Quentin was a fantastic guide. He was extremely intelligent, well educated, and truly a wine expert. As a bonus, he also gave us great insight into the history of Italy and the Chianti region.

The olive oil and cheese were some of the best I have ever had. I kn...

At the 2nd vineyard we visited, we enjoyed an excellent lunch of cheese, meats, pasta and cheese ...
