This tour was a recommendation and that turned out to be the greatest gift we could have been given! This was hands down the best day of our honeymoon! We had originally booked in 2020 and Donatella was very accommodating in helping us reschedule over 2 years later! And wow, was it worth the wait!! It was just my husband and I on the tour and we truly felt like VIPS. The wineries Donatella picked were so lovely - no commercial, overrun wineries here! Each winery was a small, typically family run establishment. We had to opportunity to meet the owners and even sit down with them and chat while we tasted their delicious wine - which we shipped home from every place we went! Lunch was so delicious and special as well. We went in November when they pick all the olives and we even got to see an olive oil press in production! I truly can't say enough great things about this tour, but all you need to know is BOOK IT! You won't regret it, I promise. Our day with Donatella is the first thing we mention when people ask about our honeymoon. It was absolutely a one of a kind experience. We love having our wine back home in the states and getting to relive this wonderful day all over again! I can't wait to rebook when we return some day. Grazie mille, Donatell!

Donatella is an amazing guide! It seems that she knows everyone in the Italian wine business. My wife and I spent two days with her, one on her Chianti tour and one on her Montalcino tour. Compared to a previous trip where my wife and I arranged our own tours, I would highly recommend Donatella instead. She excels at connecting you with smaller, family-owned wineries that provide an authentic, personable experience (and great wine!). We plan to connect with Donatella again if our travels bring us back to Italy.

Donatella’s son Dario gave our group of three couples the best day of our entire 11-day Italy trip. He was so engaging and knowledgeable. We sampled fantastic wines from four wineries in Montalcino. The stories and history at each one is so unique and inspirational. We can’t recommend this tour enough…worth every penny!

My fiance and I had just gotten engaged, and this wine tour was recommended to us by a friend. It was hands down the best and most memorable experience from our trip to Italy. Donatella was extremely responsive when it came to communication via email and booking the Brunello tour....and Dario, our guide, was absolutely fantastic -- very professional but at the same time a fun guide to have on a wine tour. You'll taste great wine and have great conversations with the wine producers and families who own the vineyards. I could go on and on about this tour but don't want to spoil the fun! If you have an opportunity to join Donatella and Dario for this experience, please do! You won't regret it. We can't wait until our next trip with Dario!

This is our second trip with Donatella and she was once again fantastic. She organized a full day consisting of 5 tastings at small wineries where we could taste with and talk to the winemakers.
Each visit was unique and enjoyable- both the wines and the people. In between visits, Donatella provided a steady stream of information about the wines, the region and the people. Our day included a stop at a winery that also had a restaurant, so we were able to combine lunch with a tasting, which let us experience how the wines paired with food.
We can’t wait until our next visit.

Last year we had the honor of going on a wine experience with Donatella. It was the best day of our entire 3 week trip to Italy last year. I cried at the first winery because the experience was so real. Fast forward to this year. We returned to Italy just so we could go on tours with Donatella. We booked 2 wine tours and a cooking class. What an amazing experience. The Chianti wine tour was with Donatella and ended with a meal prepared by an Italian man and wife in their own home. It was amazing. The 2nd day we went on the Brunella wine tours with Donatella's son Dario. He was just as wonderful as his Mom. We ended the day with one of the winery owners, Johnny, cooking us the best meal we have ever had. The last day we did a cooking class with Massimo set up by Donatella. It was the best cooking experience we have ever had. To end the day we got to see his Ferrari and actually sit in the seats. If you truly want an Italian experience - go on one of Donatella's tours. You will not only have a memorable experience but will gain a new friend.

My family absolutely loved this tour with Donatella!!! We were a group of 6 and every single one of us agreed that this was our favorite day of our entire 2 week trip to Italy. She took us to 4 (maybe even 5) different wineries that we would have never been able to find if it weren’t for her! They were all off the beaten path and we really feel like we got the true Tuscan experience! We added on the option to have lunch included and it was our favorite part of the day and something we will never forget. I highly recommend! I have been telling all of my family and friends that this needs to be #1 on their list of things to do when they visit Italy. I will 1000000% be booking another tour with Donatella next time I am in Italy! I can’t wait!!!

After the pandemic delay of one year & some re-scheduling we finally arrived in Firenze. Hooray! Only to have me mess up our tour date...so we ended up leaving a bit late. Donatella ~ I am so, so sorry! (a cancelled flight from the US & a lost day had me in a brain fog) She was very understanding & off our family went for the day. She is so knowledgeable & just as fun as she was the first time we went on the Chianti tour six years ago. My sons & partners thought the day was fantastic & got such a kick out of her driving :) She makes the tour fun for anyone...at any age! As a surprise treat, she arranged for my husband to see a friend he made on the 1st tour we did in 2015. How special this experience/lunch was & we truly appreciated her efforts to do this for him. Marco ~ your stories are still a treat! Each place we stopped was unique & each vineyard shared their stories with us about producing their wine. She obviously has a wonderful connection with these small vintners & it makes the day feel very personal. I cannot recommend her tours enough! She is worth every penny! I only wish we could go back someday & experience her other tours. *I made sure I threw a coin in the Trevi Fountain in Roma with this very wish!

Donatella, the Mary Poppins of Tuscan Wine tours? Maybe so. Four couples from USA touring the Tuscan countryside, drinking wine from small local vineyards, meeting the owners, eating, having conversation... great time had by all. She may be a bit more expensive that some others, but we have no complaints on the perfect Wine Tour in Tuscany day....

Our party of 4 had an amazing day with Donatella exploring the wineries of Brunello. She has an infections passion for wine and amazing relationships with the proprietors of small producers in the area. We had a whirlwind day exploring five wineries, each of them small and with their own take on the grapes and the region. This was our third day with Donatella and each one was better than the last.

This was a great review. We only have two days off a ship in the Tuscany area in October. Do you think a full day with this tour is worth it?
Thank you from a St. Louis, Door County person/traveler.
How do we book this tour? I don't seem to see a link on trip advisor.
We have a small group travelling and this review makes me want to book the tour.

My apologies for the delay in responding. I hope it's not too late for your October trip planning. I would so recommend spending the day with Donatella if you enjoy wine. We've done the Chianti tour and the Brunello tour and they were both just fantastic. Both times we've paid for the optional lunch - totally worth it with local cooks.
I can't post the site, but just search for "wine tour in tuscany" as a single word. From her website you can also get to her Instagram page - she posts fairly frequently there.
Good luck and if you book, I think your group will be very happy.

I haven’t been able to connect to book after my initial contact three weeks ago. I’ve sent 4 emails from two different accounts and have been checking my junk email. They responded to my initial inquiry quickly but didn’t give info on how to book. Anyone had contact with them recently?

How much is Chianti or Brunello wine tour?

Honestly, I can't remember what we paid but it was well worth the cost. We've been on other tours that were more expensive and less expensive. This tour is limited to about 5 couples. Donatella is extremely knowledgeable in her field.

We are staying outside Florence-if we book with you do you pick us up at our location or do we have to get to a central location?

They send detailed information about their meeting site. There are probably rules and regulations about picking up clients within the city limits of Florence.

Hello,
I am deciding between the Brunello and the Chianti tour. Any recommendations if you could only have picked one?
Thanks!

I can’t imagine a better tour than the one we did (Chianti), but Donatella is great at organizing what is best for you. I would let her know about your group, your interests, where you are staying and she can advise you best!
