Beautiful tour - This was an amazing tour, especially for the money. Our guide was wonderful very friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The tastings were above and beyond the best I have ever experienced. The vineyards and wine tasting room themselves were spectacular. We were able to sample a variety of wines. Lunch was on a terrace with a spectacular view and the food and wine they served were delicious. And I was very lucky. We were in a very small group only three of us so it made it a very personal experience. The drive to and from Florence was also beautiful going through the Tuscan Hills. I highly recommend.

Great tour - The tour was just the right blend of sightseeing, wine tasting and driving through the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Our driver and guide Luca was amazing. He gave the perfect amount of relevant information about the region, its history and what we were seeing. And when everyone was tired he let us doze. We highly recommend this tour!

We didn’t have to worry about a thing, but make sure you know what wineries you were going to ahead of time - This was a great trip with a large family group, including our 85-year old grandmother albeit She is a pretty mobile person. They took us to solaria Patricia which is a pretty small newer winery, which we really didn’t want to do on our one and only wine tour. We were looking to go to the more established names and of Montepulciano and Montalcino.. in the future, I would recommend that you get the names of the wineries you’re going to ahead of time and if they can’t work with you, I’m taking you to the places you want to go then make your reservations with someone else. We really enjoyed the Ercolani wine tour. They gave us a top-notch experience and of course we bought some of their fabulous wine. So all in all I would recommend it. Because the lunch in our Tuscan town was absolutely fabulous which was prearranged. So we didn’t have to worry about anything.

Amazing and unforgettable!! - This wine tour is a MUST-DO! We had such a blast. It was nice and intimate, a group of 8 total. We saw two wineries and tours and had a beautiful lunch! We got to see the cute city too of Pienza and shop around. Let’s not forget about the drive all around the countryside of Tuscany. It was by far such a beautiful experience. I highly recommend this tour!

A bit unsatisfying - This trip was a bit waste of money. The experience felt not completely what i was expecting- i thought we would be going to a beautiful places to explore a bit more of beautiful valleys of Toscana. But instead I kind of had to ask a driver to drive us around, unfortunately 2 other visitors were not very keen of exploring the valleys. I would rather recommend to hire a car and drive around these beautiful places by yourself. Ps wine tasting part was pretty nice, but again does it worth so much money? Not sure about it.
