My wife and I had a great experience with our guide. We set up a private tour of Montepulciano with Italy and Wine. Vittorio (the President of Italy and Wine) planned everything out including two wine tours and a light lunch in Montepulciano. The guide picked us up from our hotel in Florence and drove us directly to the first winery. He kept us both engaged and entertained during the car ride through Tuscany sharing with us his love of the food and wine in the Region. We had a perfect day and enjoyed visiting a modern winery, a delicious light lunch and walk through Montepulicano, and a visit to a small family winery. This is more expensive than a group tour but a great value given the personal attention. Highly recommended for a couple visiting Tuscany looking for an unforgettable experience with zero hassles.

My wife scheduled this tour with Vittorio as a surprise anniversary gift for me on our trip to Italy. I could not have been more impressed. Everything was professional, and the experience of our guide was evident in every aspect of the trip. He arrived on-time to pick us up, and brought us some very useful hand-made pamphlets to help our discussion during the 1.5 hour car trip from Florence to Montepulciano. Vittorio explained the various different types of wine from the region, how they are categorized, and the subtle nuances of each type. This was so helpful, since we are mostly familiar with California wines and not Italian wines. This conversation and background really paid off during the tasting. We visited two small wineries -- one before lunch and one after lunch. The tours themselves were very personal and private -- we were the only ones. Never once did I feel rushed or pressured, which is common of some of the wine trips I've been on in Napa Valley. The wines themselves were top-notch, this being another sign that Vittorio really did his homework before the trip. We had lunch in a nice little restaurant in the village and, again, Vittorio handled everything and it was great. All in all this was a very special experience, and one that I will remember forever. Vittorio's diligent planning, expertise, and professionalism showed through in everything we did. I would definitely choose Vittorio's service again and would recommend this service to anyone.
