We were in Florence for a work meeting and decided to take a day trip to Tuscany and taste wine. We booked just the afternoon before. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and our conversation with Luca. Our lunch at the winery was spectacular and a highlight of our whole trip. The views were amazing, the wine fantastic and the homemade pasta perfection! I would highly recommend!

Luca is so fantastic! We did a private transfer from Siena to Rome stopping at PIenza and Montepulciano. Luca is so knowledgable about Italy and shares so many interesting facts. We had a great time. Thank you Luca!

One of the highlights of our trip. Such a wonderful day. Our tour guide was very kind and made sure the long drive was entertaining. And stopped at the best places. Both wineries were amazing. The owners were very accommodating and made us feel very special.
