This was the second and third time we toured with Anna in the Tuscan wine country. We first worked with Anna in the fall of 2019 in the Chianti Classico area. We had such a wonderful time with Anna and loved her personality that we easily chose to spend two full days with her in the Brunello di Montalcino area enjoying some delicious brunellos, roso di Montalcino and some wonderful homemade food at 2 wineries.
We stayed in downtown Florence for our trip and Anna picked us up on time each of the two days. The drive to Montalcino from Florence takes a bit of time but driving with Anna is goes by quickly! The conversation around wine, Tuscany, food, tourism, Siena...anything you want to discuss! You see some beautiful hill towns on the way to Montalcino.
The wineries Anna works with and the people are wonderful. No problem if you don't speak Italian, almost everyone speaks English. Anna will interpret if need be.
The wines are terrific! These are not Tuscan wines you will find at your local wine store back home. This are more boutique wineries of special care and passionate people.
Each winery will gladly ship your wine to you as you desire. Or, you can bring your own wine luggage like I did.
This is a very special experience with a very special person in Anna! We tell everyone about her. In fact, we are coming back in the Fall of 2022 and plan to work with Anna again with tours to Montalcino (again) and Nobile di Montepulciano.
We have been going to Italy since 1999 and I can easily say Anna's tours are the most well thought out, considerate, fun and interesting I have taken. She cares about her clients and wants to get to know you before and during the tours so she can provide you with what you expect but to also exceed your expectations.
