“The overall experience was good although we were taken to the incorrect Winery instead of taking us to Atessa Winery we were taken BR Cohn Winery where we lost about an hour of time and unable to stop at Sonoma Plaza to do some shopping. Did get to visit Aressa which the most beautiful of the three with absolutely beautiful and breathtaking views of vineyards in the hills. It was a very quick n rushed tour due to lost time although our guide Rick was awesome!!! Wines were excellent @Artessa!!!”

“This tour is a diamond tour! Our tour guide, Constantino and driver Alda were beyond words amazing. We thought we would only be visiting two wineries. We did visit two remarkable wineries in Montelpuciano and Moltelcino but we also had an incredible lunch in Montelpuciano and were given over an hour to walk around d the beautiful town and relish in its beauty. In Montelcino, we went to the oldest winery, had the best Brunello wine you will ever taste and visited their lovely town, to include the oldest Cafe, opened in 1888. This tour description doesn't do it justice, you MUST do this tour!”

It's a bit more expensive than some of the other tours but very good value for money and if you look at what you get this is actually less pricey, as you get much more, if you're going for the wines and to learn. Felt very safe and very included, but of course it will be a bit different with every group. I would 100% recommend this tour. Thank you!!!”
