Chianti Half-Day Wine Tour in the Tuscan Hills Small Group from Lucca

Our guide gave us an amazing insight into the importance of wine in every day Italian life. The winery itself is a beautifully appointed house and has wonderful views of the Tuscan countryside. Oh yes, the wine was really great, too.

Our driver was amazing. Very knowledgeable and personable. The trip was comfortable and on time. The Dainella winery was beautiful- great tour, food and wine. The trip was perfect. Thank you

Great wine, delicious olive oil, wonderful hostess! We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting and the excursion to Vinci.

Had a fantastic time with our group for the half day wine tasting. Went to a beautiful, informative, and delicious tasting in Montecarlo and had the chance to visit the town afterwards. It was not harvest season, but Massimo did a fantastic job of explaining the process. He was SO dynamic and wonderful to interact with, quickly knew all of us by name and really immersed us in the experience, making sure everyone became fast friends. It was absolutely the highlight of our trip.

We were met promptly at the arranged time by Emilia, our wonderful guide, and a Enrico our driver. The van was very comfortable for our trip to Altopascio, a beautiful town on a hillside famous for its delicious bread. Our guide gave us lots of historical, geographical and cultural information about our surroundings and destination. Emilia was quite funny, remembered all our names, and was a lively - and lovely addition to our adventure. After going on to Montecarlo and the nearby organic winery, we had a fantastic welcome from the staff and workers. A very informative tour began by Emilia was continued as we toured the winery and saw how the production of their 6 wines was done. A great set up for seated tastings among the barrels of wine was accompanied by explanations of each wine and how our food pairing might best be enjoyed. It was fun, intimate, well organized and a wonderful value. Afterwards a tour of the vineyards and photos was followed by a trip back to Lucca. I thought the tour was well organized, Emilia and a Enrico were wonderful guides, and the staff at the winery were friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone and would go again myself.

Excellent day out. High praise for the two tour operators for their enthusiasm and professionalism . Nothing was too much trouble . They gathered us all together, a small group of about 12 into two vehicles.......a slight hiccup finding some of the group but they did so with humour and had us all laughing. We were from as far as Iceland to Australia and as well as the i wine we enjoyed the company. The vineyard was beautiful and the wine and food just delicious. Well done Emilia and Antonio.

highly recommended tour of Monte Carlo (Lucca) winery and their specialty Linsanto. take it in Lucca.

Would highly rate this Tuscan Wine Tour, our agent was timely, knowledgeable and very engaging. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and especially enjoyed the Wine.

This was a wonder day outing from Lucca. Matteo was an excellent guide - we toured the town of Montecarlo first - amazing views of the countryside. Next we visited the winery and sampled lovely wines with appetizers. Our group was a mix of Canadians and Americans and we had a great time together sharing stories about our travels. Highly recommend this trip.

Everything was lovely. We were picked up right on time. The guide/driver, Emmy, was very good and full of information. The winery tour was interesting and as noted in other reviews, the food and wine pairings were very tasty.
