We took the Montelcino tour with Rebecca. The small group, 8 of us, makes for a very personal experience. Rebecca is personable, knowledgeable and a whole lot of fun. The small, organic wineries on our particular tour were a treat to visit. We were able to have wine shipped back to the States with ease. more

This tour was highly recommended to my husband and I, we were a little surprised by how spendy is was but based on the reviews and recommendations we decided to try it. We took the Slow Chianti Tour and it was definitely slow moving. We spent a fair amount of time in the van traveling from place to place. The... more

Great Day!

We booked a private Taste of Tuscany food and wine tour with Ilaria. We had a wonderful day tasting foods and wines. The guide was knowledgeable and it gave us a chance to see Italy outside the city in some of the more rural areas. Lunch was fantastic. Would highly recommend this tour! more

My wife and I just returned from our first excursion to Italy and one of the highlights of the entire trip was our Chianti Classico tour with Rebecca. She did a great job of introducing us to multiple wine makers - each with a different approach to their craft. Rebecca was amenable and thoughtful (I had a lot of questions)... more

We went on the Chianti wine tour with Rebecca and it was amazing! I love that the group was small (8 people). Rebecca is very knowledgeable about wines and the regions. She was so much fun! It was very laid back and relaxing. She took us to three small wineries and we felt like we were getting special treatment -... more

When planning our trip to Tuscany, I couldn't believe the outstanding ratings the Tuscan Wine Society had for their tours on Trip Advisor. We had never heard of this organization. but everyone who spent a day with them wrote these rave reviews. Although a tour seemed a bit expensive, especially with the dollar/euro conversion, we decided that all of these... more

My wife and I have had the privilege of traveling to Italy regularly for the past several years now. One of the most memorable and marvelous experiences we've shared is our day spent with Rebecca of the Tuscan Wine Society on Thursday, October 8, 2009. We have enjoyed many Italian varietals over the years, but a fine Brunello is always... more

We had a great time on our Slow Chianti Tour, where we visited the Castelare winery, Dario Cecchini's butcher shop for a delicious lunch and a sheeps' milk dairy. A certain amount of flexibility is helpful, as the time and location of the meeting place changed, as well as the itinerary: instead of an olive oil tasting, we had some... more

We did the Chianti Classico tour with Rebecca and three other young couples and it was an excellent experience. Rebecca's knowledge of Italian wines is very profound, and she explains everything a way that both novices and experienced wine-o's can appreciate. more

We want the truth. Just some notes about this company: few weeks ago a tour managed by this company has been stopped bythe Italian Police ("Carabinieri"). As several articles published in the news reported, they got several huge penalties because they had not the required licences to run tours and any insurance, as prescribed by european and italian laws. After... more

Management response from
TuscanWineTours, manager

As most Italians know, the Italian laws are endless and full of loopholes. Certain professions don't even exist in the books and thereby have to be invented by young entrepreneurs in the best possible way, thus finding a path to make their businesses function to provide the best possible services and, obviously, for insurance and taxation purposes. Unfortunately, free competition...
