This was the highlight of our time in Florence. The first portion of the trip included a meaningless stop in a small village with a nice view of the countryside. We could have skipped this, but it was probably a built in time cushion for arrival at the castle. The actual tour guide was so longwinded on her commentary on the bus that we were all just hoping she would take a deep breath and stop for a moment or two. The castle and the wine and olive oil tour was conducted by a member of the family who took a notable interest and pride in his product. This was really a nice touch. The wine and appetizers we tasted at the end of the tour were the finishing touches. We had great wine and amazing olive oil! Florence would have been a complete bust were it not for this tour!

This was one of our favorite experiences in Florence. The trip to Castellio in Trebbio was fantastic and is highly recommended. The place is beautiful and the story behind the property is amazing.

Our guide on the bus was wonderful and interesting. At the Castle we were lucky to see the inside of the house as well as the wine cellar, giving us a better understanding of life in this area. It was a great trip with great wine and was a lot of fun. I would go again.

We were a party of six and traveled from Rome to Florence to view the Italian countryside and experience a wine tasting from the Tuscany region. We had an outstanding experience and thoroughly enjoyed the entire day.

We would do it again in a heartbeat. The tour guide was the best I've had, and I've taken a lot of these short half day trips in other countries, some of which were to the wine country.

This was a GREAT tour! There was an amazing vinyard and castle, and the wine tasting and snacks were very good and generous. The tour bus was nice, and the guide was very informative and friendly. This was a great way to see the Tuscan countryside without having to figure out train and bus schedules and was a great value for the money!

I have always wanted to see some of the Tuscany region. In a limited time, this tour allowed us that opportunity and also gave us the chance to taste some local wine. The people running the tour and those at the winery were extremely friendly and helpful.

My husband and I were on our honeymoon and love wine and learning more about it, so we were very happy with the Chianti tour. The castle and vineyard and all the surrounding area were beautiful. Our guide and the guide at the castle were both very informative. It was definitely worth the day away from Florence. We would do it again in a second. Thanks!

This tour was amazing and beyond beautiful. The tour guide was a pleasure to listen to. She is very entertaining and helpful, and you can tell she loves her job. She was truly a delight to be around, and the castle and its tour guide were amazing as well. I would do the tour again!

The tour guide at the castle was outstanding. We learned quite a bit, and the tasting was wonderful. The drive through the countryside there and back was beautiful, and the guide who spoke along the way was a local and knew a lot of history about the area. Great afternoon, and back in time for supper!
