Very nice wine tastings and winery tours. Excellent wines are well presented and served with great traditional Italian cheeses, salami, and breads. Very pleasurable way to spend the day.

We chose this tour to find good quality Chianti wineries near Florence and it was rally unexpected being so welcomed in three niche historic wine estates on the hills of Chianti Colli Fiorentini. Each winery produces a limited range of high quality wines with different characteristics, reds, rosés and also sparkling wines, all very good and we are happy that we ordered some in each winery. The wine esperience at each of those producers' was amazing, we learned much and were immerse in the Tuscan history and in the history of the wine making. We recommend this immersive unique one-day wine experienc to all the wine lovers!
