Fun trip! - This is great way to hit some Tuscany highlights. The two wineries we went to were lovely. It was hot that day and both tastings are outdoors so dress accordingly. We came from Rome so a lot of time was spent traveling for this one. They did provide the train tickets to and from Florence and that was seamless. We had a great time!

Great wines! - Our guide Lorenzo was great. We were able to try many wines and the people leading us through the wine tastings were knowledgeable. My only wish is that we could have had the tasting with more food first. Easier to taste wine with some food in your belly.
And the views were beautiful despite rainy weather.

Nice tour with 2 wineries, 7 wines first stop - This was a great experience, we had our train tickets sent to us (we came from Rome). They were messaging us that day to make sure we made it to the train and that we were okay. Then, we met with the rest of the group and tour guide in Florence, about a 25 minute walk but it is a beautiful one! They made sure we got back with plenty of time to make our way back to Rome. The first winery was fantastic, the 2nd one was very hot they didn't put any fans outside and the wine was pretty warm by the time we got to drink it. They also didn't really talk to us about the wines. But the views in Tuscany are beautiful.

Wine and food in Tuscany - A really good trip to take if you have not been to Tuscany before. Samieh the Tour guide was very engaging and informative. The Stop in Pienze was rather long. Perhaps it could be exchanged with a place like San Geminiano where the time could be better spent. The local food and wine tasting was adequate.

Wear good walking shoes! - It was an exhausting day. We get ourselves to the Rome Termini station to take a 725am 1.5 hr train ride, then walk in the heat for over 20 minutes to find the tour guide (before you pay you are not told about this walk after rising early for for a 725am train), then a bus ride to the wineries.
The two wineries were fine, I was not inspired to buy any of their wines. The first winery’s aggressive salesman was unappealing 🙄.
Tuscany is beautiful and made it worth the trip.
