Hidden but delicious gem of Tuscany - We booked this tour and tasting quite last minute but it ended being the best hidden gem. We learned about Chianti Classico and what makes it so unique. Enjoyed our walk through all the barrels as well as our lunch paired with the tastings. Absolutely fantastic experience and even shipped some wine back to Aus. Would definitely recommend

Excellent wine tour and tasting, highly recommended! - What a hidden gem! We booked the wine tour and tasting last minute based on finding somewhere open and available and we struck gold! Really fantastic and personal tour with fascinating information on the wine growing and processing and a very warm and welcoming guide! Then we did wine tasting with some delicious nibbles from the local area. Can't recommend this enough, definitely worth a visit!

Maravillosa Casa Sola - "A wonderful experience in this charming winery Casa Sola de Chianti! We got a little lost on arrival, but the team was incredibly friendly and patient, waiting for us with a smile to start the tour. From the moment we arrived, Alexandro made us feel at home. The passion and knowledge of the wine they shared with us made the visit even more special. We not only enjoy exquisite wines, but also the genuine hospitality that characterizes Tuscany. Highly recommended!" Grazie Mille.

Terrible - During our trip to Florence my husband lost his wallet. I called Viator and the actual vineyard to ask for a cancellation refund. I explained we were in distress over the issue at hand and they refused a refund because it was same day. They were not sympathetic to the circumstances at all. We spent 16 days traveling around Italy and booked many tours with Viatour. We are very disappointed and not satisfied with the outcome. I can say that I will most likely never use them again

AGRESSIVE OWNER - AVOID THIS WINERY - The owner does not care about the guest experience or providing quality or even good products to the guests for meals and snacks, only about making sales and often lying during the tours to achieve them. The hospitality at this place is severely lacking. Employees are mistreated, yelled at in front of clients, the owner is very aggressive!! I strongly urge others not to support this business, which mistreats its employees and takes advantage of tourists seeking a pleasant wine experience.
