On a whim, with an hour to kill before dinner, I googled wineries and this gem popped up. I have Irene a quick call and 15 mins later all 12 of us were standing in her beautiful property. She was a brilliant guide and gave us an interesting tour of the vineyards and a brief history of the wines her husband and her produce. We had so much fun at the tasting and there were enough toys to distract the little ones in our party that I can to regret having found it so late in the day and so late in our holiday. I can only recommend Gabriele Mazzeschi vineyards as a lovely thing to do on a warm Tuscan afternoon.

Away from tourist routes, from Montevarchi train station we will drive you in one of our comfortable vehicles to a quintessentially Tuscan area (it's easy to reach this train station from Florence, 35 minutes ride, and Arezzo, 25 minutes ride). We will visit medieval towns and some of the best-known boutique wineries. Those producers make up for their small production numbers by crafting superb quality wines with great passion. During the visit through the vineyards you can see where and how Sangiovese grapes grow. You will be revealed pearls of country wisdom, you will be told about the difficulties of working the land, and share stories of what it is like to produce a wine that graces tables around the world. This tour is special because it allows you to discover smaller, niche producers. Lunch at a winery or in a small osteria is a must – Chianti wines are meant to be enjoyed with the delicious dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Wine and food will delight both your palate and heart!

Inclusions: Visit of two wineries with at least 3 glasses of wine each place and extra virgin olive oil tasting., The professional english speaking driver will explain you the attractions, the wine traditions, Lunch, Air-conditioned vehicle

Exclusions: Professional licensed guide, Gratuities

My family and I first came into contact with Viaggi d'Ambra in July when I contacted them about a Chianti tour (see previous review) - we loved it so much, we didn't only book once again, but twice! My husband and I had the pleasure of a tour with Azzurra in the Montepulciano and Montalico regions in August - it was amazing! Both wineries were in lovely positions and the hosts were delightful. We also had time to explore the beautiful town of Pienza - not to be missed! After two fabulous tours, we booked to return to Tuscany in October. This time Christian took us on an amazing tour of northern Chianti. We visited the beautiful town of Greve and two fabulous wineries. Without Christian, we would never have found them and their wonderful wines! This year has all been a bit mad, but do book early for tours next year as Azzurra and Christian are fantastic people and know the area like no other. If you don't book, I can see myself taking tours with them daily - it really is such a fantastic experience and such a varied area! Grazie mille both of you!!!

Wonderful tour of St Peters finishing with the cistine chapel with Alessandro. Once again this guide was first class in his delivery and knowledge of the place. Sean the boss of Angel Tours was excellent with his communications and I thoroughly recommend this company, will definitely use again.

We booked a wine tour for half a day only the night before and received the confirmation following morning! The driver picked us up at our place in Siena with a very nice and comfortable car. Our driver was Roberto, who spoke very well English and is a very funny and nice guy! He could answer all our questions on Italian cuisine and culture in a very passionate way. The wineries we visited were as authentic as you could imagine and they let us try all their best wines! We had an amazing afternoon and wished we’d booked for the entire day. Wedriveyou.it is highly recommended by us and make sure you ask for Roberto!
