Guide was wonderful and... - Guide was wonderful and vehicle was clean and spacious. The food at lunch was underwhelming - expected something less like hotel food.

Wonderful full-day in Tuscany - Paula was our driver who was very friendly, knowledgeable and allowed the group quiet time during the drive back to recharge. The first stop was a quiet, small winery in Montalcino. We then toured Pienza and were recommended to check out the view behind the cathedral. The view was great but we discovered an even less obstructed view later by walking further down the main path past the cathedral and taking a right. Lunch in Pienza was good, but as another reviewer and others in our group mentioned - it is heavy so don’t load up - save room for the Montepulciano tasting room. Their tasting included cheese, truffle toast and assorted salame/sausage as well as olive oil and very wonderfully aged balsamic. Our host there was Melanie and she was genuinely friendly and I learned more about wine in a short time compared to many other wine tours. We had a great group and the experience was well worth the cost and 11-ish hours. We neither felt rushed nor felt that we were wasting time. It was perfect. Tip: Use your free time in Pienza and Montepulciano to get a quick coffee at the counter to stay energized during this all day tour.

Excellent wine tour if you are a fan of Brunello wines - Our driver and guide Simona was great. We got paired up on this tour with a couple and their 4 adult kids from Ohio. They were so outgoing and fun. They made the day even more enjoyable! The wineries chosen in this tour were outstanding as was the outdoor lunch spot overlooking the wine valley. We had a great time wine tasting and taking in the sights. Can't wait for our wine shipment to arrive. Highly recommend.

If you love Brunello wines, this is your tour!! - Not to be missed! The underground wine tasting was very interesting, as well as the museum of torture! The lunch was good with an even better view! We loved the all-female winery! Learned so much from our young host there! Very enjoyable!

Two absolutely amazing wine regions - We loved this tour. Our guide was fantastic and the two wineries we visited were quite different, but both equally fascinating. My advice is not to fill up on too much for lunch, as the afternoon wine tasting in Montepulciano also came with an incredible selection of cheeses, meats and dips. The mini-van was very comfortable and water was included.

Great Tour with great views - Our driver, Mona was excellent and gave a great tour of the area. The vineyard tour in Montalcino was excellent. They were very informative and were very passionate about their wine and vineyard. The lunch in Pienza was really good and the cellar visit in Montepulciano was interesting with a really nice cheese, meat and wine tasting spread. The only suggestion I would have is that the Montepulciano tour talked about a lot of the same winemaking stuff as the first vineyard. I would cut the cellar tour down to leave more time to visit the streets of Montepulciano.

Amazing experience in the Val D'Orica area! - Amazing semi-private day tour to Tuscany . It was a treat to have someone else do the driving and give us wonderful information about the area and places that we were about to visit. Luca, our driver did an outstanding job. The Ercolani Underground cellar where we did the tasting of 5 different Sangiovese wines and two Vin-Santos in Montepulciano was special. Melanie, our host was exceptional at explaining and educating us about the Montepulciano wine region. A wonderful morning experience not only sampling wonderful Sangiovese wines but enjoying the regional products. Our lunch in Pienza was lovely overlooking the gorgeous views of Val D'Orcia region. And you have enough time to walk this very small town full of picturesque small streets. It will take you less than 30 min to get the feel for this small Renaissance town. The visit to winery in Montalcino was interesting. And all women working winery. The Brunellos at this winery were not my favorite. It was simply a very relaxing and educational day. One will learn more by taking this journey. And the meeting point in Florence is very easy to find. Close to everything. Do not think twice and book this day journey!
