Tuscan Vineyard Tours provided an unbelieveable experience for my wife and I. Beautiful Roman ruins, exquisite Italian Villas, small unique wineries and wine tours that are not availble to the public. The Wineries were exceptional and Carlotta clearly had a personal relationship with the families. Outstanding food everywhere we went and plenty of time to get to know some locals. I highly recommend this tour company for both first time Tuscany tourists and experienced wine lovers looking for a more personal experience.

Having visited Tuscany previously, we wanted a deeper, richer experience of the area and Tuscan Vineyard Tours gave it all to us and more. Combining wine tastings at the vineyards, delicious meals in beautiful settings, and then filling our minds with breath-taking cultural sites - it was all such an awesome time to even now remember. It is a memory we cherish and hope to go back to again. We highly recommend Tuscan Vineyard Tours!

Tuscan Vineyard Tours was unlike any wine tours my husband and I had ever been on. Along with seeing the marvelous little hill towns and having fabulous food, this tour turned out to be so much more. We got to meet and ask a blue million questions at each winery. Each was so different and we learned so much about the different processes,types of wines, why these chose the type of grapes that were grown etc. We got to walk through the actual vineyards and learn about how to choose which grapes to use, etc. All the tours were so intimate and we tasted many great wines and ate great food. I really think anyone who is at all interested in wine will just love touring with Carlotta, who has such knowledge of the wine industry and can speak Italian fluently along with English ( a big plus)

Sam and his wife were the rudest people that I have ever met. We had to cancel our tour because of the Coronavirus. We were told there are no refunds for epidemics. I will never book through Tuscan Vinyards ever again. Also their prices were double what everyone else was. Do your research and stay away from these people at all costs.

Vinyard tours are numerous in Tuscany, but a tour with an extremely unique and tasty meal as well as a visit to an icredible deli and a side trip to an olive oil processor, was way off the charts. Carlota makes you feel as though you are her cousin and she helping you wade through the sensory overload that is Tuscany. This was a bargain at twice the price!

This Sicily Wine Tour organized by Tuscan Vineyard Tours was fabulous. All aspects of the tour, planning, wineries, food, accommodations, transportation, historical sites were first class. Our tour organizers Carlotta and her husband Sam did a great job. It helped that they spoke Italian. My friend Erik who was with us and who knows wines extremely well was most helpful. We had a total of 11 in our group (including Carlotta and Sam). We visited six wineries. We had a chance to meet the owners and wine makers of all the wineries. I would not hesitate to do another tour with Tuscan Vineyard Tour.

Contact Carlotta no matter what your interests are. She will make your tour exactly what you love! She had arranged a wonderful itinerary ahead of time and was flexible when we had already toured the vineyard she had planned for us! So we toured Luca and other areas and had a wonderful lunch followed by an authentic wine tour from vine to vino! Delightful people! She was able to speak fluent Italian as well as English! Best wines tasted Becoucini! 4th generation family owned and operated!

What a wonderful tour and the meal and wines were outstanding. It is now crush in this area so we were able to see the process they use to make the wines. Three wines with lunch (not just a sample either), one white and two reds. We love red wine and usually stick to California, but there wines were outstanding.

Sept. 2014. We had a wonderful time! The guest house at the villa was a perfect place to headquarter, with great facilities and beautiful views out over the ocean. The historic property itself presented many interesting hikes and experiences. Carlotta and Sam are extremely knowledgeable in the history of the area, the language, wine, and art. We were particularly impressed that we were able to tailor the visit to meet our interests and timing. It was action packed, but relaxing. Their personal knowledge and relationships with numerous vineyards made the trip very special and personal, unlike one might experience in a larger group. They managed hotel & tour reservations in Rome, guided us, took care of car rental and then took us to the guest house at the villa. We took an overnight trip to Florence as well. They know restaurants, vineyards, shop owners, and villages we would never have found on our own, and probably not on a larger group tour. We were able to shop for groceries and eat in at the guest house as we wished, and to change plans as we desired. We were with them for just over two weeks, and there is very little, if anything, we would do differently.

First of all, I can honestly say that this is hands down the most phenomenal wine tour you can take in Tuscany. It is run by an American-Italian lady named Carlotta and she is incredibly knowledgeable. She kindly accommodated us on extremely short notice and took my boyfriend and I on a tour to wineries and introduced us to "hidden gems" that we would never have otherwise tried. The wines were exceptional and the experience was one of the highlights of our trip. Carlotta and her husband extended us such incredible hospitality, we felt like old friends by the end of the day. Carlotta even arranged to have all of our wines shipped for us which was a huge advantage after purchasing various wines from a multitude of places. I would take another tour with Carlotta in a heartbeat. The wineries are breathtaking and the tastings are generous and well-worth the time, particularly if you want a schooling in excellent tuscan wines particularly from the Bolgheri region. Phenomenal!!

Hello - we can work around your dates. September is a great time to be in Italy. The tour can be customized. Just let us know the number of people the dates, area of Tuscany that you would like to be in (i.e. Florence&Chianti, Bolgheri and Maremma coast, Montalcino, Pienza, Siena etc) and we can quote day or overnight tour!
