    We had a fantastic day with Vincenzo as our guide! He was funny, helpful, taught us a lot about the local wines, olive oil, and history of the local area. We spent a lot of time at the vineyards, olive tree orchard, and had delicious 4 course lunch with wine tasting at a local winery. We highly recommend this tour!

    Our tour guide did an awesome job in getting everyone ready for the ride and ensure all safety measures are in place before we headed out for the trip. He is very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about all things about this wonderful wine country. I will strongly recommend this tour to my friends!
