This tour is everything it says it is. A drive through the beautiful hillsides of Tuscany into a Tuscany winery hidden in the hills of Tuscany. Our winery also included olive oil and bread as well as all varieties of wine tasting. The dinner topping off the evening was indeed a gourmet experience and we even “designed” our own personal recipe (proportions (Sangiovese, Cabernet, Merlot, etc. ) to craft our own bottle which we were able to take home. (We enjoyed it in Amalfi as we were traveling the next day). Even better were the bottles of our favorites that we shipped home to the States. They make it so easy to do and it’s worth it. Our guide was knowledgeable and so engaging. We learned so much as well as enjoyed the “wine making” and meal. Do this tour if you have a chance!!! On the ride back, our guide even dropped us back near our AirBnb. What more can you ask for??
