The Tour was very interesting, delicious food, wine and the guide and driver were very pleasant and helpful. I have coeliac disease and this was accommodated without any problems. I would have provided a 5 out of 5, but the second winery was a different environment but the host didnt speak English well and seemed very repetitive of the first. In comparison Tenuta Torciano was fluent in English, held your attention and was informative. The wines were delicious and it was wonderful to taste the different ones along with the olive oil which was magnificent!
Canberk (John) is very friendly and a great source of information. He’s turned this into a great experience. Definitely worth it!
We had a truly enjoyable, happy, peaceful, and unforgettable Sunday in June during today’s Chianti tour with our guide, Can Bey. His kindness, professionalism, knowledge, and the wonderful stories and insights he shared made this experience even more special and helped us create beautiful memories. We sincerely hope to meet him again on another destination and future tours. Thank you for everything!
Loved Loved Loved the first winery! Ended up buying 4 bottles and getting them shipped to the UK very affordably! Lucy is a great tour guide! Super friendly!
The tastings were lovely. And they accommodated our group of children with grace and hospitality. Would highly recommend.
Nathan was a great guide- informative and funny at thr same time. Great wine, especially rhe 2nd winery
This was one of our most favorite experiences of our trip. We did the half day tour and went to 2 wineries. The wine tasting experiences with the food tastings were so much fun and both wineries were beautiful. We loved it so much we should have done the full day! The buses back and forth were clean and air conditioned.
Perfect work - team Francesko and Jovani
