Great trip!

Toni_M, Sep 2024
Simone was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the wines. Both wineries we visited were beautiful

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Grazie Toni! Simone

If you can only do one full day winery trip, this is the one to take!

Adam_M, Jul 2023
Our guide, Simone, was such a pleasure to be with for the day. This is absolutely the best full day trip we could have done and we made new friends and enjoyed every minute. If you can only take ONE trip during your stay in or hear Florence, this is the one! Small group and attentive wineries made for lots of fun and a little bit of learning while we were there as well! If you can spend the day with Simone, you will not regret your investment! Bravo, Simone!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Ciao Adam, Thanks for your amazing review! Waiting for you next year for a vintage sidecar ride! Simone

Conhecer essa região da Toscana foi...

Mauricio d, Apr 2018
Conhecer essa região da Toscana foi fantástico. Montalcino é um lugar dos sonhos. Conhecemos duas vinícolas, Tricerchi e Piombaia. Fomos muito bem recebidos e atendidos. Os vinhos são excelentes. O nosso guia, Gilberto foi ótimo, muito educado e motorista seguro.
