We were with a group with 3 other couples and absolutely had a blast. One of the best things we have done in Italy so far. Our driver was very knowledgeable and fun! Wine was delicious and dinner was great!

Tuscany Wine Making Experience and Gourmet Dinner from Florence

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??

We had a group of 7 people ages ranged from 14-80. Everyone had the best time. Learning about the olive oil process was so interesting as well as how they make wine. The dinner afterwards was absolutely delicious. We couldn’t have had a better time. Our tour guide was outstanding as well.

Worth the cost/Excellent

We so enjoyed this tour. It was informative, fun, and the wines and oils we tried were some of the best we have tried in Italy! Our group was very diverse and we all had a great time getting to know each other. Much was learned about the processes of wine and olive oil production in this beautiful place and our tour guide was so warm and passionate. So glad I found this tour!!

Great Wine and Great Food

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.
