I really enjoyed the tour; it has a great personal feel. I would highly recommend it as a way to get a taste of the Chianti region.

This was such a delightful way to spend the afternoon. The countryside was fantastic and the castle was fascinating. After tours of the wine and olive oil cellars and the fourteenthth century castle, we got to taste four different wines with fairly well paired local food: bruschetta, meat, cheese, and biscotti. I, however, was rather disappointed that it was a huge forty person bus group that was going to the castle for the tasting. Another excellent thing, though, was that at the end we were able to see the 2007 harvest being processed direct from the field and wander through the grape-laden vines in the fields.

The tour of the castle and the history behind it was interesting. The wine tasting was very good.

I loved the wine tasting; the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The location was beautiful, and the tour was a great value for money. The trip after the wine tasting to another village was pleasant, although slightly unnecessary.

Great wine tour! Even though the group was big, the trip was very well organized. We loved the tour of the castle and cellar. The wine and snacks were fantastic. I would definitely recommend this excursion!

This was the highlight of our vacation. We enjoyed the information given by the guide on the wine and olive oil. We all sat at large tables and tasted four wines and enjoyed snacks of meat and cheese. Afterward we were given the opportunity to buy wine and olive oil. The company will ship purchases, which is very nice. After that we were given a half hour or so to shop in Greve. This is a fantastic tour, and we would recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in Tuscany.

My wife and I had a great time. The scenery was beautiful, the castle was amazing, the tour was funny and casual, and the wine was great. This was the best part of Tuscany for my wife and me, and I would recommend it to anyone. It is definitely worth the money.

This is an excellent trip. The guide was very enthusiastic, the castle was beautiful, and we had some lovely wine and a substantial snack. It is well worth the money. This is a good trip to go on if you are based in Florence but want a snapshot of the Tuscan countryside.

The highlight of my three week trip! The scenery was beautiful. The wine tasting and tour was very interesting and so well done. I met many fascinating people during the wine tasting. It could not have been better.

I booked this last minute and it was by far the best thing my boyfriend and I did on our trip. The landscape was breathtaking and the tour amazing, not to mention the wine!! We both loved it.

This was a great day trip from Florence. Everything was well planned, and well executed. I wish we had also planned the trip to Sienna!

I loved this trip! My wife and I had such a great time. The Chianti was wonderful, and we took four bottles back with us! The bus ride is a little long, and I would recommend eating lunch prior to the trip. We sampled the wine with a taste of bread and had the opportunity to walk the grounds at our leisure, which was really a treat. We also got to stop at a local town to eat and/or do a little shopping, but we really needed more time there. The tour guide was wonderful and was very informative.
