We had a wonderful time at the winery. The views were spectacular. We toured the winery and had a couple of wine tastings. We enjoyed the wine so much that we ordered several bottles that just arrived (looking forward to having them soon.) We then had a delicious dinner with more wine! It was a small group of 8, 4 in our party, so it was nice to get to know the other tourists. The guide was wonderful, she got us there and back safely. I would do this tour again.
Good experience if you don't have time for a full day wine excursion

Great experience - just my husband and I and one other couple. Travel to and from the winery was perfect, the guide, Dario, was excellent. We enjoyed making the wine and learning about the process. The meal was delicious but the only negative was the guide did not join us and we would have appreciated talking to him about the wines, the food we were eating, and living in Tuscany.
Wonderful Evening!

What an amazing dinner experience. We learned so much about the science of wines and got to make our own bottle to bring home! The dinner was in absolutely the most beautiful setting in the cellar. Deliciosu foods, amazing wines, what else can you ask for!
