Typical Chianti Villages San Gimignano and Wine Roads by Minivan

A fantastic day out visiting the village of San Gimignano and wine tasting at local vineyards. A wonderful group of people to enjoy the day with. Please note the wine tasted at the vineyards was great but very different to the wine we purchased which was very expensive and poor tasting and unfortunately had to be thrown out

I spend hours scouring the internet for the perfect tour for our group. If you're doing the same, stop and book this tour (unless you're looking for a super high end / exclusive wine experience). The tour was approximately 6 hours. There were 4 of us, all 30 years old (ended up being our private tour) and we went on Sunday. We visited two wineries, which is more than enough with the amount of wine they pour at each! To start, we visited the super cool town of San Gimignano. The two wineries were both in Chianti region, but were very different. The first was a larger winery that was a bit more "commercial." The second was a guy and his wife and we had an amazing private experience and home cooked meal. Don't be fooled by the title, there was nothing "light" about the lunch, or amount of food that was provided. Also, if you're used to tours in US, there are no additional fees at the wineries, expect for wines you'd like to purchase and ship home (which I would totally recommend and the prices were surprising reasonable to do so). Chiara was our guide and was outstanding both with knowledge of wine and knowledge of Florence history, as she also guides tours in the city during the week. I would highly recommend this tour!

So enjoyed our trip to Tuscany. Angelo was an excellent guide! Loved exploring San Gimignano and the wineries we visited were spectacular. Great food as well. Would highly recommend.

This was a perfect tour of Tuscany. Roberto was a wonderful tour guide/driver. The van could have held more people but it just ended up being the my group of three friends. We had a great time. It was a highlight of our trip!

This tour was amazing! A full day visiting local villages in the Chianti area and stopping by two local wineries. It ended up being a private tour for me and my mom. Chiara, our guide, was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the villages, being a local she was very flexible and took us to some of her favorite local and scenic spots throughout the day. She also made sure we didn't miss any great photo opportunities! I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a local Tuscany experience!!

Lucinda was a marvelous guide. Her command of the English language was very much appreciated. She was so knowledgeable about the area. It turned out that my daughter and I were the only two on the your so it was private in that respect. We were not disappointed with anything we booked through Viator.

My mom and I booked this tour, and to our luck it was only us! We had the most amazing day in Tuscany. Saw beautiful sights, learned a lot and were able to stop and taking pictures of the incredible views. The food was spectacular! Loved visiting a small family run vineyard where we had a chance to learn a bit about the process and chat with the owner. We brought home some of her amazing jam to enjoy at home. Thank you for the wonderful day!

Best tour ever. No one else on tour so ended up being a private tour. 5 stars. Luciana, the guide was the best. Most informative and friendly and took us to great spots for fantastic views. All views were fantastic. Every stop we made was fantastic. The best was the stop at the winery where only another couple were there from another tour. Visited with owners, who were awesome. Wine is great as well. No reason to look for other tours as this is the best. As I said Guide Luciana was fantastic, as well as Simone. Go here. Don't waste time and miss out on a fantastic tour by going someplace else....

We loved this tour. We were the only people booked, and had a wonderful time with Luciana. She was very knowledgeable and so friendly.

When I think of Italy now, this will be the first thing I'd think of! Alessio was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He's patient with us and he drives very safely. The wineries we went to were amazing and had great wines (very affordable if you'd think of shipping). The lunch was also very good!
