Family trip in the Tuscan hills - Everything ran smoothly from second we arrived at the meeting point. The bus was new and very comfortable. In 1 hour we arrived at the first vineyard which was nice but not great. Not exactly scenic but the people there were friendly and the wine was good. We bought a couple bottles of the sparkling wine which was very good and a bag of biscotti which were excellent. The next vineyard was much more scenic and the wine selection was better. We only had an opportunity to taste their less expensive wines, which is what I expected. It would have been great to have the opportunity to taste some of the other wines for an additional per glass cost. My family and I had a great time.

Good choice - We really enjoyed the first stop, Poggio al Laghi. Our host there, Marco was excellent. The Second stop was a beautiful vineyard. Just not as jovial of a host. Our kids did not mind being dragged along.

Wine tour - The meeting point was a little disorganised, it was hard to know where to go as there were many people waiting for wine yours at The same spot. Once on The tour though, it was a great experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and the wine was good.

Half day wine tour in Chianti - We visited 2 wineries. Both wineries had not given any details of their wine production. The wines tasted were just so-so. The snacks provided were in small quantities. Wines were not in good quality indeed. That means we paid 44 euro one person for transport only.
