Wine Tour! - Luca absolutely went above and beyond on our tour! This was my fourth trip to Italy, and after many tours, I can honestly say he was the best guide we’ve ever had. He made the experience fun, informative, and unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Luca, for such an incredible day!

Wine tasting experience for the family - Our guide and driver Matteo was knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. He spoke excellent English and was flexible with our itinerary. He coordinated a lovely wine tasting in Montalcino that included a delicious lunch. We had time to walk around Pienza and Montepulciano as we opted not to do a second winery. There were times available for coffee breaks and shopping. We saw beautiful scenery at a nice pace for our family.

5 start tour with an amazing tour guide! - We absolutely loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone who is considering it!
Our tour guide, Luca, picked us up at our hotel in Firenze in the morning. From there, we drove to Montipulciano to meet with Maurizio, a producer of Nobile di Montipuliciano who runs a biodynamic winery. It was harvest season, and we were delighted to see grapes being harvested and processed. Maurizio entertained us with his description of how he farms grapes, the 3 harvests, and his method for making wine. Afterward, we sample 3 different wines. We came home with bottles that will awaken memories of this special vineyard and the man behind the amazing wine.
Next, we drove to Montalcino. During the entire tour, Luca explained this history of Tuscany, Tuscan wines, and Tuscan winemaking. We learned about the Etruscans, the Val d'Orcia, the origin of pecorino made in Tuscany, the idea behind the founding and constructing of Pienza, and even where some scenes were filmed for the Gladiator movie.
At our next stop (Poggio Rubino winery), we were introduced to the winemaker's mother, Roberta. We ate a wonderful meal consisting of the best pasta and sauce we ate in Italy and a heavenly panzanella salad (both made by Roberta). We tasted 3 wines, including an early introduction to next year's release of their Brunello di Montalcino. We look forward to receiving the wines we ordered to arrive with next years Brunello so we can recall the views and special people we met at Poggio Rubino, and our day exploring the Tuscan countryside with Luca.
During our journey we also visited Pienza and Siena. Luca tries to fit in whatever his clients are interested in and is happy to divert as his clients wish. This was truly a special experience and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing experience!! - Such an amazing experience. Luca was absolutely amazing and so informative. We could not recommend this tour enough. Both wineries were excellent. The first one had a wonderful wine pairing with a light lunch with a lovely tour with the owner as well as an incredible view. The second, which was our favorite, was at a beautiful vineyard with a tasting with the owner, who was entertaining and so informative. We learned so much and enjoyed great wine and even better company. The van was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed getting to see all the sights along the way.

Wonderful Day of Wine and Country in Tuscanny - We had a wonderful afternoon with Let’s Andiamo. We had some travel issues and were almost 2 hours late. Our driver, Francesco, was very patient with us and didn’t cut back at all on the trip. We visited two wineries (Montalcino & Montepulciano) and a market in Piesa. We had a great time. Francesco was very friendly and generous with his time. Thank you Francesco!

Travels in Tuscany - We left Florence in the morning to visit Cortona and Montepulciano. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Our driver was not only safe, but very sociable with our group. We were very lucky to have Marco as our driver.

Amazing private tour from start to finish! - Our private tour with Nunzio was amazing from start to finish. We visited two family owned wineries in Montalcino and Montepulciano and each one was a completely different experience. The food, views, and of course the wines were a 5/5. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Definitely a highlight of our trip

Touring the heart & soul of Tuscany - Our tour guide was Tommasso, we were fortunate to have him for a second tour. After departing from our Villa, we travelled to Montalcino for a delightful walk through this charming town. Then we visited our first winery which included not only a tasting but also a delicious lunch. Then a lovely drive through the Tuscan countryside to a second winery that also featured tasty wine in addition to a delectable board of Italian meats and cheeses. We took this tour with family and all agreed that it was a great day in Tuscany!
