Frequently Asked Questions
What's the black rooster symbol on Chianti Classico bottles?
It's the Gallo Nero, the historic seal of the Chianti Classico Consortium, guaranteeing the wine was made under the appellation's stricter rules. Look for it on the neck of every authentic bottle.
Is this tour really private?
Yes — the vehicle, driver and guide are reserved exclusively for your party for the entire day. You won't be grouped with other travelers at any winery.
What should we wear for the vineyard walks?
Comfortable, closed-toe shoes with good grip are best — cellar floors and vineyard paths can be uneven — plus a light layer for cooler mornings.

Nicolò was very friendly and immersed us in the culture of Tuscany. We loved learning about how Tuscan organic vineyards make wine. The lunch we had was unforgettable and we could not recommend this tour enough.

Five stars! We had a great tour with Matteo. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and took us to two great wineries that we never could have found on our own. Both wineries produced high quality Chianti. For the second winery on our tour, the owner and winemaker, Misha, actually made us a lunch that was among the best meals we had on our ten day trip through Tuscany (and his wines were wonderful as well). Memorable experience with a quality company and tour guide. Highly recommended.

A great day featuring wine tasting and touring at small, medium and large wineries. All informative, each a little different, wines excellent. As well as our tour guide Vittorio. He was knowledgeable and knew when to let the experience speak for itself. We tasted Chianti Classico, Riserva and Supertuscan wines. All accompanied by a taste of Tuscany - cheeses, meats, bruschetta and home-made olive oils. Our favorite was the small winery. An intimate tour with the farmer himself. Lunch was served with all of the above as well as pizza, pasta, and a delicious dessert, in a beautiful outdoor setting overlooking the vineyard. A memory we'll never forget. A huge selling point of this particular tour, was the door to door pick up and drop off to where we were staying. We could sit back, enjoy the scenery, and not worry about directions or having too much wine. Vittorio was open to stopping along the way for some photo opportunities amidst the beautiful Tuscan countryside and small quaint villages. This 'Italy and Wine' private tour with Vittorio was the highlight of our trip to Italy! Simply fantastico!
