Thank you Matteo for a truly artful and skillful wine tour in San Gimignano! I learned so much from you about Italian history, Italian wines, and food-wine pairings. You were the consummate host and guide for our small group. The experiences we had at both wineries felt very intimate and as though it was a ‘family experience.’ I’m from California and there are no wine tours that are as personal and intimate as the ones you curated for us! I enjoyed all the wines we tasted at both wineries, and really appreciated learning about the wines from the people who made them. It was an incredible experience, and my favorite wine tour (I’ve done others on previous visits). I also appreciate that you limit the group size to 8 people and take a your out as long as there are two people signed up. Our group had just three and it was lovely to meet and bond with other wine lovers from around the globe! One reason I chose this particular wine tour was the opportunity to taste both the red wines from the region as well as the lesser known Vernaccia (white) wine which we sampled in multiple expressions from light to much fuller bodied. This made the experience unique compared to the multitude of tours focusing only on the red varietals! Last, our lunch prepared by Suzanne was outstanding, as was the food we had with the wines at our first Tuscan winery. Sampling wine alongside food transforms the taste and mouthfeel of the wines! If you’re debating which wine tour to go with, I can’t say enough good things about Italy and Wine, and our superlative host, Matteo! Next time I visit Tuscany I will definitely seek out another tour with this your company! Thanks again for a beautiful day sampling beautiful Tuscan food, wine, and traditions in the stunning hills of Tuscany! Salut ???? Mindy
