This was an absolutely incredible tour. We knew very little about wine beforehand and we agreed our wine knowledge quadrupled by the end, not to mention our knowledge of the Tuscan area. For example, did you know Siena and Florence were/are rivals? We expected to learn about wine but also got an awesome cultural and historical experience. Sylvia at the second winery prepared a fantastic lunch and we were happily full on wine and snacks by the end. The hospitality of the people of Tuscany cannot be matched. Definitely worth a day trip from Florence. And if you can, ask for Fillipo. He was our sommelier for the day and he was absolutely a huge reason we loved this so much. He was born and raised in the Tuscan area and his knowledge of Tuscany and it's wine is unmatched. He took time to answer all of our questions and gave us some tips on picking out wine in Italy, as well as suggestions for the area. We could not have asked for a better guide for the day. We plan to return in the late summer just to book with him again during peak wine season - as we learned, there are other wine regions in Tuscany to explore and we can't imagine a better guide to do it with. Thank you Fillipo!!
