A beautiful bus ride into the Chianti Region of Tuscany. A guided tour of the Historic Village of Vinci the birth place of Leonardo DaVinci. A tour of a hundreds year old Winery set on a hill overlooking hundreds of acres of Vines and Olive Trees and a tasting of 5 delicious wines accompanied by Prosciutto, Salami, Cheese, Tomato Bruschetta and Delicious Olive Oil on Crusty Italian Bread. An excellent tasting experience in a story book setting guided by an incredibly knowledgeable and gracious Guide. Truly a wonderful afternoon, and worth every penny of the cost.

Short drive to Vinci then the winery on a small bus. Loved the Vinci visit, such a historic and quaint town. The Winery we visited was small but the wines delicious and the tasting spread with bread, cheeses, cured meats and then sweets was ample. We bought 2 bottles of wine to enjoy on our holiday. Met and enjoyed the trip with lovely new friends.

We loved starting off with a brief visit to Vinci and see the birthplace and baptismal fount of Leonardo da Vinci. It was truly inspiring standing at the birthplace of one of God’s many blessings to humanity. Then the tour and tasting of a historic family wine vineyard and fellowship with other tourists was vey nice!

This experience was far more then wine tasting! Valerie filled us with information and knowledge about The beautiful Chianti region and Vinci Italy. She had a passion and talent for sharing that with her guests. The day surprisingly started with a tour of the village of Vinci where Leonardo da Vinci was born. This is Phelan by a visit to a small family vineyard where we got to meet the owner and tour her beautiful facility. A table set outside with an amazing view and more knowledge about wine and I ever had before. I drive back full singing and I stop for donuts. This was truly one of the best adventures I had in Italy!

This beautiful trip was led by Tony through the countryside to Vinci and finally to the vineyard. She was warm and friendly making us all feel welcomed. Our trip started in Leonardo’s birth place ending in a lovely vineyard in the hills. The owners of the vineyard greeted us with a smile. A generous selection of wines, accompanied by meat, cheeses and their olive oil on tomato bruschetta followed by Vin Santo and cookies. Incredible! The setting was beautiful, great company and a fun trip home singing Italian songs. I highly recommend this tour!

Where to begin the story of this wonderful day brought to life by our guide Tony..We were met at the Lucca train station and our adventure began. She was knowledgable of the surrounding area telling us stories and playing music as we traveled. We toured Leonardo’s birth place of Vinci then on to the the vineyard. The family greeted us warmly upon our arrival. There were many glasses of different wines, red and white along with a delicious spread of meats, cheeses and their olive oil and tomato bruschetta. This was followed by a sweet dessert wine Vin Santo and cookies. This was a wonderful afternoon that I highly recommend!
