We spent a week in Tuscany in March 2012, and this was definitely the best day of the week! My hubby and I joined Lesley for an entire day. The morning and early afternoon were spent cooking in her lovely little kitchen with Teresa (such a hoot -- and cheeky <although she definitely had trouble understanding the term . .... More

When you go to an area that you have never been, I feel it is so important to have someone whom you can trust and knows the area. Lesley took us to 2 vineyards that were very representative of the area and yet different from one another. What great wines as well!! We finished up our half day trip eating... More

My wife and I had the privilege of joining Lesley for a half day wine tour with lunch. We had a wonderful experience which was one of the highlights of our trip. Our first tour was of the Caparzo winery. Either by accident or on purpose, we were the only people on the property and had our own personal tour... More

Lesley is the wonderful owner of a truly professional Tour company in Tuscany - the best one! :-) I had such a lovely time on the half day tour of Tuscany that I ended up extending my stay in Tuscany (and cutting a day out of the Florence portion). Lesley even emailed us extra info about towns near the village... More

Emailed Lesley about a Gastronomic Tour. Her response was prompt and complete. She picked us up for the tour. Had a great visit to a winery, tried 14 different honey flavors and then an outstanding lunch on a Tuscan farm. We then booked a cooking lesson for the next week. Had a great lesson and learned to make pici, a... More

Lesley made our brief time in the Tuscany area worthwhile. My initial emails with questions were always answered promptly and thoroughly. We chose the half day wine and lunch tour as we were traveling from Pienza to Florence that night. Lesley herself was easy to talk to with a great sense of humor. We felt like 4 friends out for...

We booked a one day wine trip with Lesley who took us to three wineries and included an excellent lunch at one of the wineries. The weather was cold with snow the day before our tour which made planning a bit challenging for Lesley. However, she went way out of her way and was able to book three wonderful tours... More

We spent two quality days with Lesley in September. Our first day with Lesley was spent in a cooking class at a beautiful vineyard. Lesley and our instructor, Cecelia, guided us in making a wonderful meal, including the best gnocchi ever (!). After consuming the fruits of our labour, accompanied by wines from the vineyard, we travelled a short distance... More

My wife and I were given a full day Montalcino tour as a gift and had a very difficult time choosing which of the many tours to go with. The full day Montalcino seemed like it hit all the bases: food, wine, history, and was chosen wisely. Leslie picked us up in front of our hotel in Siena. While driving... More
