This was the highlight of our trip to Tuscany. Ginevra was our guide and wow- what a fun, sweet, knowledgeable sommelier! This was the perfect blend of learning about wine, tasting it, eating, and just enjoying the three vineyards we got to see. It was a perfect day and I would do it again 1000x over. Thank you for such a wonderful trip!
Totally exceeded all expectations, and my expectations were pretty high. The scenery was everything I ever imagined and more. From the moment we met our tour guide Ginevra to the moment we had to say goodbye to her and our driver Fabio, we were impressed. Thank you so much.
This was such a great introduction to Chianti Classico on our trip to Florence! Ginevra was amazing as our guide, thoughtfully answering any questions we had, making sure everyone was comfortable even in the heat, and fully explaining the wine making process! Riding in the 4x4, I was nervous stepping into the truck however Fabio was an excellent and safe driver getting us to the winery and lunch with the utmost care! The Poggio Torselli villa and winery was so interesting to see the wine making process. The wine tasting was excellent and we loved hearing the story of the owner making his way back to Florence. We would definitely recommend this tour with the great duo of Ginevra and Fabio!
We had a wonderful experience on the Tuscany Wine Safari! Our guide, Sarah, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about Tuscany, the wineries we visited, and the wine itself. As a professional sommelier, she taught us how to properly taste wine while debunking many common wine myths. The lunch and tastings at two beautiful wineries made the tour well worth the price. We also loved traveling through the Tuscan countryside in the safari vehicle, which made the experience even more unique. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience Tuscany’s wine region!
Excellent trip, Genevra was fantastic, a really friendly and personal host. The wine, food and atmosphere throughout the whole trip made the experience thoroughly enjoyable. Tuscany is so beautiful too!
We had such a fun experience! Got to try 7 wines from the Tuscan region and had a lovely dinner. Our guide was friendly and informative!!
A wonderful experience. Both Genevra our guide and sommelier, and driver Sergio were brilliant. They took us to some truly beautiful places, and both the wine and food included couldn’t be faulted. Would highly recommend the tour which was even more special that Genevra and Sergio were locals, definitely worth the money as some of the locations wouldn’t have been accessible if you tried to do it by yourself!
