By the time we finished touring with Roberto for two days we felt that we knew so much about the area, history and culture of the region. Roberto's knowledge or art, history, food and culture was so impressive. The tour we did with Roberto was much more than him driving us from place to place. Each place we went was so carefully planned and curated. We visited wineries, vineyards and a sheep farm that makes cheese. With his help, we were able to visit every place we wanted to see as well as some smaller unknown, hidden gems. We saw so many beautiful landscapes and Roberto stopped frequently for us to take in the views! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Roberto. We hope to go back soon to tour Umbria and Florence with Roberto.

Afterwords, we went on to Rome, the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. It was a wonderful trip, but the day I spent with Marialuisa in the Tuscan countryside with my daughter and 2 other members of our group, was one of my favorites. The 3 wineries we visited (including Marialuisa's family winery) were excellent. We tasted many spectacular wines with suggested wine pairings, toured 2 wineries and enjoyed an amazing lunch. Not only was Marialuisa extremely knowledgeable, she was an absolute joy to spend the day with. She also arranged affordable shipping of the wines we purchased from her family's Cesani Winery...eccellente! When I return to Italy, I will take the time to experience another wonderful day with "My Tuscan Wine and Tours." Marialuisa, thanks again for an amazing memory that I will cherish forever! Fino alla prossima volta!

So vastly exceeded any expectations - I truly can't imagine recommending anyone more strongly.

We were fortunate to time our visit just before the harvest as we were able to sample the grapes as we strolled through the vineyards, accompanied by the family cat, Attilio. Elena's father joined us during the tasting and while he spoke no English, was clearly happy we were there, sampling the wines. The tour is one of our favorite memories of our two weeks in Italy.

The price tag is a big hefty, but a wine tour with Tuscany Private Tours is oh so worth it…read more I was staying in the Castellina area of Chianti and was having a lot of trouble finding a company that would provide a private transfer to and from the hotel. Most tours leave from the Florence / Siena area, or have you meet them right at the winery. My feeling was that if I was spending a few days in Tuscany I wanted at least one day of not having to worry about driving to and from wineries. Thankfully we found Tuscany Private Tours and all was good. It is an extra 40 euro to add pick up and drop off at the hotel. But if you are going to all the trouble to arrange a private tour it would be the worst to have to drive 15-20 minutes to actually get to the tour. So again, you can really alleviate all driving with this if you want to. We took the 'Safari Tour' -- basically like a regular wine tour, except you get to cruise around in a super cool land rover. Our guide Paolo was awesome. He was super friendly and knowledgeable of wine and the area, and was overall just a really cool person to spend the day with. You visit three different wineries, tastings included at each and also have an included homemade winery lunch at your last stop. I liked that all three wineries have very different vibes. Our guide also mentioned that he chooses to do this on purpose. First stop -- a big commercial winery. Very cool to tour their production facility and then compare that to a production facility at a much smaller winery. Second Stop -- more of an urban experience. We visited a tasting room on the main street in Castellina. Paolo explained that he purposely takes people to this winery because it is one of the oldest in the area. After visiting several wineries in the rolling hills it was cool to also check one out in more of an industrial setting. Third Stop -- by far the best! Paolo took us to a very small winery. So small, that you'd probably only be able to find them if you have a tour guide that is friends with their family (ahem, Paolo). The grounds were absolutely gorgeous -- insane views of the Tuscan hills and gorgeous plants and greenery everywhere. We enjoyed a fantastic multi-course lunch -- pasta (of course), assorted crostinis, cheeses, meats and dessert. Because it's lunch (and maybe because it's the last stop?) we also had way more wine than just a taste. I'm here for it. If you want to try all wines before deciding which bottle to buy, they have every bottle available at the Tuscany Private Tour office. Tips for the tastings are included, but tips for your guide aren't, so be sure to bring some cash. Long review, but in short -- if you are not staying in the city and want to wine tour without worrying about driving then just do this. It's pricey but worth it for an incredible day. We will truly remember it forever.

At the end of the tour you can "make your own box" of wines from each winery and ship it right to your house!

This experience was the highlight of our group tour to San Gimignano from Livorno. It was part of a…read moreNCL tour that included a visit to the medieval village, but with emphasis on the wine of the region. We were taken to this lovely estate, while dodging roosters and chickens as our bus entered through the main gate. It's such a picturesque setting for a wine tasting. I can see that many events are celebrated in these vineyards all year round. The beautiful rose bushes along the trail leading to the wine tasting room added even more charm. Gabrielle was our guide for this tour. He gave us a great presentation of all that Tenuta Torciano has to offer. It all started with the appetizer plate that went perfectly with their amazing Vernaccia wine. It is such a beautiful golden color with a bright and crisp fruity taste. The grape is only grown in this region. It's a must try when in San Gimignano. I was also very much in love with the Rosato IGT Toscana wine that is very deep pink in color. It looks so pretty in the bottle. It was my second favorite of the 9 or 10 different wines that we tasted. It was an extremely generous amount for the cost. I even purchased a couple of reds, which I'm not usually fond of because they give me headaches. These did not have that affect on me. The Super Tuscan red wines called Bartolomeo & Baldassarre totally won me over. In all honesty, I've never spent this much on wine in my entire life. It was worth it. They ship it straight to your home. They have a stateside warehouse in Chicago which makes it so convenient. The package arrived a couple of days after we returned from our trip. It was exactly what we ordered, and packed with such wonderful care. Great service! We also were given the opportunity to try their flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegar. The truffle oil was drizzled over the lasagna for the tasting, but it was the balsamic vinegar that was a big hit with my husband. We've been getting a lot of use out of it when making bruschetta and caprese salad at home. It's delicious! The sweet ending to our tasting was the Vin Beato dessert wine. We dipped the cantucci (or biscotti cookies) into the wine. It was the perfect ending to a lovely wine tasting experience. I really wasn't expecting a full meal, nor was I expecting so many different wine samplings. It exceeded our expectations. I believe they have a number of different experiences here like truffle hunting and horseback riding. Just check out their website. I would have never known about this place had I not booked a tour through the cruise line. It was a memorable visit with an excellent wine tasting. I'd do it again if ever in San Gimignano.

So, my, then fiancé, agreed to let us marry in here September 7, 2019. It was absolutely spectacular, and a dream come true! The vineyard is breathtaking, and Anna & Barbara are professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended. My husband and I agree that the grounds were beautiful, very reasonable pricing, especially when considering the level of service and area provided. They were also very responsive to all our questions and many emails! This place is absolutely gorgeous while still being intimate, and the staff here are wonderful! Barbara and Anna were there for us every step of the way and made it all so fun and stress-free. To start - I reached out to Casa Sola in November of 2017 just to see the process of booking the venue. They explained everything in great detail and when we "officially" started planning they stayed in constant communication with me and we planned everything via email. They made a stressful time much easier. Not only did we get married, but we rented out both cabin properties and our guests loved the venue and their personalized cabins. The location was tucked away, but we communicated that clearly to our guests and brought groceries with us, but they do offer breakfast baskets that had so much food that many people ate it all day. They do offer other baskets for lunch and dinner, but unfortunately, I was not told about this until after we were there, so if you book here ask about them because the baskets are amazing and filling. Because we had an intimate guest list, we didn't use a seating chart for our reception dinner, but we did make a cabin "seating chart" to make sure all of our guests were able to stay and enjoyed their stay. Barbara and Anna were so accommodating and understanding as the guest list changed quite a few times and a bit last minute. The vineyard, in general, is very romantic. We Loved everything about it. The property grounds are gorgeous, and we received many compliments on our venue choice! We loved the vineyards, koi pond, and especially the mansion. We didn't hire a wedding coordinator, but Anna and Barbara were so wonderful and made sure that all of our wedding details came together perfectly. Due to a language barrier, it was wonderful that they helped with translating and coordinating every step of the way. They were always in constant communication with me throughout the whole process and checked on me throughout the whole day. They also recommended outstanding vendors to choose from. It was the perfect place to have our wedding and I could have asked for anything more! Our ceremony was outdoors on the side of the gorgeous main building with a beautiful view of the vineyard behind us. The cocktail hour was in the entryway that has a beautiful persona with dinner in the area the ceremony was and the reception in the entryway as well and both were beautiful and unique. To sum up, my wedding day was absolutely perfect every step of the way and the very few things that were not 100% were forgotten as we couldn't have had a better day. Casa Sola is a gorgeous venue and made wonderful by its wonderful staff. Barbara and Anna were there for us every step of the way, very responsive and accommodating, and such a pleasure to work with. Our guests had a wonderful time and I attribute much of that to the beauty of this venue and the hard work of the staff!

I emailed them the day before, and a representative replied quickly, stating their wine shop opens daily at 10:00 AM. I replied that we would arrive right at 10:00 AM.We woke up early and drove 1.5 hours to get there. Upon arrival, the wine shop was locked. I called the number, and the same person I emailed came out. He mentioned a large group of 30 people was arriving soon. I told him we just wanted a quick tasting, so he led us into the tasting room. Inside, another staff member was setting up glasses. The two employees immediately began arguing in Italian right in front of us. A few minutes later, the first man turned to us and said, "I'm sorry, but we can't do a tasting today because you didn't make an appointment." When I showed him the email confirming our 10:00 AM arrival, he completely dismissed it.Disappointed, we left and spotted Casa Emma down the road. What a blessing in disguise! A wonderful woman named Elena greeted us. Even though they were fully booked with over 100 guests on the way, Elena offered us a quick standing tasting. That "quick" tasting turned into an amazing sampling of six wines, their olive oil, and a balsamic vinegar flight (12, 25, and 100 years old!). We were so thrilled that we bought over €1,000 worth of wine, oil, and the 100-year-old balsamic.Huge thanks to Elena for saving our morning and making our long drive completely worth it! Avoid Casa Sola and go straight to Casa Emma instead.
