This was such a highlight of our honeymoon! Jonathan was the best tour guide and was very personable and John Luca was a great driver. This tour we are more than we thought (cheese, bread, olive oil, meats). We were full of wine and food by the end. I highly recommend this tour!!!!

We had an amazing afternoon in Tuscany at 2 different wineries. Our guide was informative and courteous. Would recommend to anyone looking to get out of the bustle of Florence for a while
Tom_M, Jul 2026
Literally one of the best tours I've done in my life. Alessio was absolutely fantastic. He was such a good tour guide. The locations we went to, the wine we drank, and the food we ate was out of this world. I didn't want to leave. I would 100% do this tour over and over.

We were quickly greeted by our tour guide, Jason, who did a great job trying to liven up our heat drenched group on the way to the winery. The ride was a welcome relief from the heat outside. We visited two wineries a short drive outside of Florence. They both had wonderful hosts who shared the history of the wineries and information about how the wines were made. Each winery location had its own distinct style from modern aesthetics and small productions wines at the first location to the ancient characteristics reminiscent of the Tuscany region one might expect to find in Italy. Villa Ilangi was the first winery and our host was winemaker himself. I absolutely love the 2025 Mantile Rosso and I am kicking myself that I didn't order any while I was there, but I think there is a reason I held on to the information sheet. After all, wine makes a great birthday gift to myself, right?!
Those are the small details though. The part of the experience that really stood out is that our guide, Jason, curated an experience where people from all over the world came together and shared a few hours of connection, sharing wine and stories. It was a lovely day to remember the humanity of people and their personal stories that brought them there that day. It was a wonderful day that will forever be part of our memories in Italy.

Did this tour with our adult children. Everyone had a great time. Visited two wineries, ended up ordering wine from both to ship home. Recommend!
Louise_B, Jul 2026
Great experience, we had 5 good sized samples in both wineries and nibbles. Guide (Jason) had the whole bus singing on the way back which was fun.
Jessica_J, Jul 2026
We had such a fun time on this wine tour! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany. Jason was such a friendly, fun tour guide and made everyone feel welcome from the moment we got on the bus. He kept the day entertaining, shared lots of interesting information, and really made the whole experience enjoyable. Nino was also a great bus driver and got us everywhere safely. The wineries were beautiful, the wine was delicious, and the entire day was so well organized. We had an amazing time and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tuscany!
Sherrie_T, Jul 2026
Our tour guide Irene was delightful! We learned a lot about Florence and the wines! The two wineries were fabulous and the hosts at each were very knowledgeable. The wine and food were delicious and plentiful!! Highly recommend this tour!
Sandra_T, Jul 2026
Beautiful scenery, knowledgeable tour guide, two lovely wineries. Time to shop and take in the scenery.
dv9nrtz5zp, Jul 2026
One of my favorite wine tours ever! Our guide, Mateo, was so informative, nice, and funny.
The tour went to a small and medium sized vineyard so it felt more intimate. The wines were good too.
My party of three all enjoyed the experience, and we love the low time commitment of a half day which gave us time for other things.
slbeetham, Jul 2026
Had a great day visiting 2 wineries! Great wine and food along with education on the processes…. Thanks for amazing day!
Lane_R, Jul 2026
The tour guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and a great host. The vineyards and wine were iconic. 5 stars.
Katherine_F, Jul 2026
If you’re looking for a wine tour from Florence, I can’t recommend this experience enough! From start to finish, everything was incredibly seamless and well organized. Visiting two beautiful wineries in the Tuscan countryside was absolutely amazing, and we loved tasting eight different wines, along with four varieties of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The staff at both wineries were outstanding—knowledgeable, welcoming, and extremely professional—which made the tastings even more enjoyable. Above all, our tour guide, Alexi, and our driver did an exceptional job. Alexi was friendly, engaging, and shared so much interesting information throughout the day, while our driver ensured we traveled comfortably and safely. They truly made an already incredible experience unforgettable. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip!
Mathieu_D, Jul 2026
It's exactly as described. Fun activity to do as a family. The guide and driver were very nice and provided lots of animation.
Gracie_C, Jul 2026
Great time! Jason was super fun & made sure we all were taken care of, had photos & plenty of fun! Would absolutely go again!
Michael_W, Jul 2026
Ended up being a very private tour as just one other couple booked the same day and time (just the 4 of us). We went to 2 wineries in the Tuscan hills that have great views of Florence and the country side. Our driver talked as we drove during the drive time to give us a little history back ground on the area and wineries we were going to visit. At the wineries we got a tour and story of each winery. Small snacks were served during our tastings and the wines were very good. At one winery we also tasted olive oil and a balsamic type vinegar (can't call it balsamic because it was not made in the balsamic region). All in all a very good tour and learning experience.
Tansey_J, Jul 2026
Allessio was our tour guide and was FABULOUS!!! Very informative of the areas we drov through and visited.
The two wineries we visited, Capone and (forgot the name of the 2nd off hand), were great !! We mailed home wine from both
Highly recommend this tour !
Christine_L, Jun 2026
Our recent wine tour was nothing short of exceptional. Both of the vineyards we visited were fantastic, pairing stunning scenery with exquisite wines and perfectly curated food pairings. Each host was incredibly welcoming and highly knowledgeable, giving us a deep appreciation for the meticulous craftsmanship and strict standards behind every bottle.
A special mention must go to our driver and guide, Andreas. He was exceptionally professional, friendly, and provided wonderful historical and regional context throughout our journey.
This excursion exceeded our expectations in every possible way, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier travel experience.
Roseanna_B, Jun 2026
This was so fun! Two wineries with different history. Engaging hosts and guides! Really appreciated the lively music to a from wineries. Teens had a blast.
Elizabeth_C, Jun 2026
Jason was the highlight of this tour! He was funny, friendly, and kept everyone entertained throughout the day. He interacted with everyone on the bus, shared great photo ideas, and created a fun, upbeat atmosphere that made the experience much more enjoyable.
The wineries themselves were okay, but we were hoping to visit more scenic vineyards and actually walk among the vines. The views weren't as memorable as we expected, and the winery stops were just average.
Overall, it was still a good tour, and Jason's energy and personality made it well worth it. If you get Jason as your guide, you're in for a fun day
David_W, Jun 2026
This trip was a good time, wine was good and the host Jason made the overall experience a lot of fun.
Andrew_D, Jun 2026
Went to Azienda Agricola Casa Emma and Fattoria Montecchio. About a 40 min ride outside Florence, and both wineries within less than 5 mins from each other. A very efficient excursion and well worth the price. Tried 4 different wines at both locations (at Emma, a rosé, white, and two reds, and four different reds at Montecchio). Both locations had various snacks (bread and olive oil/balsamic, cheese, bruschetta, meats, etc.). The guide was very friendly and willing to take pictures of everyone with the great views both wineries had. The winery guides also were very friendly and knowledgeable. You get a chance to order wines, olive oils, and balsamic dressings from each location. This tour was a highlight of my wife and I’s trip. A great way to experience Tuscany efficiently from Florence… transportation, wine, snacks, and views for a reasonable price. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
Erica_W, Jun 2026
We visited two small wineries that were wonderful. Not too far from Florence. It was a perfect 4-5 hour trip with 8 total wine tastings. We had Jason as our tour guide and he was great!
Irene_E, Jun 2026
We had such a lovely afternoon on this wine tour. Our guide/driver, Jonathon, was a wealth of knowledge and gave us a great tour out of the city to our first wine stop.
The wines were delicious at both stops. The Tuscan countryside is absolutely stunning.
We loved the small group of 8 ppl. Perfect size!
We enjoyed our afternoon!
Catharine_H, Jun 2026
Super enjoyable! A good length and just the right amount of wine, with more available for those who wanted more. Breathtaking scenery, delicious food as well. It was really nice to meet the families who produce the wine and olive oil that we tasted.
Stephen_C, Jun 2026
Not to be missed, our host Jason was superb, the wines and information from the wineries very very good.
Really good value
CELIA_C, Jun 2026
It was an amazing experience. A must do while in the Tuscany area. There was 18 in our group and we were transported on a mini bus. Our guides made the experience very memorable. We visited two wineries and they were both great. The second one was absolutely stunning! This was definitely a highlight on our vacation.
Tammy_N, Jun 2026
Excellent tour!! Highly recommend! Our guide was funny, friendly and informative. The two wineries were amazing and the hosts very hospitable and accommodating.
Exactly what you would hope for in a Tuscan winery experience.
Anne_G, Jun 2026
This afternoon with Prestige Rent was sooooo fabulous and the scenery so astoundingly beautiful that I felt quite emotional. Daniele and Francesce ensured that we had a safe and informative trip. The wineries were stunning and it all rounded off with a good bus singalong session on the way back to our hotel.
I cannot rate this trip highly enough!
Jacqueline_E, Jun 2026
Leo was a great tour driver. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! We had a wonderful time!
