For the wine 5/5, but for the tour and the information given on the win I’ll give a 3/5, we don’t get any information on how the wine is made or how to really describe it.

Gabrielle our tour guide, and our driver Paolo, gave us a 10/10 day. This wine tour is perfect for those wanting to learn a little bit about the wine culture and history as well as tasting fantastic wines (plus some snacks)
-
Had a fantastic time. We enjoyed both wineries and the wines. Both wineries provided bread, cheese and meat slices to pair along with the wines so it was like having a couple ‘lunches’ so we weren’t hungry for supper when we returned. The guide, Anna was excellent. The first winery really was amazing. We were given their history and shown their storage barrels and even brought down into their underground cellars and passages. Simply fantastic. Only down side was we purchased a bottle of wine at the first winery and the carrying box it was put in came apart on the bottom as we were walking from the bus at the end of the day, and the bottle of wine broke apart, spilling everything.
-
We enjoyed the second wine tasting but would’ve happily skipped the first one. We did an indoor wine tasting (with very little information from the host) and then only had 10 minutes to take photos around the small vineyard which was disappointing. We also didn’t stop en route to see any views/countryside.. this was purely a wine and olive oil tasting trip which unfortunately lacked the scenery we were hoping to see!
-
We really enjoyed both wineries that we got to visit. The bus was easy to find and very comfortable.
-
The second stop was our favourite. The guide was very good, funny and informative. The estate was very beautiful the buildings and garden area
-
The drive to/from the vineyards are an hour. It looked like there was a bathroom on the bus but they said we couldn’t use it. The first vineyard was disappointing - nothing outside of the 3 wines we tried were explained and they were mediocre served with bread and EVOO. The second vineyard made it feel more worth it - sommelier was an outstandingly charismatic guy and the wines/food were great. Also, it said in the tour description you’d get to stop along Tuscan vistas to take photos WHICH WE DID NOT.
-
Great experience, highly recommend for a half day tour. Our bus driver Luca provided a smooth ride into the Chianti wine region countryside and our tour guide Nathan was great highlighting areas along the way, giving great historical background of the major Tuscan cities and added great professional tips for taking amazing pictures at both vineyards. Ample very good quality wine, olive oil and food was served on the trip.
-
I loved the two wine somalíes that guided us through the tastings at each winery! Very high energy and informative. Also, the air conditioning on the bus was wonderful.

I went on this tour with my parents, we took a taxi to the meeting point and found the coordinators with ease. We departed on time and the coach was nice. We enjoyed the ride, it is lengthy, but, we hoped it would be in order to see the beautiful Tuscan scenery. I greatly enjoyed the scenic drive. Our guide was informative and helpful and the two wineries were great. We visited Il Ciliegio and Tenuta Riseccoli, both were great but the latter stood out. Ultimately, it was a memorable and special experience. I would recommend this tour to anyone staying in Florence who is looking for an opportunity to take a brief venture into the beautiful area of Chianti!
