We had a wonderful experience on the Wine Safari Tour. Sara and Christoph were excellent hosts, knowledgeable, funny, and really worked to make it a personalized experience. The entire group of tour guests socialized and we all soaked in the absolutely amazing countryside. My wife and I both really enjoy Chianti wines and the wineries did not disappoint, we walked away with several bottles and more knowledge about the history of how they are made and differences between grape use and region. A fantastic unforgettable experience and I highly recommend to anyone who is visiting Tuscany. This was our first time doing tours on vacation despite many many years of travel, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.
This exceeded our expectations!! Sara took us to three wonderful stops where we tasted exceptional wine and food. She was so knowledgeable and our day was full of breathtaking views. This was an experience we will remember and cherish as we look back on our time in Florence.

Wonderful experience! We had Sara who was an excellent guide and Christophe who was an amazing driver. Our guide was knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful! We went to two fantastic wineries and had the BEST lunch with the BEST view of Tuscany. The lunch place also has their own winery- which was a bonus. The food and the wine were fantastic! We loved everything and would highly recommend. It was an amazing experience and amazing day! I would do this again, 100%!

We did the half day evening tour which seemed about right. Staff and tour leader were very knowledgeable about the wines and the process of making them. The dinner on the outdoor terrace overlooking the vineyard was great way to end the evening!

The winery tour was super fun and informative. We got to visit 3 wineries that day and the Chianti Classico wine history was really neat, as well as delicious. We would highly recommend this tour through the Tuscan county side. Every stop also had great food parings with the wines.

Chris was an amazing guide we had a group of 6 people we started with wine tasting and a tour of the winery followed with a lunch at another winery. Absolutely my favorite tour so far in Italy.
