Great time driving through the Italian countryside - We have nothing but great things to say about our off road wine tour with Gabriel! It was great to drive around the country side in a 70s era Defender while our guide filled us in on the rich history of the area. All wineries/farms we visted were top notch in both service and quality of wine, food, honey etc. Highly recommend this activity!

Off Road Tuscan Wine Tour Review - EXCELLENT!! - We just finished an off road Tuscan wine tour from Castellina with Gabriele and it was a highlight of our three week trip! He took us through beautiful wine country with stunning views of vineyards and olive orchards. We visited three wineries which served delicious wine in amazing settings. Gabriele was very knowledgeable in answering all of our questions- Outstanding tour in every way- a MUST DO! We had a fantastic authentic lunch served at a small vineyard - with home made Tiramisu dessert to top it off!

Wine stomping experience! - The off road, winery tour with grape stomping experience was so fun. Our guide Filippo was very knowledgeable, and charming. The winery La Piaggia was set in a beautiful location. The organic wine and lunch were fabulous.

Fun Tour of Tuscany! - We had so much fun touring the Italian Wine Region! Our tour guide, Filippo, spoke great English and was so knowledge about the wines! We had a wonderful lunch with Silvia at her family’s winery! The Land Rover was in great condition and made for a unique way of touring the area. We loved the wines so much that we even ordered some to have shipped home! Filippo helped make the process very easy. My wife and I had a blast and highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic company! Hugely recommend - We had an off-road wine tour of the Chianti region (6 hours). I could not recommend it highly enough. Leonardo, our host, was highly knowledgable and courteous and we visited 3 wineries all very different in style. At the second winery, a small family run operation, the owner Sylvia cooked us an authentic lunch overlooking the vineyards; some of the best food we have ever eaten Italy (the wild boar pappardelle was particularly memorable). Very good value for money, very authentic, cleanliness taken very seriously (the Land Rover 110 was immaculate - as was the luxury minibus that collected us from our hotel). A must do for anybody visiting the region. Just be prepared for a sleep afterwards.

100% worth every cent - I booked this tour for a group of 12 friends, it was wonderfully informative and fun. The tour guides Filipo and Paolo were very knowledgable, really funny and handled our groups shenanigans with much graciousness. They really made the tour a lot of fun. The food on this tour was some of the best I had in Italy. It is a very well rounded tour, visiting wineries of varying production capacities. We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and learned so much!

The Most Fun, Food and Ride in Italy - This wine tour was amazing! Our guide, Paola, spoke English very well, and was very knowledgeable, and experienced with wine and the growing and production of wine in this region. The jeep ride as a gas! He took us to three different wineries (large, small/family owned, and a local) and we learned so much. Tasted many great Chianti wines and learned about the quality control process and what the black rooster really means. We had a great, home cooked Italian lunch at the family-owned vineyard (cooked by the lady of the villa), outside overlooking a beautiful valley. It was so memorable. We also were able to pick a dozen wines that our guide will arrange to have sent to us in the USA. We would do this tour over and over again!

The BEST activity of our vacation! - We LOVED our tour with Daniela earlier this week! She was not only hilarious but very informative - we learned a ton about the intricacies of wine in the Chianti region. She made us all feel comfortable, and she even picked us up at our hotel in the morning. All the wines we tasted were wonderful and our family of five adults thoroughly enjoyed the day. Our favorite stop was the family-run vineyard where we ate a phenomenal lunch made with ingredients from the family's beautiful farm. Each bruschetta we tried was delicious, as were the pastas, and the chocolate salami was borderline life-changing. We didn't feel rushed at all and our tour actually ended up being six hours instead of four. Our only criticism would be that the third winery tour was a bit repetitive and could have been shortened or skipped. Thank you for everything, Daniela! We love you!
