This was my first trip to Italy, we enjoyed a comfortable ride throughout the countryside in the clean, air conditioned van!

He even gave us recommendations for our second leg of the trip to Rome. We will definitely use this service again!!

Bottled water was provided and he even stopped to get Fresh pizza for us. 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.

This place is beautiful! I brought a group of over 20 people and everybody loved the wine. We…read moremade our reservation weeks in advance and made a special request for some lite food. Were were told it would not be a problem (because it was weeks in advance) and were quoted a price of 25 Euros per person. As we arrived at the tasting a new email was received informing us that it would be an additional 15 per person for the food. We didn't have much of a choice, we had just traveled two hours and I had well over 20 people sitting on a bus in their parking lot. The food ended up being pathetic and way over priced. They did end up lowering the price of the food, but it was still to high and not what we were quoted. Not that I expect/deserve/earned it, but of the 12 wine tastings I have taken large groups to, this is the only one that has not given me (the host) complementary bottles as a thank you. Again, it is not something that I paid for, but after my group bought 10? cases of wine in addition to the 1000 euros for the tasting.....it would have been a nice gesture. Tenuta Torciano ended up being a better option. It was acheaper experience, with lots of real food, wonderful interactions with the wine steward, and great wines!

The property is exceptional, though due to attention to signage as it can be somewhat tricky to locate. After the tour we were offered tastings of a number of Brunello vintages, Rosso, Grappa and the exceptional olive oil pressed on the premises. We enjoyed the wine so much we had a case shipped home. I would like to note that the Brunello prices were on the lower end of what we found in Montalcino, similarly the shipping rate was the lowest we were offered during our two week stay in the region. We highly recommend a visit.

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.

We tasted a good mix of Chianti, Rosé, White blends, vin Santo (dessert wine), and a new fav Vermentino wines which you definitely can't find in the states! Ended the tour at a family farm house/ winery. We had a delicious farm to table lunch with limoncello and tiramisu to top it off. At the end of the tour you can "make your own box" of wines from each winery and ship it right to your house! Overall, excellent experience with the best views of Toscana, would def recommend to anyone looking for a private wine tour!

Alessandra (co-owner) and her daughter Veronica led the truffle hunt, with our little hunter, Celly--who brought plenty of puppy energy and was much more interested in playing than working. Thankfully, if your group isn't particularly lucky during the hunt, they keep a reserve of fresh truffles on hand so you can still fully enjoy the truffle lunch experience. Nonna Roberta prepares the food herself, and honestly, if I were Italian, I'd want a Nonna just like her! The meals were amazing, and there was no shortage of truffles. One of the best meals I've had in Italy!!
