Loved everything about it! The stop at the American War Hero cemetery was an unexpected yet memorable spot. Winery and manager were wonderful. Informative, and interesting. Fantastic wine selection and cheese and snack pairings. Beyond expectations

Nice car, nice driver, but waste of time going to Greve in Chianti - it’s a small square and honestly just a big waste of time. Would rather see a 2nd winery. We actually drove more out of the way to go to Greve. Not a fan… Winery and food tasting was nice- lots of bread and cheese. The cellar tour was nice to see- don’t expect tons of technical information on wine making. We were fine with that:)

Our experience was amazing. Marco picked us up and brought us to a beautiful small village to shop before going to the winery. The winery offered breads, oils, and cheeses in addition to the wine. We tried 5 wines and had a great day enjoying the views of Tuscany. On the way back to the hotel we were dropped in a desired location in Florence. The car was very comfortable and clean. We would definitely do this tour again.

Wonderful tour guide - a local Florentine - Alexander. Great transport in nice car to the countryside. Delicious and informative wine tasting.

Insieme ad un gruppo di amici, abbiamo deciso di fare una gita nel Chianti. È stata una giornata davvero piacevole. Oltre ai paesaggi magnifici, abbiamo potuto apprezzare dell'ottimo vino e prodotti locali. Le visita alle cantine è stata davvero interessante e istruttiva. Siamo stati accompagnati nelle cantine e nelle degustazioni da persone professionali e cordiali, che sono riuscite a trasmetterci tutta la passione per la loro terra e attività. Anche l'autista è stato molto gentile. Non potevamo desiderare una giornata migliore! Francesca

Perfect to learn and understand how Chianti wine is done and how different it can be. The two wineries were perfectly chosen in order to give two different experiences (cellars atmospheres, type of wines, speakers...). I would definitely recommend this tour to enjoy the wine, the landscape and the tuscan food, without forgetting a nice bus to take you around!

This was money well spent. Even though our driver spoke limited English, he was able to communicate points of interest along the drive to Tuscany. He made a point to stop at a small town on our way back as we had some extra time, and was kind enough to point us in the direction of the best treats there! The wine tasting was excellent and the staff at the vineyard were passionate, informative and kind. It was beautiful and was THE highlight of our time in Florence.

I cannot say enough about this tour and our guide Luciano. We arranged for pickup at our villa outside of Florence for a small additional fee. Luciano brought a great balance of history, humor and love for Italy that was contagious. The wine tasting was fun and Luciano brought us to the beautiful town, Greve in Chianti, the center of the Chianti region and arranged dinner at a fabulous restaurant. This was one of the highlights of the trip to Italy.
