I loved! Group was small, tour organized. I loved Pienza and Montepulciano. We only had a wine tasting. We wanted to make the second one, but there was no more space - maybe it would be good to book more in advance! Only one caveat: TERRIBLE air conditioning on the bus. We're sick from the heat!

Simply incredible!!!! The D'orcia Valley has the most beautiful landscapes I could ever see live. The affection we were received by Mr Mário in the winery for tasting the brunelles was unforgettable. The cities are charming, each with its own peculiarities ... Anyway, we recommend SUPER this tour! It will be forever in our memory
