Wine Tasting Tours in Florence

"Joined the Grape Escape Winery Tour on 30th January 2020 with our guide Manolo, who speaks very good English and explained everything clearly. Very humorous and never failed to entertain us during the whole journey. Went to taste some awesome wines at two winery and the best balsamic ever! Would highly recommend anyone who wishes to try the wines, olives and balsamic of Tuscany. "

"Very kind tour guide! Communication options through WhatsApp. Socialized with our travelers. I wish the first winery would have explained more tasting details of the wine like the second winery at the monastery did. Overall an amazing experience with BREATHTAKING views. Thank you to our driver Andrea and guide Llaria. "

"This tour was Really great! The guide and driver were super friendly, and shared so much knowledge of both Florence and Chianti area. Both the vineyards we visitere were very Beautiful and charming. The wines were great, and it sure were enough for a morning trip! The food we got to our wines were great local produce. One of the best tours i have been on! We also got alot of tips from the guide in terms of things to do, places to visit and different things to eat in Flornce and other parts of Italy! "

"This was such a fun experience!! I was a solo traveler and was able to make a bunch of new friends :) we had about 8 people in the group so it felt intimate and special! Our host Ned was so fun and knowledgeable about the area! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience that I couldn't recommend more! Plus lots of wine, cheese, and meats to eat what more could you want!! :D "

"A MUST while visiting Florence. Truly truly a beautiful experience to visit the countryside and walk through medieval villages. I was so impressed with how well organized this tour was. Manolo (guide) was so enthusiastic and funny and took such great care of us! Antonio (driver) drove safely and was wonderful! The lunch is a MUST! Do it if you can. This was such a highlight. The organic farm was stunning it was so great to hear about the organic foods and wine they produce and then be able to have lunch and wine with a spectacular view could not be matched. I wasn’t expecting much of the lunch as it was with a large group but it was absolutely delicious, the quality fantastic (my Italian husband reiterating the same). Do this tour! You won’t be disappointed! "

"Lucky me I was part of an amazing group of people during this day trip! The guide was sweet, goofy, knowledgeable, approachable, profissional, I honestly have no words to thank Leonardo for the amazing wines we tasted today. I totally recommend this experience. "

"The overall experience was good, however the lack of designated bathroom breaks during the trip posed problems. This trip is 400 km all said and done with no bathroom breaks. Each of the stops had a public bathroom available (somewhere), but for .50 - 1 euro (with the exception of the Chianti Hill stop). There were often times lines, which took away from the free time available. Be sure to have euro coins with you. The bus had probably 70 or so people vying for the same bathroom (plus those in other groups) when available and the guide was very impatient of this. The bus we were on was a standard charter bus, so the fact that there wasn't a toilet on the bus was weird. This huge problem be resolved with that small feature. We also were constantly rushed with hardly any time to explore the areas we stopped at. You get a tasting of the town, but no real time to immerse yourself in it and experience the culture. With that all said, I would recommend this tour. "

"We had a great day tasting many different Chianti-wines whilst getting introduced to the wineries process on making the wine. We also got to taste different olive oils and had a tasty lunch at Casa Emma. Our guide, Rafael, was really knowledgeable and nice. can definitely recommend this tour "

"Very easy to find meeting point as was sebt direct instructions and pictures. Was met by a lovely lady, Rosa, who gave us information also on surrounding buildings and the areas we were going through. Very much enjoyed both of the wineries/vineyards, different and both interesting "

"This tour is a wonderful way to explore three cities in one day. However, you spend only about 1-1.5 hours free time in each city so it's just enough to get a taste of each place. Siena is the only city with a local guided tour. Visiting the organic farm and winery were lovely but our lunch was a little small. Wine was perfect! Our guide, Manolo, and driver, Nando, were kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip so much fun! "

"We loved the morning tour to beat the heat. Our guide, Mr. Raffaelle (sp?) was energetic and very informative. The bus was very comfortable and we met a small group of tourists, as well. Both wineries had expert guides and both served food and wine. We learned so much about wine and the Chianti region. Highly recommended! "

"Great half day tour to 2 vineyards in Tuscany as well as a short visit to the Gated village of Monterigioni. If you are looking to get a ""taste"" of Tuscany and see the views of the Tuscan countryside this is a great half day tour. Our family of 6 enjoyed it and the hosts at the Wineries were hospitable and friendly. "

"Excellent tour visiting 3 wineries in Chianti region, lunch at one. Finding the start point was easy, very well looked after by Lorenzo all day, but not smothered. Max was an excellent driver in a comfortable air conditioned bus. The tours were informative, and well paced. Nice to be able to try their olive oils too. Lunch at Casa Emma was delicious, and they catered for vegetarians, allergies etc. Also had a short stop in Greve in Chianti, enough for a drink and stretch of the legs. An excellent day out. Do it! "

"We loved this tour!!! My husband and I are on our honeymoon and we thought we’d do something different and join a day tour with other young adults - and it was so much fun. Paula was so cute and funny! The first winery we visited was awesome - our host was hilarious and they served a generous amount of wine, olive oil, crackers and the best Balsamic anyone has ever tasted. The second winery wasn’t as generous but it had the most amazing views of the rolling Tuscan hills. The last stop at San Gimignano was alright, great for the views but would have preferred another winery! Overall, would definitely recommend if you’re up for a fun day in Tuscany. "

"This tour was awesome! Super fun. Our guide Eduardo was amazing. He did a great job of making us all feel welcome and encouraged us to all get to know each other on the tour. You could tell he loves his job which made it that much more enjoyable! We loved learning about the history of the region as we travelled in the car. They took great care of us. Even though my friend and I got lost in town, he went above and beyond to help find us and get us back safely. 10/10 would recommend this tour. Had a lot of fun, drank a lot of wine, and walked away with new knowledge and great memories!! "

"Long day but great opportunity to visit 3 Italian villages and enjoy a really nice lunch in the Chianti region at an Agritourism farm. Prepare for lots of walking and bus travel but a nice combination of guided and free time. Our guide was kind, funny and informative. Thank you for the Molo for the great day. "

"We had a very unique experience. We were the only two people on the tour therefore it was possible to visit 2 vineyards, of which the second one had spectacular views and fantastic wines. The first one had a good selection of wine and a nice environment. Therefore I would highly recommend it in a smaller group to visit both places. "

"Our guide, Leo, made this trip extra special. His knowledge about history added so much depth to the whole tour. He also sang and played the guitar for us :) very lovely tour. This one tour has made me fall in love with Italy, it’s culture, it’s history, it’s food and ofcourse it’s wine :) "

"A thoroughly enjoyable experience. The organisation was first rate. Mano - our guide- and Nando- our driver- were excellent. Always congenital and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. We especially enjoyed the trip to Siena (fabulous local guide- can’t remember her name) and the lunch at the organic farm. "

"What a fun experience! We had no trouble meeting our guide. Sarah was awesome! We had a huge bus full of people on our tour - I bet around 60 people. But the wineries handled the big group with no problem and were attentive to everyone. We tried whites and reds at each stop and they were all amazing. We also learned so much about wines from the area. I highly recommend the trip! "
