I can't say enough about this tour. It was amazing. Small groups make it super enjoyable. Our tour guide was excellent. The countryside is gorgeous. We went to 2 wineries with amazing wines and food and there was a 3rd stop in the town of San Gimignano where you were able to walk around, shop, eat or climb to top of the tower. The length of the tour was also perfect. Some tours to Tuscany are 12 or 13 hours. This was a perfect 7.5-8.0 hours, so we had a great time but we weren't exhausted when we got back. HIGHLY recommend this tour

We loved every minute of this tour! Lorenzo was our driver and tour guide. He was fun and informative. We stopped a few times and he offered to take pictures of each couple and our group with the beautiful scenery. The winery we visited was wonderful and we purchased wines and olive oil. Another stop for lunch and more great wine! Highly recommend this tour.

This was such a fun experience, and Oswaldo was a great tour guide. We had a mixed group and he speaks perfect English and Spanish, too! It was great to get out of the city and explore the countryside. San Gimignano was such a unique and beautiful deep-cut experience!

Great tour, beautiful countryside, wineries were great stops! Our group had a great day and yes we bought wine to ship back home.
Don’t skip this tour. Absolutely amazing from pick up to drop off. The wineries were just fabulous, food ( yum) plenty to drink and education on the process of making the wine. DO IT!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊
We’re very happy you enjoyed the experience with Daniel, the wineries, and the food. Hope to see you again soon in Tuscany 🍷✨
What an amazing day in the countryside with Cecilia. She arranged two fantastic wineries to visit with food and wine tastings at Corbucci with lunch at Terre Di Sovernaja expertly prepared by Nonna was simply exceptional. The quaint town of San Gimignano is a must do! Highly recommend!
Fantastic tour if you want to escape to the countryside for a day. The drive outside of the city was not too long and they took us to a wonderful small winery. We got to experience a tasting hosted by a very passionate wine maker at his family home which was honestly one of the highlights of my entire trip. He has a very cute dog too. This tour is a must do if you are visiting Florence!
What a wonderful experience!! Our guide was very informative and friendly. The food was wonderful and everything from the knowledge shared from how to hold the glass to how to determine the age of the wine by the color and smell was so interesting…not to mention the wine tasting was amazing!
We visited in July from Australia. Our guide for the day was Max. We visited some beautiful wineries with great wine and great views. The food accompanying the wine was delicious. The groups are small which allows for a very nice experience. Would recommend to anyone who wanted a relaxing fun day in Tuscany.
The tour was amazing! We saw amazing views of Florence and Tuscany. The wineries had great wine and food and the staff were very knowledgeable.
This was THE best experience we had in Florence! Both wineries were beautiful, hospitable and the wines were delicious. Our guide Bijon was hands down the best from his knowledge of the area to the driving us back and forth between wineries! We had two other couples with us and we sang karaoke on the way back to our drop off spot and just enjoyed the spontaneity and fun with everyone. Highly recommend Bijon, we will be
Be back and we will request him again!
Great experience. Max, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgable of the Chianti wines and the region.
The description on viator doesn't do the tour justice. The Tour was AMAZING, we went to locations where we were the only group (6 people) no big bus tours, and the more intimate settings allowed us to really learn about the wine making process. There was plenty of food on offer, and we tasted 11 wines in total. Everyone in our group did purchase some wine and olive oil, but there was no pressure to.
Max our guide was also Fantastic!!! He is so knowledgeable about Italy, Florence, Tuscany, and you could tell he loves the tour and appreciates the wineries we went to.
Spend the extra money to do the smaller tour, it exceeded my expectations by the time we arrived at the first winery!
So much fun! Small group, lovely people. Daniel, our guide and driver was the best! Both wineries were top notch, and San Gimignano is very special!
it was so incredible! cecilia, our guide, was so friendly and warm, and we saw beautiful places and drank wonderful wines. they are a flexible company and we could not have been more pleased
Medhi was a wonderful guide and driver. The countryside is beautiful and the wine tasting and food was excellent. Loved the visit to San Gimignano too. A really full day with some lovely people. I cannot recommend this tour enough!
Would definitely recommend, we had great views, great food and the tour guide was fun
And of course, we drinked a lot of wine
Fantastic day, thank you Daniel for a great day exploring Tuscany. And thank you to our fellow travelers who were so much fun.
This was our favorite experience in our two week trip through Switzerland and Italy. Our tour guide Daniel was absolutely AMAZING!!! Small group of 7 people including my family of 5 with two kids under 12. Daniel treated my kids like GOLD!!! I would absolutely recommend this to a family looking to book a Tuscany wine tour.

Dear ,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We're truly honored to hear that our tour was the highlight of your two-week trip through Switzerland and Italy, what a compliment! Daniel will be absolutely thrilled to know how much you and your family appreciated his care and attention, especially with your little ones. He has a special gift for making everyone feel welcome, and it's always lovely to hear that it shines through. It was a pleasure having your family with us, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the small group experience in Tuscany. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more wine, views, and unforgettable memories. Warmest regards,
Silvia
Excellent tour. Visited a villa that produces wine from start to finish and tasted many varieties of wonderful red and white wines. Lunch was on an amazing location and with excellent food and drinks. Our driver Vega was wonderful, personable, and friendly and took us on a great ride through Tuscany with enough time to stop and visit San Gimignano.
Daniel was great!
He was a knowledgeable, fun-loving guide who enriched our experience with many photo opportunities, his knowledge of the region and his customer service skills. We also enjoyed his music playlist. I highly recommend this memorable Tuscan tour. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.
My daughter and I had an amazing day on this tour! We visited two wineries as well as stopping in San Gimignono. The wines were all delicious and the scenery breathtaking. Daniel was a wonderful tour guide and ensured we all enjoyed our time. Thank you for a memorable day!
This tour was meh. Our tour guide didn’t seem to enjoy his job and phoned it in. The first vineyard we stopped at was terrific. The vineyard owner was passionate and the wines were delicious. The second vineyard we stopped at was basically a tour factory. Tours in and out all day. The lunch was nothing special and we didn’t care for the wine.
It truly was an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide Daniel had such a wonderful personality and his knowledge of the area was unmatched! The Tuscan countryside was breathtaking and the 2 wineries were fantastic. Highly recommend!
The wine tour was so fun and I feel like i learned so much. We tried at least 6 different wines and some limoncello. Everyone on the tour was so friendly.
I can't say enough about this tour. It was amazing. Small groups make it super enjoyable. Our tour guide was excellent. The countryside is gorgeous. We went to 2 wineries with amazing wines and food and there was a 3rd stop in the town of San Gimignano where you were able to walk around, shop, eat or climb to top of the tower.

HIGHLY recommend this tour
I booked this trip through Viator and the activities hit all the places I wanted to see while enjoying a wine and olive oil tastings. Our guide, Cecilia was professional, positive and cared about our experience. It was a lovely day. The folks in our group we're friendly and nice to talk with. We had a fantastic day. Thank you!
The experience was very enjoyable. The first winery we visited, Poggio Torselli, was in a fabulous setting and the gentleman (Matteo?) who discussed the wines was very informative about the products and the history of winemaking in the region. Our visit to San Gimignano was lovely, a little gem of a town. Finally our 3 course lunch at the second winery was in a beautiful setting overlooking hills and the town of San Gimignano. Our tour guide Cecilia was wonderful and gave us lots of time to explore. Our group size was 7 and our mini bus made it a comfortable journey.
