Why we offer you the best Tuscany wine tours
It is mine and my partners wish to offer the best Tuscany wine tours possible. If you’ve done some research, you’ve no doubt found many companies offering cheaper tours. Why is that, and how do they do it? Well it’s extremely simple; first they attract you by offering convenient prices up front. They then recover their money by taking you to wineries that offer them commission on sales. Some wineries even offer commission just to bring people into the tasting room. It’s a common practice around the world, not just in Italy, and if you’re looking for a more economic solution, this could be the way to go.
Obviously these venues are very popular with guides, and there’s a never ending flow of vans and buses. Prepare to be seated in a in a crowded tasting room, with crowded visits to the cellars. You’ll be treated courteously, but with so many people service is going to be anything but personal. Of course you’re under no obligation to make purchases, but if you do, prices will be significantly higher to cover the cost of the commission.
What makes ours the best Tuscany Wine Tours?
My partner Myriam and I have decided to take a different approach. To meet our desire to offer only the best Tuscany wine tours on the market, we’ve come to an agreement with the wineries we visit. In fact we pay for our tastings and visits, and sometimes it’s a handsome price. We are and remain the winery’s clients not their sales staff, and we expect that our guests receive personalized attention. This also means your tour of the estate will be individual, and you will have a private table in the tasting room. Above all, we visit smaller wineries that strictly limit the number of people present, and we guarantee you’ll be well away from the crowds. We can also cater for totally private tastings, where you will be the only guests for the hour and a half of the visit. This comes at no extra cost, and if interested just ask.
If you exclude the occasional gift of a bottle of wine, we don’t receive commission. Not having to pay us commission, means that any purchase you may care to make, will come at a much more convenient price. However a purchase in neither implied or expected.
Our pricing policy
So our pricing policy is simple! The fee we ask covers our expenses and profit margin adequately, and we pay for tastings out of that fee. There are no hidden extras, and we have no need to recover money in other ways. This leaves us free to choose our venues based on the quality of the experience, and the quality of the wines. Last but not least, we take the most scenic routes not the shortest. We’re in no hurry, and want you to enjoy the Iconic Tuscan countryside to the full.
