“This was amazing. We went to two wineries. The first had the most incredible views and felt like I was sitting outside of someone's authentic Tuscan home. The second had incredible service and wine with honey tasting! We bought some honey to send home! Then we went to a local farm for lunch which had the most wonderful hosts, incredible food and an authentic Italian countryside vibes. Finally we did a tour of Pienza which is simply the loveliest city with beautiful views. Out guide, Roberto was funny, friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We loved this!”

“The activities of this tour are perfect for my family( all adults ) . The wines and cheeses are excellent! The owners and staff of both the farm and winery are so hospitable and friendly making the tours very memorable for us . No photos can capture the beauty of Val D’Orchia , you have to visit and see it with your own eyes. The vehicle provided by the company is very comfortable and our guide Marella is professional and friendly. She showed up punctually at the time of our tour and put in extra time so that we need not rush through the last segment of the tour.”

“An exceptional tour with our exceptional guide Moro! We contacted Moro in advance of our planned tour to customize our tour a little bit. He was accommodating and created a plan that worked perfectly. We replaced the Wine Tour part because we had this planned elsewhere. We still did the Siena Underground & San Gimignano portions. These places were absolutely wonderful. In Siena we had the best pizza & gelato during our trip. Thank you for the recommendations Moro ;) including the dinner recommendation too! Moro was a wonderful guide and a pleasure to spend our day with. Pickup and drop off were easy as was the whole day. I…”

Sunrise hot air balloon flight over Pienza, Montalcino and Val d’Orcia hills from Buonconvento. Small group, smooth ride, ~3 hours.

“My Mother-in-law wanted to check off a bucket list Hot Air Balloon ride. And this could not have been better. The staff took care of getting the balloon ready and packing it up after. They were professional and competent. The basket held 6 people plus the pilot. The winds were almost non-existent. The take off was smooth and the landing was a perfect, light touch down. (I have been on others which were more of a crash landing.) We saw amazing sights of Tuscany and Siena under the Tuscan sun! Definitely a bucket list moment!”

13.Private wine, Extra Virgin Olive Oils & Cheese Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 12 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $66

A private tasting at Podere la Marronaia: organic wines, six olive oils, and a truffle-forward meal with San Gimignano views.

“Yes, the location is very nice, the building, the table serving and mostly the view to San Gimignano city, but there was a big disappointment, because our group didn't have an excursion in the vineyards and wine cellar, the guy who served us didn't knew nothing about wine making, just knew what he is putting in the glasses. If you are not interesting to get to know all about the whole process from grape to wine, then just for tasting wine, olive oils and balsamico with different snacks, it is fine.”
