It would be great if we could have a whole bottle of wine per couple and maybe walk the vineyards next time. It was so quick, but the time there was magic. I think there should be at least another half hour. Music in the patio would have set the mood as well.

The castle we visited was amazing, mainly because it had a wonderful story behind it. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! I loved the views from the bus and from the winery. The tasting and snacks were great. My husband and I enjoyed this time away from all the big cities we had been visiting on our trip. I would do it again!

I really enjoyed this trip and so did the rest of my group. We had a blast, it was one of the best wine tastings I've ever been to.

Great tour. It was REALLY hard finding the meeting point, though.

I was a bit skeptical - all the reviews of this trip were so fantastic that I was sure the bad ones had been left off the website. But after experiencing it, I have not a single complaint. I was afraid we wouldn't have enough wine tasting opportunities, but in addition to the castle, we found a little wine shop in Greve that had plenty of wine to taste, with yummy appetizers. Going into the countryside was well worth it. It was exactly like the movies - breathtaking! And while the tour group was large, everyone was very fun, and the crowd was well handled by the tour company. My friend and I both think this was the highlight of our three city trip to Italy.

The wine-tasting tour in Chianti was a great experience. It was a great value for the money. The meeting place was easy to find and left right on time. I'd advise you to arrive a little early, as everyone else did. Don't buy any wine or olive oil at the vineyard. One of the bottles I purchased was bad! After the tour and lunch, you go to a small town nearby called Greve. There are a few small shops and liquor stores in this town where you can get a better deal. Have fun!

My sisters and I absolutely loved the wine tour and excursion to this enchanting castle and winery. The owners were lovely, and gave us a personal tour and tasting. The views were spectacular and the ride through the Tuscan countryside was enjoyable and relaxing. Well worth it!

The region was beautiful, but the real gem was the history of the castle and the stories behind the wine and olive oil. It was a great experience and definitely worth it. The wine tasting was fantastic!

The coach was really comfortable, the guides great with good dialog, the views were wonderful and it was so nice to get out into the countryside. We did stop briefly in a little town and had 3 different wines at the chateau. Really nice way to spend an afternoon.

We throughly enjoyed the Chianti wine tour. Traveling in the comfort of a double-decker bus was a great way to see the countryside, and leave the driving up to the professionals. The family-owned winery and castle was a highlight, and the scenery from their grounds was spectacular. This trip is a good value and a fun experience.
