Small Group/ Two wineries/ San Gimignano/ lunch/ guided wine tastings/ gelato world champion/ piazzale Michelangelo and more..
First we tour vineyards and cellar of an organic farm in the heart of the Chianti region, receiving an up close look at the production and ageing process of the Chianti wines and learning about the secrets of the extra virgin olive oil making.
This experience includes a wine tasting and the opportunity to buy for cheap the best tuscan wines. Our trip continues on to the medieval town of San Gimignano, where you will also have the chance to try the famous world champion Dondoli gelato.
We then move on to a second winery where we enjoy an authentic tuscan lunch, combined to a wine tasting class.
On our way back we stop at Piazzale Michelangelo, in the top ten of the most romantic spots in Europe.

Our guide, I think his name is Guisado, was extremely friendly and talkative. The drive through the countryside was stunning! We were a small group of 8 for the day. Our first stop was at Michelangelo piazza to check out the views.
Then we stopped at our first winery that had pretty good wine. Smaller winery, intimate, we got a nice tour of the owners underground cave and barrel storage. They serve some snacks with your tastings so you don’t have to drink wine on an empty stomach. The 2nd winery had patio seating with beautiful views of the countryside but they seated us inside due to the chance of rain. I was really disappointed we couldn’t sit outside because that was the main reason I booked the tour. The second winery was a lot of tastings and it was not good wine. The lunch they served was 3 courses. Cheese, meats and crackers for the 1st course, pasta with rabbit meat for the 2nd course and 1 biscotti cookie each for desert. I thought they were a bit cheap with the servings considering how much we paid for our visit. My wife could not eat her pasta due to the rabbit meat. Make sure you let them know you don’t want to eat random animal meat ahead of time!
I really wish we spent less time at the 2nd winery so that we could have enjoyed more time in San Gimignano. The stop in San Gimignano needs to be longer. It says 1 hour but that includes parking and him talking to you for another 20 minutes showing you around. By the time he was done with his explanations we only had 20 minutes to explore and walk around. It really was not enough time.
The gelato place he took us to in San Gimignano was to die for! This was the best gelato I had anywhere in Italy. It lives up to the reputation of being the best gelato in the world.
Overall I enjoyed my full day tour. Mainly cuz of the guide and the beautiful views of Tuscany. I think they need to find a different winery for the 2nd stop- or reduce the time there. Otherwise, great tour!

Spent a lovely day in Tuscany at 2 wineries and San Gimignano. I especially enjoyed the visit to Villa Il Pozzo Vinyard and stories and Wine tasting tips from Donato (and the wine was delicious!). Our tour guide Max kept us entertained and shared a wealth of knowledge about the region. I highly recommend this excursion

One of the best experiences my husband and I had in Italy. It was a great way to spend a day and get out of the city for a bit.
