Absolutely the best day of our trip. Stefano is a wonderful guide and he has composed such a nice experience for guests. The trekking was definitely reasonable for any fitness level (I was very out of shape for this trip) and really added to the experience, being able to see the beautiful countryside and historical architecture in the region. It was so special meeting the vineyard owners and hearing them talk about their wine with such pride. Lunch made by one of the wine maker’s mothers was out of this world good. Just remarkably charming. Stefano is knowledgeable in all sorts of things so kept the walking portions of the tour engaging and fun. He’s just a fun person to be around. I wish we could take him to Rome to lead the rest of our excursions on our tour of Italy! Book this experience - you will love it!

Stefano is a highly knowledgeable and friendly guide who is passionate about sustainable tourism. He is a sommelier and handpicked three wonderful wineries in Chianti Classico for us to visit. We did a gentle hike through the incredible countryside (about 10kms total over the whole day) which was interspersed with wine tasting and lovely food. We met some wonderful winemakers, who are clearly passionate about Chianti Classico and their wines. Wear good walking shoes, bring a hat and be prepared to have fun; it was an unforgettable experience.
