Well worth the money and time spent for the day! We were in Italy for 18 days and this was probably one of the best days I had on the trip! I'm so glad we found this company and what an excellent job they did making us feel at home and teaching us so much about wine and Italian cooking.... More

3 ladies had the best day! Serenaded by Steve our tour guide while we made pasta in a lovely villa with views to die for! Marco was the most charming host and fabulous chef for our wonderful lunch. We then went to a majestic estate for a very knowledgeable tour of the wine and olive oil production. This was the... More

We spent the day with Alexander for the Wine and Cooking tour through Accidental Tourist. The tour was recommended by a friend of a friend and further supported by our Villa owner in Montespertoli. There were 4 of us - me, husband and 2 daughters - ages 7 and 10. As indicated, Alexander met us at the park in Florence... More

My wife and I spent six nights in Italy for our anniversary; two in Rome, two in Florence and two in Venice. Without a doubt, the day we spent with Jesse, Marla and Christiana will not soon be forgotten. We did the "Wine and Walk Tour." We drove to the scenic hills near Pontassieve where we ate some tuscan bread,... More

We had a great time with our tour thanks to Jesse and Christiana, the host at the farm house. We toured a winery and had some great bread with even better olive oil. Then it was onto making our own pasta at the farm house with views that went on forever. We ate until we couldn't eat one more bite... More

Spent and awesome day doing a wine and cook tour. Made homemade pasta which was easier than expected. Had lunch in traditional Tuscany home with amazing chef Christiana. Food was better than any restaurant you could ever eat in! More

We spent a full day on the Wine & Cook tour. The day included a beautiful drive up to a private olive grove and vineyard. We learned and saw the process of making olive oil and chianti. We enjoyed some delicious tastings. I had never tasted such pure oil before! Plenty of good photo ops. The afternoon was the highlight!... More

We were stuck in Vernazza because of the mudslides and had to reschedule to the following day. They were so flexible in working with us and were happy to take us the next day instead. We ended up being the only people on the trip. This was one of the neatest things that we did while in Italy. Jesse was... More

The morning started with a beautiful drive to an estate in Chianti where there is both an olive grove and a vineyard-absolutely gorgeous! There, we did a brief tour, followed by a tasting of the local wines and the olive oil. Then onto the historic farm house in Tuscany where we made fresh pasta and then had a fabulous lunch.... More

Had so much fun learning how to make pasta with Majla at her amazing home at her Medieval Watchtower in Tuscany. We laughed and laughed and enjoyed this wonderful afternoon while sipping on red wine. We ate 6 dishes including desert and then sat back and enjoyed a fresh brewed coffee. An afternoon I will never forget. Thank you from... More
