Fabulous wine - Lovely tour of 2 amazing vineyards with lovely wines to taste. Just don't bank on the snacks served to be your lunch as they are just very small snacks to taste with the wine - second vineyard better than the first.

Fun Wine Tasting Experience - Great tour! Our tour guide, Aaron was amazing! Very knowledgeable and shared interesting facts about the area and his personal stories, which we def appreciated. Got to know our guide a bit more personally and that was great for this trip! He was funny! He was very attentive and made sure he had every member of the tour group with us! Would def recommend and would tour again with this company! Would hope to have Aaron again! I’m not into dry wines, but the hosts, the people that explained to us our different wines we were tasting were fun and it was worth the trip!

Great memories with family. - Excellent Trip to a wine yard. We took this with family + wanted to have a quick tour of Chianti road and taste a few wines. It turned out to be perfect. Timing was just right. We did not want to spend a whole day, but half a day was good enough to give us a flavor of the Kia TV and I get a feel for two binaries with very different wines. I will guide. Aaron was great. It's really funny but also very informative. I would highly recommend. The route and the wineries were really scenic. If you're looking for a photo op definitely take this tour

Good value for money - Worth the money we enjoyed tasting the different wines they had to offer, however, the meeting point was very hard to find. We asked 3 other tour guides for directions and each of them sent us in different directions and there was no clear sign of which bus was ours.

Disappointed family wine tour - Our family consisted of 13 people. I was unable to reserve 13 people all at once, so I booked 2 tours separately for the same tour. Upon arrival, we were split into 2 groups, but were told we would be going to the same wineries. Unfortunately, we were sent to different wineries and our family of 13 was not together. One group of 7 enjoyed the 2 wineries they visited. The group of 6 were sent to 2 wineries that had no view, were next to industrial buildings and both tastings were in large stale rooms. We were so disappointed to have not been together as a family. We would not recommend this tour.
