Great Day in Val D’Orcia - We had the most amazing time on this tour. Alessandro was easy to work with leading up to the day of the tour.
We were picked up at our lodging right on time. Transportation was in a roomy and comfortable van.
We visited a beautiful family run winery in Montalcino, some of the best wine of our entire trip, but the family producing the wine was the our favorite part. We wouldn’t have found this place on our own.
Next Alessandro took us to an amazing restaurant in a small village for lunch. Delicious. Again a place we would have never found on our own.
Finally we went to Montepulciano to explore the city and visit two ancient wine cellars.
We highly recommend Alessandro. His knowledge of wine and the history of the area was profound. He is just a friendly, fun, and engaging person.
10/10.

Great day of wine tasting!! - We had such an amazing day! The wine was great, our tour guide was amazing, and the wineries were places we would never have know about otherwise. Skip the corporate vineyards and go with this tour instead. It's a little bit further out but well worth it.

Day in Tuscany - We had an excellent day with Alessandro! We were treated to brunello tastings at 3 wineries. We were able to experience the wine making process and sample and ship the wine home! Alessandro was knowledgeable and punctual. The ride was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Brunello and Beauty in Montalcino - Our private guide, Alessandro, helped us plan a fantastic day experiencing Brunello wines in Montalcino. From the outset, he proved to be a great find, responding to our many questions quickly and with great information. When we had questions about activities that he was not aware of, Alessandro took the time to research and get back to us. And when we were putting too much into a day, he was careful to clarify exactly what that would offer, and more importantly what that would take away. In the end, Alessandro helped us to plan an amazing experience, which included a fantastic visit to La Fornace, a small, family run boutique winery, followed by a tour and lunch at the beautiful Fanti. We then visited the fortress in the town of Montalcino itself and this was a perfect ending to an incredible day. Alessandro was also very personable and caring, following up with us after our visit to make sure everything was perfect. We also had the pleasure of meeting his colleague Francesco who drove us for the day, sharing funny stories, and interesting history about the region. If you are looking for a great way to spend a day outside of Florence, we highly recommend this full day Brunello Wine experience. If we were to redo it, we would not change a thing!

Siena Montalcinio winw tours!!! - Alessandro is the best!!!!!! This is a journey that my family will never forget. Siena was beautiful as well as the drive through the countryside. Alessandro took us to a fantastic winery where we toured the facility and then had and amazing lunch with our wine tasting. After the winery we stopped in the small town of Montalcino where we had an opportunity to explore, shop, and of course take more photos of beautiful landscapes. This experience was everything we wanted and more!!!!! Alessandro was meticulous in his planning to make sure we had time at all our stops and his communication was exceptional.
