Board your coach or minivan and head out to the Chianti countryside. Once arrived at a small-scale, local wine estate, you’re handed a glass to use for wine tastings during the evening.

Tour the wine estate, visit the onsite chapel, and taste wines along the way. The highlight of this trip is a 4-course dinner under the stars in a courtyard decorated with candles and torches.

Sit down for a welcome aperitif with bruschetta and Tuscan cured meats. Move onto the “pappa al pomodoro,” a Tuscan bread soup. The rest of your outdoor dinner includes a meat dish, dessert, and water and wine.

Your night ends with drop-off at the Villa Costanza Florence Coach Station.

BAD TOUR
Thomas_S, Sep 2023
Aweful. The tour bus took us to a castle and we were late. Arriving after sunset, raining so dinner was inside and crowded with about 45 people. The court and cellar were too dark to see anything. The food was just ok, wine was sparse. DO MOT DO GHIS TOUR!
Memorable experience

Dinner in the Vineyard
Robin_D, Oct 2022
The tour began with us meeting our tour guide at a local train station which was located outside of the city center. This was concerning as we knew we were going to be arriving home late and everything would be shut down but fortunately the young lady and the bus driver said they would take us into the city at the conclusion of the tour. We then boarded a comfortable bus and we were off! We were driven into the hills surrounding Florence to the Poggio Ai Laghi vineyard. When we arrived we were greeted by a member of the family who shared with us the history of their wine while he poured generous portions of their local products which they paired nicely with bread, cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. After the presentation we were led to a long table in the vineyard where we were served generous portions of wine a wonderful home cooked meal. The only thing missing was music. Thanks again for a wonderful night!
Must do when in Tuscany
Alyssa_C, Aug 2022
This was amazing! We had a beautiful night with an amazing host. You literally have someone cooking in the vineyard separate from the others.
Amazing 👏
Lorena_D, Jun 2022
Awesome! Got to meet really nice people. The staff and owners were amazing. They even offer meals for people with allergies. I highly recommend it.
Lackluster
Heather_G, Jun 2022
The coach transport was comfortable. The commentary during the transport was challenging to understand and not particularly engaging. The arrival at the vineyard was lackluster and awkward. We got off the coach and walked to a fenced in area where we were served a glass of white wine and directed to sit in a variety of chairs around a budget hotel-esq pool. It was hot and shade was minimal. No one really knew what we were supposed to be doing. During this awkward time, our group was discussing whether there was a way to get back to town rather than stay for the being. On the upside, they kept the white wine coming. Eventually we walked to the cellar, which was also lackluster. From there we went to picnic tables set up between rows of grape vines. Again, it was very hot and there was no shade. We were offered two different wines during the dinner. Both were fine, and we were given enough for our end of the table. Dinner was fine. Charcuterie to start then a meat course that included grilled sausages, chicken, and porch chops. We were offered the traditional biscuits and after dinner cordial to dip the biscuits in. The location was not particularly picturesque. There were two portable toilets for guest use, which was less than ideal. Overall, we were disappointed. The best part was conversation at dinner with table mates.
Extreme disappointment
Karen_F, Jun 2022
I’m left speechless and feel like this was a scam. We were expecting a beautiful winery experience . I think the phots of the winery restrooms says it all. (If you saw the inside, it was even worse -it’s been a long time since they had been emptied). The meal was supposed to include bbq meats, potatoes,lasagna, salami and cheese.ms. The meat was dried and overcooked and of poor quality and served on a patter of browned lettuce leaf. This platter was shared with the people around us. We also shared a small plated of cheese and salami and a bag of biscotti. THAT WAS IT. When asked about the rest of the meal that was in the event description, they plead ignorance. Ambiance was not as shown. No white table cloth, only pink paper napkins. Sat on long wooden bench not individual chairs. Minimal amounts of was served. On our end of the table 7 people to one bottle. The tour was a joke. I don’t know what to say other than we were so very disappointed with this experience and will be sharing this story with all family and friends . The only positive is we met some very lovely people.
Best tour guide, great wine, magical evening
Frank_S, Jun 2022
This is one of the best memories I will take with me from Italy. Be prepared to take a Tram to the Villa Costanza tram stop to meet your tour guides. Then Expect a bit of a ride on a tour bus to the vineyard. You arrive at the vineyard which is a modest farm. There’s a brief tour of the barns where the wine is made. Then everyone sits on long benches where you are served cold meats and a peasant dish as an appetizer which is then followed by unlimited fresh hot chicken, sausages and pork straight from the grill. The wine was delightful but the conversation and friendships formed over dinner from people from all parts of the world was the highlight. The ride back was filled with singing and laughter. Our guide was an extraordinary young woman who endured lots of singing on the bus back to Florence. She went above and beyond to make sure the group returned safely to Florence.

This was such an amazing time! Met great people, the winery was beautiful, the setting was romantic and personable and the winery family made sure to give you enough wine and delicious food to keep everyone happy and full!

The best lasagna in Italia!
Stephanie_G, Jul 2021
The coach was very nice. The tour guide arranged a Taxi after the evening for our large group of 5 since we stayed outside the city. The host was charming. We appreciated that we could order products and have them shipped home.

Dear customer, thank you for your feedback! we are glad to hear you enjoyed this experience. Have a nice trip in Italy!
Great (go hungry and thirsty)
Iara, Oct 2020
It was incredible! Me and my boyfriend had a blast. Amazing wines, olive oils and vinegars. Good food, but a bit too much in quantity, we thought it was a bit of a waste. Maybe ask about it before serving this huge amount of food would be more sustainable. The place is beautiful, I'd love to visit the old vineyard, but we went to the newest one.
Easily one of the surprise highlights...
mcallister.megan, Oct 2017
Easily one of the surprise highlights of our honeymoon! We sipped Chianti while watching the sunset. We ate a beautiful meal amongst the vines and met some great people at the table. A little further out from town but well worth the ride. Bring a snack for the bus or just grab a late lunch that day that is what we did... No worries on the way back though! We were full!
I was really looking forward to this...
Cheryl V, Oct 2017
I was really looking forward to this this trip and thought it was going to be the highlight of our vacation. I really wanted to see the Tuscan countryside and experience eating outside in the vineyards. However, it was raining and we had to wait for the bus in the rain for an hour because the bus was late. By the time we got out of the city, it was too dark to see any scenery. We arrived at the location, which was very nice, but again, too dark to appreciate it. We ate inside and for the most part, the people we were seated with were nice. The tour guide explained about the wines which were pretty good. The food was marginal which included some kind of dish which was bread crumbs mixed with tomato sauce, and dried out BBQ meat. The bruschetta, meat and cheeses were all very good. On the bus ride home, a woman who had too much wine and was sitting in the seat across the aisle from us, was throwing up. All in all, this trip was extremely disappointing. However it was mainly due to the weather and other circumstances. If I were to make suggestions to the tour company they would be: Start this trip earlier in the day so people can enjoy the scenery and give a tour of the vineyards and wine making process. Make sure you use a reliable bus company that will be on time. Don't make everyone wait in the rain. Change the menu by dropping the tomato mush dish and including pasta, and change the dried out BBQ meat to something else.

Jodilyn G, Aug 2017
This tour did not suck, seriously. Our group size was small, I believe we had less than 20 people...which made for an intimate setting. The drive out was a bit long, but it was nice to see a bit of the countryside. The vineyard itself was absolutely beautiful. Also, the wine was plentiful, and the food delicious and portions generous. Our tour guide, Adrianna which I may have absolutely got her name wrong/misspelled was a terrific guide and host. My partner and I had a great time talking with her throughout the evening. Overall, this was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it.

sandrafaler, Aug 2017
Amazing!!!!! This was by far the best tour we did on our trip. We went to Chianti and had wine and appetizers at a beautiful winery. We walked to where we saw such a beautiful sunset before heading down to the vineyard where they had lights and tables in the vineyard. We were seated between the vines. We had as much wine as you cared for and ate BBQ with grilled veggies and we started with a tomato and bread soup. The desert was panacotta and it was the best. They took us back to Florence on the bus and dropped us at the train station. Our hotel was close by but if you needed there were plenty of taxi's at the train station. It was such a beautiful place to have dinner and the wine was so very good.

Augustine L, Oct 2016
Overall a nice tour. Leaves late in the afternoon so you have all day in Florence. The drive is fairly long but with some great views of the mountains and the area. When you arrive they serve appetizers with a tasting of three wines. The two better ones are served last, and are not part of the dinner. The terrace has a nice view of the vineyards below. Afterwards you walk down to the dinner tables set in between the rows of vines with a bbq pit right there. Food is abundant but not spectacular.
