We had an incredible time, the wineries were absolutely gorgeous and the wines were fantastic. Our tour host Jason was the life of the party and kept us greatly entertained. The driver Alessio was such a great guy as well. It was so nice to enjoy the peaceful wine country after spending a couple days in the city. Well worth the short day trip from Florence! Ended up making friends with some group members as well.

Tour visited two beautiful wineries where the workers were friendly, welcoming and the wine and snacks were tasty. John our guide was energetic and kept the party going while Tony our driver was cool and calm. Our fellow travelers were a lot of fun and we celebrated two birthdays while on the bus
Beth_M, Apr 2026
It was great. My only concern was the place
We met to greet the bus. It was VERY confusing if you were not from Florence Your was fabulous. Liked the 2nd winery better than the first but well worth both tours

The two, family-owned wineries were excellent. They were incredibly hospitable and the wine was delicious. Our tour guide Matteo was kind and very knowledgeable. Probably the highlight of our Italy visit. An excellent experience all the way around! Highly recommend!
Gail_L, Apr 2026
This was awesome! Highly recommend. Great tour guide, amazing food, delicious wine, and gorgeous views!
Henry_B, Apr 2026
We had an amazing time on this 2 Winery tour! Our host and bus driver were amazing. We learned deep information on both winery’s prior to arrival and the short tours we had were awesome. We ended up shipping home 6 bottles from the second winery and the views weren’t million dollar views, they were 10 million dollar views. Our thanks to our tour director, bus driver, and our two vineyard representatives as they were all professional, fun, and very informative.
Oh, and let’s not forget Viator! They have been the best place to buy your experiences for several years for us.
Keith_K, Apr 2026
Experience was fantastic, this was my second time going on this trip, we also met some very nice people as well.
Bobby_B, Apr 2026
One of our favorite wine tours. The tour had excellent wines (Chianti). Absolutely perfect. Many tours have mediocre wines. We shipped several home along with the olive oil.
Erika_T, Apr 2026
Galya was an excellent guide! She was very knowledgeable and you could tell she cared about the Academia. She was concise and passionate I would highly recommend.
