Our private wine and cheese tour was expertly guided by Matteo. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the tour and Matteo made the experience much more enjoyable by being able to bridge the language gap and be a wealth of knowledge about the region. This tour enabled us to visit a part of Tuscany that would be difficult to access on our own. We visited a small working farm, witnessed cheese being made, saw the different livestock, and were served a delicious lunch by the family. Our tour was completed with a visit to a winery with a long history. Should we return to this region of Italy we will be utilizing this tour company again. We have made recommendations to all of our friends

We absolutely loved the San Gimignano wine tour with our lovely guide Shiva. From the first moment we stepped inside our van, she engaged us with interesting facts of Florence, wine country,San Gimignano, and the basics of Italian wine. We had such a fabulous time and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Italy.

We had a phenomenal day with our guide Shiva!! She took us through the medieval town of San Gimignano where we learned about the interesting history and stopped for a delicious gelato at an award winning gelateria along the way. She then took us to a small family run winery for a more intimate experience, where they served us an incredible lunch. The owner of the vineyard was so passionate about his craft, which made the experience so much more special. We especially loved this vineyard as it was a place we never would have found on our own. Lastly, we stopped at a different larger winery with views overlooking a beautiful vineyard. Shiva was so fun to talk to throughout the day and was an absolute joy to be with!! She took lots of beautiful photos and videos of us as well. We feel so lucky to have gotten Shiva as our guide, her sunny personality made for a spectacular day. We cannot recommend this tour enough!!

This tour was exceptional. Matteo, the tour guide, was fantastic and super knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed the 2 wineries selected for the tour. San Gimignano was beautiful and worth the stop. We were fortunate the be on the tour with only one other couple making the experience seem like a private tour. Highly recommend this tour.
**The stop at Corbucci winery was one of the highlights of our entire European vacation!

Andrea Colato was exceptional! His expertise in Tuscany wines was truly impressive. Andrea was not only personable and engaging but also made us feel incredibly welcome. He showed genuine interest in learning about us and our culture, while passionately sharing his deep knowledge of the local wines. We visited two wineries and enjoyed numerous tastings, each enhanced by his thoughtful insights. We highly recommend him—100%! You will not be disappointed.

My friends and I had the absolute best day ever. We were able to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside, stopping at San Gimignano, visiting 2 wineries all the while learning and laughing. Our wonderful guide, Andrea, was simply the best. He shared his knowledge in a way that allowed us to learn, ask questions and enjoy lots of fun throughout the day. He went above and beyond!! I would highly recommend this tour especially if you are lucky enough to have Andrea as your guide. Mille Grazie!!

This day has been the highlight of our trip so far.
Matteo was superb - very knowledgeable about all wine and not just those we tasted today.
We were picked up on time and had a pleasant drive to San Gimignano for an hour's visit - nice stroll around a beautiful village on our own.
The first vineyard was great, lovely meal, tasted 5 wines and had a tour of the winemaking area.
The second vineyard was also good with an informative tour which included a further 3 wines to taste.
Overall, our day was brilliantly led by Matteo (a trained sommelier) and we would thoroughly recommend it.

An absolute gem of an experience! Matteo was our guide and he was exceptionally warm and friendly as well as extremely knowledgeable about wines and the region. He shared many details about both in addition to the state of olive cultivation, some history about San Gimignano, and just about anything we asked about! He interacted wonderfully with the hosts of the two wineries that we visited and gave some detailed explanations of the processes used to create the various wines. His ability to adjust the tastings to our individual levels while keeping them fun an interesting made the day so memorable! Our hosts were also so gracious and took wonderful care of us. Lunch was great as well. The whole day ended up being the highlight of our trip to Italy and one we will be talking about for years!
