By far one of the best day trips I’ve ever had! Once I booked the tour I received welcoming correspondence from the tour company. Then came Rossana… EXCEPTIONAL! She contacted me a couple days before with confirmation of pick up et… Our driver Lucca was awesome! They were waiting outside the convertible Mercedes van for us as we walked out our front door. On the way Rossana pointed out various sites and points of interest. Recognizing that we had a late night before, we stopped for coffee along the way. Then there was our arrival to this truly magical place Montepulciano!!! There is the most breathtaking landscape that surrounds this beautiful town. We lucked out being it is close to Christmas. There was a Christmas market in the square. We walked around the charming stands. Rossana helped us with any translation along with understanding the various areas that the things were made. They also carried our purchases for us and put away safely in the van (this was especially nice after we bought wine at De’Ricci Cantine Storiche). I did not think the day could get better but I was way wrong… next was our wine tasting tour at De’Ricci which is located right in the middle of the town. Emilio was our wine tour aficionado! Not only is the wine cellar magical the history is too. I can not even to attempt to describe the cellar in fear I would not do it justice. After the tour we gathered at a table for the tasting. We tasted 6 incredible wines and enjoyed a plate of various delicious treats and pasta. I love wine and being from California with Napa and Sonoma right there I must admit I can be a bit picky. I ended up shipping 60+ bottles home and bringing 6 bottles back to our place in Rome. There were four of us in our party and each of us can’t stop talking about our incredible day. I apologize for the lengthy review but I think it’s important to know what you’re booking and with whom. I have stored Rossana’s contact information and will be booking with RomeItalyExplora for the personalized tours they provide. Absolutely incredible day, thank you Rossana for going over and above any expectation!

One of our favorite days in Italy!! It was so nice to be picked up at our hotel and have a comfortable ride to Montepulciano. Once there we were able to see the plaza and take a tour of the stunning underground winery. Great wine, amazing views and Bianca was a fabulous guide. I would definitely go again.

With covid still being a concern in early February, I was looking for a private tour and we discovered a gem in Rosanna and Luigi! They picked us up at our Airbnb and drove us to Montepulciano and provided information about the area along the way. We had a nice walk through Montepulciano. The wine cellar was amazing! Historical! And the views of the countryside were beautiful. Everything you'd expect Tuscany to be. The wine tasting was delicious and they provided so much information. We were able to ship some home. Arrived back in Rome with plenty of time to freshen up for dinner. Rosanna was a gracious host and offered advice/tips for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend this tour!!!

We had the most remarkable tour with Roseanne and Luigi. Incredible food and wine tasting with 4 different wines in one of the most incredible cellars.
