- E2107WDkatherinew0 contributionsAmazing Vineyard TourMatteo was so wonderful! All of the wineries were amazing and so was the food! It was everything I hoped I would see on a wine tour in Italy.Written 13 January 2025
- pamelafaganh0 contributionsLoved everything about it!Matteo was the perfect tour guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, and very kind about our lack of wine experience. He managed to set up two wineries on the day after Christmas, which we had feared would be impossible. And the wineries were fantastic. The wine was great, the views fantastic, the people at the vineyards very welcoming, and the food was also great. Five sincere and grateful stars for Matteo and Italy and Wine. Thank you so much! It was a trip highlight for us.Written 28 December 2024
- joanmJ4841RN0 contributionsWonderful DayWe had a remarkable day touring the Tuscan country side an tasting Chianti wines and olive oil. The organic farm was wonderful. The food plentiful and excellent. Giovanni was so knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our experience special and unique. We would highly recommend this tour.Written 26 November 2024
- Ashton G0 contributionsIncredible wine tasting experienceMy fiancé and I went on the Chianti & Super Tuscan 3 wineries tour from Florence with Matteo and we had the most incredible time. We had booked a shared tour but it only ended up being the 2 of us which was very special. Matteo was absolutely wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot from him. All 3 wineries we visited we lovely but our highlight was Tenuta Montiani. We had the most incredible home cooked meal and the wine was amazing. Matteo made sure that the wineries we visited were able to accommodate my gluten and dairy allergies. I would absolutely recommend this company for your Tuscan wine tour. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!Written 22 October 2024
- mysticpt0 contributionsFabulous tour with great guideWhat a great tour! It was raining, but it did not affect our day at all. Andrea was an AMAZING tour guide. There was only one other couple, but he always made sure we were engaged in all aspects of the tour. The wine samples were more generous than any samples I had seen at any winery in North America. As pescatarians they accommodated us at every stop. Lunch was delicious. We learned a lot about the wines in the Chianti Region, and enjoyed all the wines we tasted. I highly recommend this tourWritten 14 October 2024
- HeatherH6860 contributionsUnique and Local ExperienceWe had a wonderful time on this tour, with our host Raffaela. Truffle Hunter dog, Choco and his protege, Aries, were able to find us a truffle that we enjoyed during lunch. The walk in the woods was peaceful and beautiful and helps you work up an appetite. Lunch exceeded our expectations with multiple courses, delicious flavors, and wine. All products are produced by Francesca and her family, on-site. We loved this unique and local experience!Written 5 October 2024

- BurkeS10 contributionsHighlights of our Trip!This tour was exceptional. Matteo, the tour guide, was fantastic and super knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed the 2 wineries selected for the tour. San Gimignano was beautiful and worth the stop. We were fortunate the be on the tour with only one other couple making the experience seem like a private tour. Highly recommend this tour. **The stop at Corbucci winery was one of the highlights of our entire European vacation!Written 16 September 2024
- Brenda S0 contributionsExcellent!Andrea Colato was exceptional! His expertise in Tuscany wines was truly impressive. Andrea was not only personable and engaging but also made us feel incredibly welcome. He showed genuine interest in learning about us and our culture, while passionately sharing his deep knowledge of the local wines. We visited two wineries and enjoyed numerous tastings, each enhanced by his thoughtful insights. We highly recommend him—100%! You will not be disappointed.Written 16 September 2024
- mcguirekarin360 contributionsAwesome!!My friends and I had the absolute best day ever. We were able to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside, stopping at San Gimignano, visiting 2 wineries all the while learning and laughing. Our wonderful guide, Andrea, was simply the best. He shared his knowledge in a way that allowed us to learn, ask questions and enjoy lots of fun throughout the day. He went above and beyond!! I would highly recommend this tour especially if you are lucky enough to have Andrea as your guide. Mille Grazie!!Written 5 September 2024
- Ashely10 contributionsGreat experienceHad an amazing time! Matteo was very friendly and helpful and we had an amazing experience. From the truffles to wine and cheese to history, he made it an unforgettable experience. Would definitely do it again and highly recommend Matteo.Written 23 August 2024
- francisbE5123WV0 contributionsAmazing wine tour visit with Andrea in MontalcinoI cannot express enough my gratitude to Andrea for making this unique experience in Montalcino exceptional. Andrea was amazingly interesting, entertaining, caring to our needs and very knowledgeable. Being with my family for the first time in Italy, I could not have hoped for a better guide. We had fun, we discovered amazing vineyards, plus Andrea took the time to give us a training on wine tasting technique which made us appreciate it even more. His knowledge of Italian history is quite impressive. Our 2 vineyards visits were awesome with Catherina and Alicia as hosts. Thank you so much for an amazing memory.Written 11 August 2024

I cannot stress enough how fun and informative this tour was. My girlfriend and I booked this shared tour, and it ended up being just the two of us with our tour guide, Matteo. Each experience was so interesting as Matteo was able to explain how to properly taste each wine from a sommelier's point of view. On top of that, the hosts at both of the wineries we visited were so welcoming and taught us more about the history of the region and their respective wineries. For lunch, Matteo took us to a great local restaurant with beautiful views of the countryside and a delicious three course meal paired with wine. This was an absolutely phenomenal day and my girlfriend and I cannot recommend this tour (and Matteo) enough.

My husband and I did this all day private tour for our 24th wedding anniversary. Our guide Pierpaolo was very knowledgeable and taught us so much. He took us to two amazing places where we were able to tour the cellars and meet the owners. We then went to a local place for lunch where we were served local cuisine that was excellent. I would highly recommend this tour in Florence, Italy and highly recommend our tour guide Pierpaolo.

Wine tastings and vineyard tours don’t get any better than this. Matteo was absolutely fabulous! He is just as entertaining as he is informative, and that’s saying something. It was really fun to learn about Italian wine from both a sommelier and the owners of the vineyards. This is everything you could want in an Italian wine tour. The vineyards are gorgeous and unique. In addition to the various wines tasted, we also got to taste olive oil that had only been bottled the week before! We decided to book this wine tour pretty last minute, the night before, and we couldn’t be happier that we did.

We had Matteo as our driver/tour guide, and he was absolutely amazing! We went to two wineries and out for lunch in between! Matteo was so genuine, we felt immediately comfortable and at home with him! He was extremely knowledgeable of his country and of the wine culture, not only was he telling us about his country he also was interested in learning about ours and us personally. Our lunch was filled with story telling, and it felt as though we had made a life long friend! We highly recommend this tour and hope that you’re lucky enough to have Matteo as your guide!
Thank you Matteo, for making this tour a special memory to our honeymoon! We will be back! :)

Hilary was exceptional! Bravo! She is a sommelier and a great historian about Florence history. We learned a whole bunch about wine and Florence on our 7-8 hours with Hilary, all good. The castles we visited were amazing in the Chianti Rufina area of Toscana. Especially the story about Lorenzo the Magnificent at Castello del Trebbio. Hilary took us on a tour of the many cellars which were huge and deep. Upstairs we had an intimate wine tasting in a huge typical Tuscan dining room. The wines were very nice. We had lunch at Agriturismo Tenuta deli Cavalieri. This is also a horse camp. It was quiet , peaceful and delicious.
After lunch we headed to the highlight of our tour, Marchesi Gondi Tenuta Bossi . We were greeted by Marquis Bernardo Gondi and a little later by his sister Donatello. We toured the cellars as Bernardo educated us about his family history and their mission. He was very proud and passionate about his family’s history. We then were led to the interesting wine tasting room which had many antlers and stuffed animal heads around the room. We sampled 5 different wines, one white, three red and a vin santo. The wines were all very very good.
Hilary was a fantastic guide in such a wonderful area! We enjoyed her company. We learned a great deal about the wines and for that we say, Grazie Mille!

Five stars! Highly recommend. We had a lovely day on the Castle and Chianti Tour. Our tour guide, Julia, was fantastic- she was knowledgeable, friendly and made the entire experience so fun. We enjoyed two tastings at two beautiful vineyards, along with a delicious lunch in a small Italian village. By far our favorite experience we had while exploring Italy.

We started this day with Andrea as our tour guide and he quickly turned into our friend! With some of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve seen and some extraordinary food, I’ve had to write a review to tell everyone how incredibly worth it this tour was! Andrea’s knowledge, authenticity and gentleness made it even more magical than it already was! We highly recommend him as not only a tour guide but also as a good friend!

Our guide was informative, personable and a great driver. The wineries were great although our second stop was in Montepulciano by far one of the best I’ve ever been to. The scenery was incredible and never felt rushed.

This is a must-do when in Florence! The small group tour is so intimate and gives a much more personalized and customized experience than the larger tour operators, and you also have access to exclusive (and delicious) wineries. Our guide Pierpaolo was FANTASTIC, so knowledgeable, friendly and made the entire day so fun. This was the highlight of our ten days in Italy!!
