My wife and I had the most extraordinary day of wine tasting at the castles in Tuscany with our amazing tour guide, Hillary! This experience was nothing short of magical. If we could give a 10 star rating we would!
First and foremost, Hillary was the best tour guide we could have ever asked for. She is super knowledgeable about Florence, Tuscany, Wines, and history.
The wineries were straight out of a fairytale. Visiting these historic castles nestled among the vineyards was a dream come true. The architecture, the lush gardens, and the views of the Tuscan countryside were simply breathtaking.
The wine selection was equally impressive. Each vineyard we visited had its unique charm and offered a delightful array of wines. We drank amazing wine and Hillary taught us about chianti Ruffina. She is a trained sommelier making the tastings both educational and enjoyable.
What set this experience apart was the hospitality. The staff at each castle went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. They shared stories about the history of the castles and the winemaking traditions, adding depth to our visits.
The day concluded with a sense of fulfillment and a newfound appreciation for the beauty of Tuscany. If you're looking for a luxurious, immersive, and utterly enchanting wine-tasting experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Hillary and this trip! Five stars, no doubt!

The Castles are really manor homes which have been converted to wineries or may have always been wineries. Not really castles in my opinion. They were interesting but one of my friends was really interested in the castle aspect and not so much the wine.

We had an excellent tour with Hillary in the Chianti Ruffina region. She shared her wine knowledge in a very accessible way. The historical context as well as general conversation made the tour really fun. We had toured Chianti Classico region previously and still learned lots of new things about wine making and specific regional differences. And of course the wine and lunch were excellent!

Hilary was a fantastic guide! She shared lots of great information about Tuscany and was a very knowledgeable sommelier. She made the experience fun, and even our drive to the location was enjoyable because of the great conversation. We look forward to taking another tour with Hilary next time we are in the region!

We enjoyed the scenery and the locations. It was just the right amount of time at each "castle". We tasted a variety of wines and heard the history of the area and locations. Lunch was great. Appreciated the information on wine making.

What an amazing and informative way to enjoy a day in the chianti region. Our host was charming and engaging. We were educated on the history and development of each wine we tried. MATTEO our guide was even better. He is a highly trained sommelier and genuine nice guy. Witty and knowledgeable without arrogance. Rare find and so worthy of high praise. The afternoon lunch was delicious as well. Our small group got along well and shared many stories. I would reccomend this tour!
