The Essence of Tuscany: Private Journey & Estate Winery Lunch
Description
Join our highest-rated private escape into the Tuscan countryside. Discover the charm of a medieval hilltop town of your choice and enjoy a legendary, family-style gourmet lunch at a historic boutique winery. Proven quality, timeless memories. There is a reason why travelers consistently rate this journey as the highlight of their Italian holiday. This is not a tourist excursion; it is a day spent as a guest of Tuscany. We focus on the "Slow Living" philosophy—giving you the time to breathe, taste, and explore without the rush of a typical tour. We take you to the places our guests have loved for years. You have the choice to explore the world-famous towers of San Gimignano or the serene, authentic atmosphere of a Chianti village (like Greve or Castellina). The heart of this trip is a long, relaxed lunch at a boutique family-run estate, while sipping premium wines in the very place they were produced.

Florence was beautiful and interesting, but too crowded. It was to get away with our guide, Pavel. Very nice guy full of interesting information. Beautiful countryside and a very good wine tasting with pairing. No problem accommodating my no pork diet.
Hello Roger, thank you for your review! We hope to see you again
Francesco was excellent. We had a very relaxed day. Especially enjoyed Castello Di Verrazano, fantastic lunch and tour and tasting. We would highly recommend this day out
Hello Sandra, thank you so much for this review! We hope to see you again
The incredible Castello di Verrazzano vineyard, the tour and the excellent vineyard staff. We also visited a very beautiful little town Montefioralle. Unfortunately the driver who picked us up and took us to the tour. First he arrived late and still asked us for about 25 more minutes because he had to ask for a permit. Afterwards, his way of driving was extremely slow to the point that many cars honked at us, it seemed like he didn't know how to drive. He was of Russian origin and his English was really bad and he couldn't explain well how little he wanted to say and for a 5 hour tour it is quite frustrating. All in all, when we started the tour outside our hotel, I still hadn't gotten into the car and she had already left. Then he turned onto a street and got behind a stopped car. I had to ask him if we were expecting someone because the car in front had no driver and was parked. She had not realized this, that example is the type of driver they sent us. I repeat, the vineyard is incredible and the tasting and tasting excellent, with another driver I would have given the highest rating
Thank you for your review! We are sorry for some misunderstandings with the guide. We will investigate these situations to keep high quality of our service. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the tour!
We became crazy about the food, landscapes and people of Tuscany after this tour! Fantastic memories! Chianti is amazing region. Our guide was so kind! We stopped for many photos! This is the tour "must do" in Tuscany!
Incredible experience! Tour with attention to detail and film-like landscapes, the cellars visited with Tuscan wine tastings left us all with wonderful memories
It's the best route we have ever done in Italy! Tasting the local food and wine in an ancient castle is incredible experience. We stopped many times for the photos. Our guide was very kind and friendly. The landscapes are amazing! Thanks so much to the trip planner for this opportunity!
Thank you very much for your review! We hope to see you again
Great tour! It was so friendly and so tasty :) since the beginning we felt like we are in family. We visited amazing places and very beautiful castel where had wine and food tasting. Many beautiful landscapes of Tuscany were like in our best dreams. It's very important to say that the organization was very good and the travel manager gave us all the information we need.
It was fantastic trip in Tuscany. We saw amazing views, tried excellent wine & local food. I hope to do it again next year. For sure I will book the same tour with this professional agent and guide.
