The best experience during our time in Florence! Our tour guide, Filippo was the best and we thoroughly enjoyed each of the wineries we visited!
Excellent tour! Our guide was Francesa and she was a wealth of knowledge! We visited the wineries and each one was so unique. This tour was very well organized and planned and I highly recommend!! Lovely lovely day and money well spent!!
Great and personal wine tour of the Tuscan countryside, Francesca was an excellent guide giving fantastic introduction to Chianti wines. The food was great, accessible to everyone (including vegan) and we enjoyed visits to different wine territories and a beautiful village. Highly recommended!

We had a great day touring vineyards with Fillipo!! Angela was great to work with to plan my best friend’s surprise engagement! All of the wineries were wonderful, great wine, lunch was excellent, and we learned a lot about Tuscan wine!
What a perfect day spent in the Tuscan countryside touring 3 distinctive wineries! This tour was a highlight of our trip and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more intimate wine experience that the large-scale tour bus companies can offer. Our guide, Filippo, was engaging, knowledgable, and passionate about Tuscan wine-making. We were able to interact directly with the wine-makers at all properties and tasted wonderful wines at all 3 wineries we visited. The views were spectacular and the food pairings delicious as well!
We had the best time during our wine tour with Carlo. It was not only a great way to see the beautiful Tuscan country side, but the 3 boutique wineries made us feel right at home. One of them even cooked us a homemade lunch - which was delicious. Carlo was great to have with us for the day and was just as knowledgable as some of the on-site staff at the wineries. We learned so much and left with a newfound respect for Chianti Classico and Extra Virgin Italian Olive Oil. You even have opportunities to purchase wine and oil from the wineries and ship back to the states. We would highly recommend Angela’s Wine Tours. Was truly one of the biggest highlights of our trip.
Amazing experience. This wine tour is led by people who truly love educating people about traditional Tuscan wines.
Amazing day touring 3 different wineries. Got to taste wines of different varieties and each location had incredibly fresh food as well. Our tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone
We had a great tour with Carlo! He was super knowledgeable about the making of wine and the different histories of each region. Would recommend this for anyone visiting Florence or just interested in wine!
We spent our last day in Firenze with Angela touring wineries in Tuscany. It was magnificent, the merchants were knowledgeable, and the wine was superb. Thank you, Belle and Gary
We had a great day with our guide Francesca visiting three boutique family wineries. Convenient meeting location in the heart of Florence. Great wines, great education about the history of wine in the region. We had only four in our van instead of the maximum 8 so we were pretty efficient at each winery.Would definitely recommend !
This was the BEST tour. We visited three countries over two weeks and everyone said this tour was their favorite day. Fillipo was our guide and very knowledgeable and kind. The winery hosts were friendly and proud of their work. We tasted ten wines and ate some delicious food. We will recommend this to everyone who comes to Florence. The views and wine are worth every penny!
Filippo was an amazing guide! All the wineries were stunning. Food and wine were delicious. A very worthwhile tour!
This was a great tour! Our guide was fantastic and all the sites were wonderful. Highly recommend!

Filippo was amazing. His knowledge of the area and wines was exceptional. He was so very personable and easy to talk with. I’m so thankful we had him as our guide. He was the best!!!
Filippo made our day spectacular! We would recommend Angela’s personal Tuscan tour to everyone.
We picked this tour from Florence as it seemed to be one of the few that offers small groups (max 8 people) in comparison to some of the companies that would take groups of up to 25-50 people and it was definitely a great decision!Visiting small 3 family run wineries in Chianti with our very knowledgeable guide, Carlo who was like an old friend on the day.The wine and food we had on the day was also amazing, only shame was that I couldn’t ship it back to Australia!If you are looking for a good winery tour from Florence I highly suggest this one :)
We had a wonderful time with Filippo, definitely a must if you want to experience the history of Tuscan wine!! Grazie mille!
Cannot recommend this company enough! Did the Chianti 3 wineries tour with them and it was spectacular! Carlo was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and so much fun!They keep the group size small (HUGE plus in Florence) and the vineyards they pick are all small, family owned vineyards with some exquisite wines (see photos of the vineyards themselves). They even accommodate vegetarian and vegan diet options without compromising on any taste! Would 100% come back to do more wine tours with them!
I have been on three tours with this company and two were with Filippo. I have had an amazing time on all of them. I brought friends and family who I wanted to experience the magic of the region and of Tuscan wines. Filippo was fantastic. He shares great information and is open to talking all day. You learn a lot and have a wonderful experience that feels personal and special.
Filippo was a wonderful tour guide today on our wine, truffle and cheese tour. The 3 wineries we went to all had something different and special about them. Meeting the owners of each winery and hearing how excited they were about their wines was very interesting. Today was our last day in Florence and it was a perfect ending to an amazing trip. Would 100% recommend this tour.
This trip has been the highlight of our trip! I would come back to Florence just to do this again. Our guide Carlos was full of knowledge and spirit. Each of the vineyards was a unique experience and so wonderful! Could not recommend more
A great experience!! Francesca was a terrific guide for us, would highly highly recommend
Amazing experience! Filippo was so knowledgeable and a great host for the day. We’re thankful to have him as our host and definitely recommend the tour.
This tour was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend enough. Francesca was one of the best parts of the tour and she just made the trip incredible! She was so knowledgeable and welcoming. She is a sommelier and very passionate about wine. We really felt like we got to know the a chianti region. Thank you!!!
This tour was amazing!! We had the best time and learned so much from the fun and knowledgeable Francesca! The vineyards were each different and cool in their own way. Would highly recommend!
Angie was a fantastic guide and curated an excellent list of wineries for us to visit. She gave us a great overview of the area during our trip and was very responsive in her communication. We learned so much about the philosophy of Tuscan winemaking and each vineyard offered delicious wine. and olive oil. Highly recommend Angie’s expertise and services.
Book this tour!!! I loved doing it with a smaller company, it was fantastic! The day was paced wonderfully - tastings that felt thorough and not rushed, and a lovely lunch! The wineries we visited were small, family owned and you could really feel the passion in all of the winemakers. Our tour guide Carlo was the best!! Highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat!
This was the best winery tour we have been on! Was a beautiful day and had a wonderful time. All 3 winery's had there unique and fun parts to each there own styles!! We would 10/10 do it again! Thank you so much for a once and a lifetime opportunity!
This was the best tour I have ever been on! My wife and I were very excited for this experience and had high expectations but they were vastly exceeded with this trip! Filippo was the best tour guide I’ve ever had!
One of my absolute favorite experiences in Florence!!! Carlo was amazing, and every winery we went to was beautiful. Thank you for an amazing time!!! 10/10 recommend.
Great tour! Definitely do with a group of friends. Carlo was a great time.
Filippo was a great tour guide and all the wineries that we were brought to had delicious wine and food! I highly recommend to anyone coming to Florence !
The wine tour was an amazing experience and the choice of wineries was perfect. Our guide, Filippo, was exceptionally knowledgeable and very fun to talk to. I’d highly recommend anybody interested in a wine tour of the region to book a trip on this tour.
This was our favorite thing in Florence. Everyone in our group had a great time. I learned a lot and never felt silly for asking what I now know to be silly question. Francesca was always willing to share her knowledge and made sure there was a vegetarian option for me.
Francesca was wonderful! The Tuscan wineries were beautiful and the wines were amazing! Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time! We visited 3 boutique wineries all with a unique experience. We enjoyed delicious food, wine and views with each stop. Angela was friendly and accommodating. We drove around Tuscany in a comfortable van with A/C where she educated us on all things Tuscany and stopped for us to get photos along the way. Would definitely recommend!
Absolutely worthwhile wine tour of 3 great Chianti wineries! Carlo was a wonderful tour guide with a lot of knowledge!
Filippo was a fantastic guide! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed his wine tour. He was incredibly knowledgable of the wine, the region, and the history of Italy. He made the tour incredibly personal - even showing us where his 99 year old grandmother lives! This is a must do while visiting Tuscany. We will be back to visit Filippo whenever we come back to Italy!
We toured the Chianti region with Filippo and had an amazing time! He was great at explaining the history of the wine, the region, and the history of the area. It is easy to see how much he cares about wine and the area. If you are going to Tuscany this is a must!
Absolutely amazing experience. Words can’t truly describe how magical the day was. Carlo our guide was both knowledgeable and personable and made the event feel special. Wineries were spectacular and the Tuscan countryside is breathtaking. A must do when visiting Florence
This was one of the best experiences we had during our two week trip to Europe! We did the 3 Winery Tour; our guide, Carlo, was amazing! He was a great driver and so, so informative. Each of the wineries we went to were incredibly authentic family-run operations that were each unique in their own ways. This is well worth the price and an incredible way to spend a day in Tuscany.
We spent the day with Francesca from Wine Tours with Angie. Francesca was fabulous! The 3 vineyards that we visited were well thought out and a joy to visit. Francesca was able to answer all of our questions very thoroughly and made this an extremely memorable day for myself, my wife, my son, and my daughter in law. This was truly a day that I will never forget. Thank you Francesca and Wine Tours with Angie!
An amazing trip, wine tasting, food, company. Filippe is a great guide! Thank you
We went on the 3 winery Chianti tour with Filippo last Saturday and it was a fantastic time. Filippo was so friendly and knowledgeable about wine and the Tuscany region. The wineries were great as well. Highly recommend.
Perfect day. so well organized and well informed guide. Our group became friends for the day and shared a new appreciation for chianti wine and culture. Would do it all over again tomorrow if we could!
We went on the Chianti tour yesterday with Francesca and it was wonderful. Not only was Francesca just a generally knowledgeable and kind person, but she is also a sommelier! I loved all of the teaching she shared. We went to 3 small boutique wineries and met the owners at each one with a lovely full tasting. We also had an amazing lunch at our second stop. The sweeping Tuscan views were incredible. Would absolutely recommend anyone take this tour if coming through Florence. Top Notch ❤️❤️
Fantastic tour guide, delicious wineries, very entertaining and a lot of fun! Thank you to Filipe for a wonderful day!!
Our guide, Filippo, was absolutely wonderful! Very knowledgeable and kind. We also had a great time with our group. Would 100% do another tour with this company or recommend to a friend
Fabulous tour!!! Three great wineries that are all just a bit different to offer some variety. Lunch was great. Wines are awesome. Francesca was a 10-star tour guide. If you like brunello, this is absolutely the tour for you!!!!
Fantastic tour guides and fantastic places! Very professional and very educated. We enjoyed our tours very much! Special big thank you Francesca and Filippo for taking such good care of us!
The winery tour was great… the selection was complete as we were able to experience unique styles from the 3 different houses we visited. Francheska was awesome demonstrating full knowledge of wine.
Francesca was great! She has a lot of knowledge about wine. Every winery is unique and we learn a lot.This is a great wine tour!
This was such a great tour! We viewed 3 different wineries and had 3-4 wines at each location along with a selection of snacks and food.The guide was great and answered all our questions along with giving us a rundown of information about wine, Italy's regulations and history on wine, etc. Very fun and good.
Amazing visit to 3 unique wineries to learn about the process and philosophy of their family visit.
The wine tour might have been the highlight of our trip to Italy. Filippo, our guide, was very knowledgeable and explained a lot about the history of winemaking in Chianti and what to look for when tasting and purchasing wine. All three wineries were beautiful and very different. I highly, highly recommend.
The experience was well organized & easy to book & manage! We loved our time with Felippo and exploring the wineries!
We had the best time! Francesca was the perfect guide for our super fun group, and we had delicious wine. Everything we tried was wonderful and all the staff at the wineries were great as well. Overall we had a wonderful experience and we would definitely recommend to others!
We had a GREAT experience. Francesca was incredibly knowledgeable and so helpful with questions. The 3 wineries on the Chianti tour were fantastic. Despite similar types of wine each felt like a unique experience. The wineries were small and family run. Highly recommend!
Had an amazing time with Filippo! Very knowledgeable and informative about Tuscany and Chianti. Would highly recommend!!
The whole day was incredible, and Filippo was amazing! The region was beautiful and the wines were delicious. We would do it again!
Amazing host, and amazing wines. The best price by far for the best experience.
We absolutely LOVED our tour. Filippo brought energy and passion from the start. He provided history and personal anecdotes that made our trip an experience we won’t ever forget. The wines were great but sitting down and eating with locals at one of the boutique wineries was definitely a highlight for us as we made our journey through Italy. There’s nothing better than hearing first handed experience and Filippo did just that. Would recommend this to anyone even semi-interested in wine and history. Also - Filippo is a great driver 😁
AMAZING! My husband and I, along with two of our friends recently visited Italy and fell in love with the country! During our stay in Florence we booked a trip with Angela to explore Tuscany. The wineries she hand selected for our group were phenomenal - all were small production wineries that took the time to teach us about their wine production process, the correct way to smell/taste wine, and much more. I highly recommend booking with Angie if you plan to explore Tuscany during your trip to Italy. It was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation! Thank you Angie!!!
This was the highlight of our trip to Italy! We went in the off-season (end of November) and it was still beautiful and perfect. Our highly qualified guide, Filippo, was the best! So knowledgeable of the wines, wineries, and history of the region due to being a local to a nearby village in this Chianti region (also gave plenty of other suggestions in Florence). We already rethink our wine shopping now that we have the knowledge of what to look for to have a wonderful and headache free wine (all the wineries were organic so less sulfites, yay!). Each of the wineries offers cheese with bread and unbelievably fresh olive oil (November is the time for fresh press harvest) and the 2nd winery (Lombricaia di Montalbino) was where we had a delicious lunch with the most bubbly and passionate guide for the winery, Chiara. It was an authentic tuscan meal with a beautiful view of the countryside in a very charming restaurant that felt like we were having a family dinner. The day flew by and it was the best part of our trip due to it feeling so intimate and relaxed. Highly recommend this, well worth the price!
We had a beautiful experience with Tuscan Wine Tours! Angela was very organized and communicative confirming all details ahead of time. Our guide Filippo was just fantastic; very friendly and knowledgeable sharing all kinds of information about the region, the agriculture, food, the wineries and of course...wine! The wineries and countryside were really gorgeous, and the it's obvious how deeply ingrained the love of their craft is. Highly highly recommend Filippo and this company...it's a must if in Florence to get out into the countryside and see how the agriculture, the architecture and the people come together to produce such an exquisite wine. Bellissimo!
Excellent wine tour - Fillippo was a gracious and warm tour guide that's extremely knowledgeable! The passion of all of the winemakers we met was incredible.
What an amazing tour with Claudia! Passionate, knowledgeable, and so much fun learning about Chianti, DOCG, DOC, IGT, and super Tuscany wines. We did a private tour on Sunday. Claudia was right on time at the meeting point, and really went above and beyond by sharing recipes with us, helping us get transportation for all the wines we purchased, and helping get us a taxi the next day. Highly recommend!
We took a wine tour with Andrea and had a blast! Not only were the wineries we visited all unique but Andrea spent time to explain how taste wine and what to look for in color, taste, etc. All three wineries served Chianti but each one had unique other offerings. They explained the process of winemaking and showed us cellars and the property. The perfect day trip from Florence. Such a fun group and the best tour guide!
We had a fantastic day with Francesca as our tour guide - the day flew by!She is so knowledgeable and we learnt so much.The wineries we went to were all great and we also had a lovely lunch at one of them.This was a highlight of our trip, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone.Tack Francesca 😊
This tour was everything we could have hoped for and more. The whole experience was a nice pace, a very relaxing day with great people. Filippo was an amazing guide- extremely knowledgeable and super fun to spend the day with. The wineries we went to were absolutely beautiful, the wine was incredible, and we had vegan accommodations for lunch, which was so appreciated! Our lunch was also fantastic- we ate and drank great yesterday! We very highly recommend this tour if you enjoy wine and want a more relaxed vibe of a day with great wine and great company.
This tour was the highlight of our trip. Filippo was fantastic with his knowledge of the area, wines and suggestions. The three wineries were wonderful boutique and all different. We received private tastings and a tour of all the cellars. The lunch provided was an authentic taste of Italy at a wonderful young winery. We would highly recommend this for anyone and if we are ever back would use this tour program again!! Thank you for such a memorable experience!
