Was in Italy for 2 months and this was by far the most memorable. My wife and I still talk of it everyday and wish we were there. Vincenzo was great, the wines amazing, grappa was awesome and the beauty of this place was what I imagine heaven looks like... a la salute to Vincenzo and all the staff, we... More

This was the only winery to charge for a tasting and you only got to try 4 wines. I understand that its a big company, but when you are competing with 1000 other wineries that let you try all their wine for free its hard to go back to the one that charges 5 euro per tasting. The wine was... More

On tour through Tuscanny we staid at Viscine. There we met Vincenzo. We were lucky that he had the time to give us an extensive tour through the winery, explaining the process to make top wines. Vincenzo is incredible, he knows everything about wine and is very committed to making quality wines. After tasting the wines we were impressed by... More

We were in the Chiani area in May 2011, and we had a lovely visit at Vescine, from start to finish. After seeing the great reviews on TripAdvisor, I emailed to arrange a tour, and Andrea emailed me back promptly and was very friendly and accommodating to our schedule. When we arrived at Vescine, we were warmly welcomed, given an... More

The Vescine hotel/wine store is about 2 km from the villa we rented and we stopped in for a wine tasting. Vincenza was great AND FUN! As a winemaker, he knows his stuff. However, even more important, he knows people and how to help guests have a great time. We ordered three cases of the Riserva to be shipped home!... More

This is by far one of my favorite locations to visit for tasting and experiencing the feel of a typical Chianti borgo. The staff is very friendly and the atmpophere both inside and outside in the tasting room is very special. Vincenzo, who is the brand manager for Vescine, is often there to greet the guests and with pride present... More

Went here based on trip advisor recommendations. Wish we had not wasted our time. The tour was terribly disorganized and short. Basically sit you down let you sample sub-par wines and then try to sell them to you. I went on several wine tours over the last week, and this one is the only one I don't recommend. More

The highlight of our week in Tuscany! The wine is great, the nearby restaurant a scrumptious lunch and the winemaker Vincenzo a charming and knowledgeable delight. We were a group of 10 and everyone of us walked away form the visit feeling the same way - do not miss this experience! More

We flew into Pisa airport on 4th of May 2011 and stayed in San Donata. We were looking for a wine tour that was detailed, fair on price and informative. Vescine was fantastic!!! For 10 Euro's, we had a tour around the winery and got to sample lots of lovely wine. You cannot get any better wine in the world... More
