Fun and exciting! Everyone was really friendly and it was an overall really great trip. We particularly enjoyed the chocolate and wine pairing.

The experience of the tour was great it was the miscommunication with La Vacanza Travel that was horrible. Apparently there was no pickup available from our location never should have been offered per vendor! Vendor paid for our uber ride to a meeting spot & we paid the return to our hotel. We would like to request a refund of uber ride. Please contact me so I can send over uber receipt.

We had very generous pours from the winery’s. The chocolate and cheese pairings were great. The specific winery tour guides were very knowledgeable too. Unfortunately we did not get to go to one of the wineries listed (De Iuliis) I am not sure why this was. This was listed on the itinerary and we were looking forward to this place. We were not told why we didn’t go here. The driver is a driver only - no extra information provided about the area. He seemed to always be in a rush and was happy that he was getting an “early mark”. A great small group however and you can easily get to know people. In comparison to other winery tours we’ve done it is average for its price.
