First off, Giorgia was a fantastic guide. She was not only friendly and knowledgeable about the wine, but she provided us with a detailed history of the entire Tuscan region. As far as the tour, the wine was incredible and the experience was even better. All of the hosts welcomed you into their homes with open arms. The lunch at the second winery was delicious. And the Brunello was so good we ordered 3 bottles for the rest of our vacation and shipped 6 more to home.
Fantastic experience. Georgia our guide was amazing. She was so knowledgeable, friendly and engaging, we could not fault her in any way. The winery visits were great and the lunch first class.
Everything is perfect! Thank you very much!
Such great care and service by the tour provider. Clear English speaking. Will definitely book more tours with them!
A bucket list item for me to visit wineries in Montalcino and the guide engaged with me as much as I could handle. It exceeded my high expectations. My son just started drinking red wine and he also loved the tour. The small, family run wineries were places I would never know to choose, but exemplify the spirit that animates Italian wine. History, family and passion. For craft and for the land. The guide was a positive, life affirming person that made the day a joy.
Amazing experience. Incredible itinerary that focused on education of the area as well as the wine. We never felt bored or rushed.
We had a great experience in a small group of us and another couple. Georgia was very knowledgeable, personable and friendly, knowing the region very well. The three wine tastings were amazing (loved the Gina rose and the Brunello wines) and the lunch venue and food was outstanding (delicious pasta and wild boar). We have done many wine tours in many countries and this was one of our favorites.
Excellent tour. Highly recommend it. Wine estates were well chosen and wine tasting was well handled. Knowledgeable guide, interactive, assisted where needed and was flexible when required as well.
Mattia was an amazing host for out wine tour of Montalcino. The wineries showed the breadth of the region’s wines and hosted a tremendous lunch. As a former winemaker, Mattia could explain so much, so we learned far more than I expected, while having so much fun!
Our guide Paulo was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. The wines we tasted were varied and good. Our hosts at the wineries were gracious.
