A good experience - Celebrated my birthday there with my boyfriend and our mothers. Was lovely covered on the table, lots of food and wine. I ate veggies and they made great dishes! Recommended on the strongest

Very good - Having dinner right in the vineyard was amazing! They were also very considerate of food allergies. I went with my mom and we both had a great time eating, drinking delicious wine, and meeting new people.

Fantastic dinner, wine and hosts! - What a great time we had at Poggio Ai Laghi with Ivan and his team. Excellent rib dinner and PLENTY of wine to taste along with explanations on their varieties and which regions they're grown. Not sure about the bad reviews on the meal as our entire table had nothing but great things to say and it wasn't too salty. The ribs had very little seasoning on them so you could taste the smoky flavor off the grill. We didn't realize there aren't any taxis in the Monteriggioni area and wasn't able to get the tour bus to stop on the way. Called the vineyard and since we were only 3 km from them the owner Ivan came and picked us up. Now, that's some customer service! The tour bus did drop us off after the dinner so kudos to them for that. Can't wait for our wines to be delivered so we can relive the experience again!

Vino in the Vineyards - Pros: lovely evening in a BEAUTIFUL winery with a gracious host who really welcomed us and took great care of our group. Transportation was from Siena by bus, easy breezy. I was really looking forward to eating outside but b/c the weather was cool, they moved us inside. We tasted a LOT of wine and various aged balsamics and desert wine, dinner was great and the entire evening lasted almost 4 hours. I would recommend this to anyone in Siena as it's close by. Cons: time of the pick up changed and not everyone was notified, so communication could be better. Also alot of folks on our bus came from Florence which made for a looooooong night for them, I would recommend you take this trip from Siena only.

A lovely evening - The balsamic testing was a new experience. The food was lovely and a lot of it. Being a small group made it more fun.

Decent, but Needs Improving. - It was pouring rain, so we ended up eating inside at the shop level of the winery. How odd that they didn't give us a tour of the winery itself, especially as they ushered us in quickly through the bottom level of a not-for-public area with wine barrels. There was very little wine served, with of course only one person serving, and when my husband asked for another glass, he was ignored. Don't expect a lot of wine, but do expect a convivial atmosphere, great food (we loved it), and a hard sell at the end to buy their products. The power kept going out, but the guide (I forgot his name, but he was fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, and knew some French and German) kept us entertained. At the end, they tried to cram us all into two smaller vans instead of the bus on which we'd initially come (which had a leak that meant our new friends across the aisle had water dripping on their heads), but we weren't able to all squeeze in, so we and our new friends had an impromptu ride back to the city in a car. It could definitely be improved upon, with an actual tour of the winery, more wine offered, and more coordination on transportation. Luckily, they have a very charming young man, who is a great guide, to salvage an evening.

Disappointing dinner - Only ok. Very little wine is actually served. The food was good but all the meats of the main course were very salty! We felt as if they had not done this very many times but we know they have. Also, they had one person serving all the wines to about 40 people. It would be greatly improved, if the wine was served closer to when the food was served, so that it was a pairing.

Not happy!! - I was dissatisfied with this tour. It was 36 degrees and the bus had no AC. It felt like a sauna. And the bus was very old and all over the road. Totally unexceptional. The meal was just ok. BBQ meats but no salad or side with it. Not what I was expecting.

Stay away - BIG waste of money! - This was the worse Viator trip I have ever taken! Nothing more than a sales pitch!! They weren’t ready for us. Big warehouse on side of the road with a few lights in rows of grapes. Certainly not authentic Italian food. Dried BBQ meats. Had to continuously ask for wine. STAY AWAY!
