Had a fantastic time on the Ciao Florence Chianti Wine Tour! - Amazing views, great wine and food tasting, and very knowledgeable Italian Sommeliers and wine makers! We so enjoyed getting out of the city and seeing some of the Tuscan countryside. Highly recommend this experience!

Wine novices enjoyed! - The first vineyard at Tenuta Torciano is truly an incredible experience, the passion and life of wine is evident. We’ve never been on a wine tour before, but enjoyed it thoroughly.

Fun wine day - Your was very accommodating as we were traveling with a 20 month old who needed a car seat for the hour long drive. The winery were beautiful and directors were very knowledgeable. Thank you for a great day!

Great experience! - Great experience. Definitely worth it and nice vineyards. Everyone was really lovely. Could do with pouring slightly more wine … but even if they did I’d probably still say the same!

It was a nice trip from... - It was a nice trip from Florence to see the countryside in Tuscany. It is a large bus but everything was well organized. We got three small tastings at each vineyard. The snacks were a slice of cheese, salami, and a cracker were pretty small.

Mixed review - Finding the starting point was difficult. The drive into the hills was lovely. The first of the 2 wineries we visited was about a 2 on a scale of 10. It was rustic, but the people were friendly. The goat farm part was a little weird and very smelly. The second winery was outstanding. The grounds were immaculate, the tasting room we were in was beautifully decorated. The wines and appetizers that accompanied them were very tasty. The “host” was outstanding. I would have given 5 stars if it were only rated on the second place.

Wineries nice but tour guide lacking - Both wineries were wonderful. Unfortunately our “English” speaking bus tour guide was not well versed in English. Additionally she was not capable of explaining more about the Tuscan region and points of interest enroute or return from the wineries. Much was lost because of that. Her mispronounced words and staggered speech pattern were annoying and confusing. Nothing of interest or significance was learned. I applaud her ability to be multilingual but the folks on the bus were disappointed with her English.

What we expected - It was a great day for a tour, no pressure to buy products, the first vineyard was well appointed serving us a light snack to pair with the 4 wines we sampled. But pricey.
2nd vineyard not as upscale as the first with wine not nearly as good.
Nathan our tour guide, was very informative of the day along with a sense of humour.

pass - The second vineyard was absolutely lovely but the first was shocking. It was someone’s dirty farm and cellar. Nothing aesthetically pleasing.
