Food and Wine Lovers-Don't Miss This! - We highly recommend this. These two wineries and food parings were perfect. Educational, tasty food and delicious wines. We live near wine country in California, and this beats the wine touring we have done there. We suggest taking this opportunity on your trip to Tuscany.

Highly Recommend - We went in a group of a 7 girls (all friends/girls trip) and did a private tour. I highly recommend this winery! They communicated very well and accommodated us! They had a driver pick us up from our hotel and drop us back off wherever we requested. The family was lovely and very welcoming. Our tour guide was Fabrizio and he was great! The view was breathtaking. From start to finish they exceeded our expectations and more!

Winery tour - We had an amazing day. Stephan was a wonderful guide and we absolutely loved everything about the day. San Gimignano was beautiful and we had just the right amount of time to explore. The wineries were both very different and we loved them both. I would highly recommend this tour and guide!

Just AMAZING ! - My husband, myself and our two grown daughters in early 20s had the most wonderful experience at these Tuscan wineries. The Tour is run beautifully and our driver was knowledgeable & professional. The first winery is a small, family owned and operated and just gorgeous in every way. It was a very personal experience being there and Niccola was exceptional. Our tastings were paired with beautiful nibbles from the region. The wines are gorgeous. The second winery is a larger venue that caters to events etc. Here we had wines paired with a traditional Tuscan lunch. The food was delicious. This is a busier places with more groups present and a dining area more like a restaurant. The drive through the Tuscan country side is breathtaking. Our brief stop for an hour in San Gimignano was very fun and the views from the top of the town are lovely and worth the trek up. At the top I caught a glimpse of "Dante Allegheri" in full period garb reciting his poetry from his time in exile. I wish we had more time in this beautiful walled town but it's worth the peek and inspired us to see more of Tuscany. We recommend this tour highly. It's worth every penny and the tour company is excellent !

Tours of Tuscany is the BEST - My husband and I took this tour during our honeymoon and it was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, the wineries and the wines were some of the best we have ever tasted and visited. Tours of Tuscany is truly the best! If you were looking for a review to convince you to book this tour, this is it! Tours of Tuscany can tailor a trip just for you or you can take one of their already planned out tours. Truly an incredible experience I will remember for a lifetime!

Impeccable service and enjoyable tours - Our tour with Tours of Tuscany was our party's favorite part of our time in Tuscany. The professionalism and ease was experienced right from the beginning. From planning- Sylvia was very responsive and answered all my questions. She helped me design a tour that would work for us. To the day of: We were picked up in a timely manner by the pleasant, knowledgeable, warm Niccolo. He was not only a driver, but a true guide to the area and the wineries we were about to visit. He taught our group about what it meant to be Chianti classico, and the nuances between the different certifications. He was so easy to talk to and didn't make us feel like novices, even though we were. He also suggested the best gelato we had on our entire trip, during our stop in San Gimignano. We will all dream of that gelato for many moons to come! Our tasting and lunch at the 2nd winery were delicious and a perfect cap to a beautiful day. Do not hesitate to contact them and book an itinerary that works for your group. They had great suggestions and were very flexible. We hope to come back one day soon and try another tour. Grazi mille, Sylvia and Niccolo!
