Our Chianti wine tour with Rebecca was an unforgettable experience. The selection of wines was exceptional, each glass capturing the essence of the region's rich winemaking tradition. The lunch served was a gastronomic delight, featuring local specialties that paired perfectly with the wines. Rebecca's passion for wine and her deep knowledge of the region added an educational and engaging dimension to the tour. The hosts were not just knowledgeable, but also incredibly passionate and hospitable, making us feel like part of their family. The picturesque vineyard settings, combined with the excellent wine and food, made for a truly exquisite day. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the heart of Chianti's wine culture.

My partner and I had an amazing time on this tour. The driver we had was very kind, and interesting to talk to. We were warmly welcomed at both vineyards we visited, felt like we were having a family dinner with them. I would highly recommend booking a tour with them!

The wineries we visited were both fabulous. Great views of the Tuscan countryside and plenty of history in each winery. Our guide Ben was so knowledgeable and his passion for wine was clearly evident. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and had a fantastic time learning about the Chianti wine region.

Our tour guide Ben was fantastic! The wineries selected were amazing, the food was unbelievable, the information provided was absolutely helpful as we all like wine, knew what kinds we liked but didn't really know much about the regions wines. Ben & both wineries treated us like family. We will definitely go back to visit & stay! Highly recommend this tour & company!

Like all tours, the experience is greatly impacted by the guide and unfortunately our guide was a miss. We had a great time at the first winery/tasting. But then the second winery was not even a tasting, we did have lunch but the owners were very unenthusiastic and did not talk to us about the wine at all. Simply brought it to the table and left the room. Our tour guide helped herself to quite a bit of wine at lunch which did not sit well with me considering we had an hour drive back to Florence. Her driving skills were already poor to begin with and we got lost going to the first winery. The tour guide also acted like a Florence know it all even though she was from the US. She made comments on how boring our corporate jobs were, how we had gone to horrible restaurants in Florence, etc. And on top of that she was not even that knowledgeable regarding the wine! Just an annoying bus driver. I would save your $$ and skip this tour and go to Chianti as a day trip without a guide.

So, we have experienced Tuscan region in a prior 2014 trip. This time, we were with two couples/friends of ours. The tour was good, about 45 minutes driving to the first place, 10 minutes to second place, and about 30 minutes coming back. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the region, and was funny and engaging for most of the trip. The wineries were good, that is the reason for the 4 stars over 5 stars. In comparison to the 5 we visited in 2014, these two we rated in the bottom half of the experience and wines overall. This is not a negative as the tour was great! Based on prior wineries visited and twice as many, comparisons are not fair but worth mentioned in case experienced travels have been to many prior wineries.

We had a fantastic experience with Grape Tours! Our train into Florence was delayed 2 hours and we had not allowed enough time to get to the meeting point, but Rebecca stayed in communication with us and gave us instructions for how to join up with the group late! We soooo appreciate Rebecca’s willingness to be flexible with us as first-time European travelers!! We visited two wineries and ate a wonderful lunch together on our trip called “Wine Time” in late Sept 2023. We also were lucky to get a drive-by sneak peek of Rebecca’s renovation project that will be featured on an HGTV series!! So cool! The wineries we visited were beautiful, informative, and this was such a fantastic way to see the Chianti region.

We had the absolute best time on our “Wine Time” tour. It was the highlight of our time here in Florence. Our tour guide and those we met at the family owned vineyards taught us so much. Our lunch was excellent and of course the wine was the best we’ve had! Highly recommend taking a tour with Grape Tours!
