From Florence: Chianti Classico 2-Winery & Monteriggioni Tour

what a wonderful time we had, the meeting point was easy to reach by tram from the centre. our guide Leonardo was welcoming and informative on our journey to the wineries. Both venues were lovely, the wines were very nice and even gluten free food for me, our hosts were fun and friendly, and the more wine we drank the more the group chatted and laughed, a great atmosphere. To end the tour in the beautiful hilltop village was perfect, time enough to stroll with a Limoncello spritz and buy some items. we had a sing on the way home, the whole trip was a lovely way to meet new people, would recommend.

Marta was a fantastic and funny tour guide! She kept us engaged, informed and entertained during the bus journey. The day trip was great value for money, and allowed us to soak in the scenery of Tuscany in just one afternoon. The tour was well timed for golden hour, and allowed for great photo opportunities at the last stop. The winery visits were well organised and well paced. The bus transfer was very comfortable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the Tuscan countryside as a day trip!

The first vineyard we went to was amazing. They were extremely informative and took the time to explain their wine process to us. The second vineyard was extremely rushed, our guide left the room from almost 15 minutes before coming back in, and barely communicated with us. We were also supposed to have a tour of the vineyard itself and explain the winemaking process, which neither vineyard did. Additionally, the tour guide on the bus, barely spoke, and did not come up to the second tier to speak with any of us except count the number of people on the bus. We asked several times to have air-conditioning put on in the upper tier, but were ignored. It took over three times for them to finally turn on the air, and it was as if the bus driver was passive aggressive and turned up the air at full blast for the rest of the trip.

Great tour! We started by getting a 45 minute coach to the first location and had some amazing wine and food. We then moved on 15 minutes to the next vineyard and had more great wine and food. Both places we got multiple wines, balsamic vinegars and oils to try. After, we got to spend 45 minutes in a cute walled town with amazing views before heading an hour back to the meeting point.

What an amazing afternoon and early evening! Our guide, Marco was such a treat with so much information on the history of the area and the wineries we visited. Both wineries were a delight. Great tastings, great energy. The balsamic and olive oil sampling was amazing too. We had a fantastic time. It was excellent value! We purchased some wine for the next few days of our trip and even ordered some to be shipped home. Highly recommend this tour.
