A wonderful way to spend an afternoon! The scenery is spectacular, the guides are knowledgeable, and the castle wine tasting is a great experience.

The trip was wonderful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. My only suggestion is that we could have had more time in the quaint little village after the wine tasting. Highly recommend it!!!

The date April 22nd. The time 130pm. The location Florence, Italy. There we were. My girlfriend and I standing in the pouring rain trying to find the bus for the Chianti wine tour we signed up for. Thoroughly soaked and chilled to the bone, we boarded the bus, somewhat flustered and uncomfortable. Little did we know how great of a time we had in store. From the moment we arrived at Castle Palagio things turned around. The sun came out, and there we were standing in front of this amazing castle. After a short tour of the grand place coupled with a nice explanation of their olive oil and wine making process we went in for the tasting.
And things kept on getting better. From the wine and snacks, to the wonderful people we met while sampling, Jill and I really were enjoying ourselves. So much so, we barely caught the bus back buying some wine and olive oil to take home with us. Following the castle tour, we went into this charming and picturesque town. I can't say enough how surreal this place was. It's nice to see people still live this way. It's refreshing. >All said, this tour certainly was a highlight of our trip to Italy. If you're looking for a romantic and relaxing afternoon, I highly recommend it. Words don't do it justice.

This was an excellent excursion with friendly people. The guided tour around the cellars was informative and the generous wine tasting included several wines accompanied by lovely freshly cooked garlic bread and salami. The visit to the village of Greve in Chianti afterwards was worthwhile, and it allowed people enough time to look around the shops and to buy some of the local produce. The guides on the bus and in the castle were excellent.
