Four of us went on a tour of the Chianti Castles, and came away forever changed. From the amazing scenery, the behind the scenes at YOUR pace tours of the 2 wineries, to the amazing wine and olive oil tasting, the very good light lunch, none of that matched our guide Vittorio's attention to customer service and his education of us "novices". And everything was simply amazing and a perfect as you could get, so that tells you a little about Vittorio's skills as a guide. Vittorio gave us more information, without being pretentious or annoying, at our pace and at our level, that anyone could hope for in a simple tour. Tour is not the correct word, it was an education and an excursion.
If you have only time for one wine "tour", make sure it is with Italy and Wine, as it was an experience that the next time we are in Italy we will be sure to repeat, as they have many other tours. I know that any friends planning trips to the area will always be given the advice to contact Italy and Wine FIRST, as I do that knowing that they will have an amazing experience as well.
THANK YOU Italy and Wine, and Vittorio, you made our stay in Florence that much more memorable!
