Michal was a great tour guide We loved our wine tastings and the lunch was fabulous. We even took a visit to Pienza. We drove through the beautiful countryside.

The wine tour was fantastic. We were taken to 3 very different wineries and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and the wineries themselves. We really enjoyed our conversations with him. Would definitely go again!

Thomas_M

We visited 3 beautiful different wineries. A castle, a small boutique organic and a winery which seemed to be in a cave. A lovely meal paired at the last winery in Montepluciano.. We were educated at all wineries and also spent an hour in Pienza wandering this beautiful town. Our driver was great, personable, knowledgeable and friendly. Worth it if you love wine and want to have unique tastings that the general public does not receive.

They accepted the tour booking, took the credit card details and confirmed it, then cancelled with no good reason. Pretty unprofessional.

Such an amazing day trip with Niccolo. He picked us up at our villa which was high in the hills near Cortona. He spoke great English and gave us lots of information along the way. The three winery’s were all unique and we enjoyed them thoroughly.

Michele and Niccolo made this wine tour one to remember!! The knowledge Michele shared was amazing. Learning the history of the different regions was very educating. The wineries and the wine was amazing. I highly recommend this tour!!!

We had loads of fun on this wine tour; Niccolo was a wonderful driver and guide. He gave us lots of information as we traveled around the Tuscan countryside. He was unfailingly polite and helpful, and his English was excellent. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a day out in Tuscany, tasting excellent wines and having a lovely lunch. The car was comfortable and spotless.

Bucolic Tuscan hilltop gem somewhat overrun by rich Americans looking for romance and excellent wines, local art events, while attempting to replicate Frances Mayes book and movie “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Well worth a visit, but it is quickly becoming a tourist Mecca only and not a true Tuscan Village experience.

Edward_B

The trip essentially consisted of a driver taking us to 3 locations where a wine tasting was provided, 2 in Brunello and 1 in Montepulciano with a stop in Pienza. The wine tastings were good but not superior or exceptional. The driver was not knowledgeable about wines or the regions.
