got back we all enjoyed a great lunch served in the tasting area. Over all highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Overpriced excursion - This wine tasting did not live up to the description provided. The host sommelier was personable, knowledgeable and attentive to our group given the number of wines tasted. The lunch and transportation were a huge disappointment. With a cost of $150 cost per person, the lunch should have been better than some bread, a couple slices of cured meat and cheese and couscous followed by a mini fig newton cookie. The van driver was engaging and entertaining but the van was too cramped (and not clean) to transport 8 adults comfortably for the 30 minute ride. The cost was way too much for what was provided.

Good Tour - Very poor value - Good tour guide, winery tour and tasting. However for the high price we had expected to see more of the Tuscan country side and have a spectacular lunch. The ride was 15-20 minutes in the city, and the lunch was average. This tour was very poor value compared to tours we had in other cities during our 17 day trip across northern Italy. For example, this tour was $595 for the two of us vs our Murano and Burano island tour for $142. We saw and experienced more on the island tour for 1/4 of the price.
