Admire Siena in total freedom, tour a Chianti winery at a farmhouse, and finish the night with a 4-course dinner featuring divine Tuscan specialties and wine from an estate! This laid-back evening excursion from Florence is the perfect way to discover Siena’s charms once its daytime crowds have left. Explore Piazza del Campo at leisure, and then retreat to the Chianti hills to explore a winery and sample up to three glasses of its Tuscan wine with dinner.

This was my 2nd wine tour from Florence and I was disappointed compared to the first experience wirh a different guide. I booked an English tour and got English/Italian/Spanish. We went to Siena and stayed for 2 hours which was too long and then went to the winery and did a walk from the front door to the rable and this was considered our tour. We had 3 small glasses of wine that equaled 1 whole glass when you put them together. The food was just ok which took forever between dishes to come out.

Directions to meeting place are clear, the bus was clean and driver Marco an excellent and safe driver. Marti, the tour lead was great, friendly and clear. I do think the tour description is misleading. We had under two hours in Sienna, I kind of wish we could be on our soon sooner than where the meeting place was because some people were slower than others and it was valuable time.
When we went to the restaurant, there was no tour of the cellar, you just walk through it and the dinner was pretty uneventful. Though the owners and waiters were clearly doing their best. There were two other tours there as well as normal clientele so the wine tasting experience really wasn’t there. Parts of the grounds were closed off and there was some kind of party on the grounds so we felt more like we were disturbing. There were no great sunset pictures or walking through the grounds. We also ate inside so it just felt like a regular restaurant. I don’t think the price does it justice and it’s obvious the restaurant/ wine owners do it so that people buy at their gift shop. Not at any time did we feel pressured but I was not impressed by the wine at all. Also the dessert was biscotti and the meat was very chewy. Wouldn’t recommend for dinner, maybe just drinks?

The tour guide, Gabriel (?) was very sweet and explained the entire tour to us while on the bus to Siena. The wine tasting was very worth it and we ate dinner while watching a beautiful sunset. The dinner consisted of an appetizer plate, pasta, steak and potatoes, 4 wines, and almond cookies for dessert. We were given around 2 hours in Siena to explore by ourselves which was nice but a guided tour may have been more helpful. Overall, for the price, very worth it!

Excellent afternoon in Siena and sunset dinner at a Tuscan winery. Our tour guide Gabriele and driver Gianluca were so wonderful - friendly, helpful. It doesn't allow for a lot of time in Siena but enough to give you a feel for this beautiful city. Winery dinner was also amazing - only wish we were seated in an area with a view of the Tuscan hills.
We would recommend this tour for a nice day trip out of Florence.

A great tour. Siena was wonderful and the winery easily accommodated my husband’s gluten free allergy.

Siena was really nice to see, a very unusual city. Enough time to Rome around. Wine tasting and dinner were very nice and relaxed.

Nice and well planned tour. Took us right into Siena where we could explore on our own. Our tour guide gave some basic historical overviews and cracked a few jokes on the bus. Nothing fancy, fluid or riveting, but he was personable and effervescent. Interns were friendly as well. The wine and dinner was terrific and filling. The staff did a good job catering to special dietary needs.
I was wishing we could step into the Tuscan country side for some photos but there was limited time. The tour is spent mainly on the bus, in Siena for a few hours, and then in a winery and restaurant. There were mostly couples and grownup families on this tour. You’ll hear swooning Italian soft rock on the ride home and the bus driver belting out his own version of one song. How you feel about that is up to you.
