Beautiful and relaxing - We stayed at the farmhouse (Casabella) and we went horseback riding in addition to doing the wine tour and tasting. This was our second time visiting because we loved it so much...this area of Tuscany is distinct from southern Tuscany. It is extraordinarily beautiful. The air smells clean and fresh. And it is relaxing to just walk on the roads and see the vineyards.

Pictures do not do this place justice :) it is amazing! - Beautiful scenery, impressive estate, knowledgeable guide, delicious tasting of wines, meats, and cheeses! We wish Tatsu the best of luck in his winery ownership and cannot thank him enough for his communication with us before the tour and for helping us arrange transportation to and from the vineyard!

Wonderful, but Missing Elements - The tour was wonderful and our guide was very knowledgeable, making for a great experience overall. However, there was some confusion when we arrived about our group. We were dropped at the resort and not the farm, so had to trek up the hill (which was unfortunate for some with serious knee injuries) to the correct location. There are also some hills/steps included in the tour, so be wary if you do have any guests with concerns. We had reached out in advance about adding the lunch w/pairing, which was a delicious selection - the bartender even made a delicious mocktail for our guest that could not enjoy the wine - but we ended up not receiving any tastings during the actual tour, which was supposed to be a part of our tour package. We also didn't seem to have the option to purchase a full glass of wine to enjoy during lunch, which would have helped us decide on any bottles to purchase. Nonetheless, the staff was very accommodating and helpful, and this was a wonderful day trip out of Florence, but we were confused about not receiving our full package.

Unfortunately did not get what was agreed and paid for in advance - The services described and paid for on TripAdvisor, such as salami, pecorino or ham, were not served.
