We had a fabulous wine tour and really enjoyed Matteo’s narratives about the region. The small vineyard we had lunch at was the true highlight of our two week adventure throughout Italy. I cannot recommend this tour enough!
We had an amazing time with our host Giovanni. He was incredibly knowledgeable of the Chianti region, as well as an in depth knowledge of many wine regions throughout the world. He described the process and evolution of wine making over time, and described the many microclimates that effect the region. We went to three very different wineries -all amazing in their own way, and enjoyed a lovely meal together. There was no shortage of conversation, and the time was very well spent. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in sampling some of this regions fine wines. Thank you! ??????????
Best day of my Italy trip. We went to 3 different wineries each with their own distinct feel and speciality. The wine and food was amazing. Our tour guide Niccolo was the best. As an aspiring sommelier and local, he brought additional context and insights that made the trip so much better. He was more knowledgeable about wine than the staff at the wineries. Awesome day.
Booking a tour online is always a risk, so when we saw our young tour guide Niccolo, our first thought was that he couldn’t possibly have much knowledge- but boy were we wrong! Not only was he cute and gracious, he possessed a wealth of information about wine and could answer any questions. He had actually worked at a winery and was studying to become a sommelier. The wineries we visited were all great and the lunch was wonderful - to say the owner was entertaining is an understatement. It was a great day.
