Back in the farm, you will have a wonderful lunch based on the truffle you found in the woods. Extra virgin olive oil and traditional Chianti Classico wine will accompany your lunch with a guide that will explain all the procedure of oil and wine production, showing all the phases of the work.

We took a private tour of two incredible vineyards in Montalcino while on our honeymoon. Gaia was our tour guide and was absolutely incredible! Her knowledge of the wine industry and outgoing personality made this one of the best experiences of the trip. We will absolutely be recommending this tour to our friends and are excited to come back and explore more of Tuscany with Tuscany Private Tours.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Castel Montalcino and enjoyed the view from the property a lot. It was especially nice as we could benefit from a private tour. We‘d definitely recommend it as a drive-by tour, thanks again for the hospitality!

Despite the financial difficulties of these times we received a refund this month and found the company very amenable and willing to bring to Florence the good reputation it deserves.

Our day began with a tour of a beautiful Brunello winery. We learned about the grapes then had an amazing tasting of wines. From there we went to a different Brunello winery where we had a luscious lunch paired with wines. Our next stop was at a saffron grower where we tasted saffron in many forms.

Only 7 people and the tour was by Van. The driver guided us during the drive but no guide joined us at our stop in Castellina. Professional presentations at the wineries. Especially at Poggio Amorreli with Andrea where we were treated with Spumante, one white and two red Chianti and one supertuscan. We also got bread, cheese, salami with their own balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The driver called for a taxi upon arrival in Florence ????
