Great tour and great customer service - Tuscany is the home of many fine wines, and a great way to experience them is to take this tour. Our driver, Stephan, was very knowledgeable and made negotiating the twisting roads a breeze. At the end of the tour, we were the last passengers to be dropped off. Just as we approached our hotel, he got a call that the previous passengers had forgotten their phone in his van. This meant that Stephan had to go significantly out of his way to drop their phone off on his way home. He couldn’t have been more gracious. It was a great example of excellent customer service.

100% recommend this friendly and intimate trip to boutique wineries - I 100% recommend this trip - from collection to drop off the day was just superb! The comms prior to trip were really helpful to help sort our pick up details and help with any of the questions we had. Our guide Michael was also really friendly, knowledgeable and passionate, and we were very lucky to be paired up with a lovely newlywed couple from America. The two featured wineries included in our trip were well selected to offer two different experiences, and it was great to visit independent and smaller operations rather than larger highly commercial operations. Visit 1 - beautiful location inside and out, amazing wines, friendly all-women team and producers (bonus points) and opportunity to see where the wine was made. Visit 2 - very intimate in that you literally sit down with the owner for lunch in his garden overlooking the vineyard eating delicious traditional food made by his mum with occasional visits from the cute family dog. Very passionate about his wines which are made in a very unique way and seemed to genuinely enjoy hosting guests. The 1hr pit stop at a local town in between the two was also a lovely treat. If booking, note that it is quite a long day from around 9am to 5pm with a lot of wine served and a later lunch at around 3pm so you might want an easy night to follow with a light supper.

Fantastic vineyard and tasting tour of Tuscany - Great experience!
The Etruscan cellars of Ercolani Nobile in Montepulciano were very interesting and educational and our guide was personable and knowledgeable. The vineyard Paradiso in Montalcino was beautiful and the wines and lunch were delicious. Marco the guide was passionate and informative.
The highlight though, was our driver Michaela
who was funny, incredibly informative and had an amazing understanding of Tuscany’s history, geography and wine/vineyard knowledge.
Would highly recommend this excursion when you visit Cortona!

Highly recommend - Highly recommend this tour. Our driver was wonderful, stopping at several locations for pictures and information. Both tastings were outstanding. The first was extremely informative and gave me a better understanding of nobile di montepulciano. The second includes a lovely lunch after a tour of the historic grounds and buildings. I would book again just to relive the experience.

Great tour! - The wine tour was fantastic. We were taken to 3 very different wineries and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the wineries themselves. We really enjoyed our conversations with him. Would definitely go again!

Beautiful Tuscany - We visited 3 beautiful different wineries. A castle, a small boutique organic and a winery which seemed to be in a cave. A lovely meal paired at the last winery in Montepluciano.. We were educated at all wineries and also spent an hour in Pienza wandering this beautiful town. Our driver was great, personable, knowledgeable and friendly. Worth it if you love wine and want to have unique tastings that the general public does not receive.

Amazing Day Trip - Such an amazing day trip with Niccolo. He picked us up at our villa which was high in the hills near Cortona. He spoke great English and gave us lots of information along the way. The three winery’s were all unique and we enjoyed them thoroughly.

Cancelled by operator after they took booking - They accepted the tour booking, took the credit card details and confirmed it, then cancelled with no good reason.
Pretty unprofessional.
