visited winery -- Castello Il Palagio (Chianti) last week. Ana, the wine-maker walked us through the winery in a relaxed, leisure and yet professional way and we (at least I) learned more about wine after the tour! Then came the enjoyable part where we relaxed on a table under the "sun of Tuscany" (covered but open-spaced) and mingled with other... More

This tour is very worth the cost and the time! Very personal attention and VIP treatment at each establishment we visited. Our tour guide was very friendly, proud, and knowledgeable about Florence and the importance of the foods to this culture. Each vendor was so kind, took time to sit with us, provide food and beverages, and really give us... More

Here's the way to taste the best of Florence, from espresso to truffles to cheese to olive oil to wine and so much more. The Florence Tasting guides are experts, having passed the most rigorous of tests to be a Florence guide. We ventured to the top of the Duomo, through the Accademie, and down back streets on our adventures.... More

If given a chance would definetely return back to florence and visit more places. Felt like we made a mistake just staying there for6days,should have stayed for more than a week there as it is close by to Luca, Pisa and the vine yard in tuscany. It is actually more romantic than venice and more friendly than rome, more shopping... More

Cantina Pitti at 16, piazza Pitti, offers an incredible wine tasting experience. Very knowledgable sommelier , a good selection of wines (12 samples) and also 5 local cheeses. A picturesque wine cellar with lively discussion and anecdotes about local vineyards. The fee is reasonable and this cantina is walking distance in central Florence. More

The Florence wine and cheese tasting tour was by far the best wine tasting my husband and I have ever gone to. The person running the tour, Zeno, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining. I would highly recommend the tour. I really feel that we got more than our moneys worth. Zeno is absolutely fantastic. More

It was so much fun and more than a wine and cheese tasting. Along with the wine and cheese, you are served meat and bread. It was almost like a small dinner. And so good. I ended up buying a case of the wine. I would highly recommend this activity. More

I arranged this Wine & Chocolate Tour for myself & my nieces since we all enjoy chocolate & I like wine w/chocolate. Serena, our guide, was very informative about the chocolates and the samplings were very generous - 6 different chocolates followed by gelato. My only complaint was that there was only 1 sweet wine served and I expected to... More

One of the most beautiful cities in Italy. Strolling along the streets of Florence you will find the sights, smells and sounds breathtaking. If you love sculptures, art, and gelato you will instantly fall in love with this city. More

Our wine and cheese tasting event in Florence was truly fantastic. If was the final event of a wonderful but full week of sight-seeing and dining in Tuscany for our family. I think all six of us entered the evening tired and a little skeptical about what we were getting into. We all enthusiastically called it one of the best... More
