5.00We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our sommelier, Simone. His knowledge of the wines, the local region, the vineyards, and the growing and production process was truly impressive. He shared information in a way that was both educational and engaging, making the experience enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their level of wine knowledge. Beyond his expertise, he was personable, warm, and a pleasure to spend the evening with. He created a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged conversation and questions, and his passion for the wines and the region was evident throughout. My guests are visiting from abroad, and this tasting was unanimously named the highlight of their trip. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable, and informative introduction to the wines of Tuscany.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting with Simone. A talented and knowledgeable sommelier, he gave an instructive and really helpful overview of the local wine region with tastings of 5 different wines that clearly illustrated the characteristics of each wine. His presentation was engaging and he welcomed all of our questions. I would highly recommend a tasting session with Simone.

5.00We had Simone come to our Villa outside of Lucca for a wine tasting for a group of 16 of us. He put so much care and thoughtfulness into the experience, making it a highlight of our trip. With such a big group + small children, having him come to the house made it very easy, and the experience and setup were beyond our expectations. Thanks again!
Very successful birtyday present
