Vittorio, the owner of Italy & Wine tours, is a wonderful host and his personalized service and attention to detail made our wine tour truly memorable. We drove though the majestic Tuscan countryside in his modern and spacious touring van, stopping in the historic village of San Giminano for a delightful lunch. The day long tour brought us to 2... more

In late August and for most of September our family toured most of Italy. One of the absolute highlights of our "Italian Experience" was the tour provided by "Italy & Wine" by Vittorio Del Bono! We were fortunate to be able to tour two wineries in the Montalcino area; le Potazzine and Fanti. Vittorio was extremely knowledgable and passionate with... more

My wife and I took the Brunello di Montalcino tour in mid-October with Vittorio Del Bono. The first thing I should say is that as a fairly serious wine collector I have done tours in places like Napa, Sonoma, Australia, and this tour was easily the best of them. First reason is Vittorio himself; it is rare to have someone... more

We were 6 female gourmet chefs from Norway searching for new knowledge about Montalcino and Montepulciano wines. Vittorio picked us up at our hotel and drove us to Montalcino where we visited La Polina, an organic wine and olive producer on the top of the Montalcino hills. He had chosen this producer especially since we were interessted in both wine... more

I was traveling with my 18-year old son in Florence and took the Italy and Wine tour of the Chianti region. It was more than i could have expected and my son was completely captured into wine culture by Vitorrio's presentation, attention to detail and knowledge. It was an experience for the both of us to always look back on... more

We had a wonderful day on the Chianti Classico semi private tour. The wineries were excellent and the time spent tasting was interesting and informative as well as FUN. We plan to return to visit the other wine regions and will absolutely use this tour company for wine tours. more

My friends and I planned a wine tour with Vittorio, and we received a much greater lesson than on the regional vineyards. We made personal connections with the land and the people. I now know a part of the history of Italy, the smell of the earthy region of Tuscany, and the beautiful people willing to share their culture. If... more

I signed up for the Chianti Classico tour. I was traveling by myself and thought that Italy and Wine's "Semi-Private" tour (which are limited to about 6 people) would be a great day trip out of Florence. As it turned out, the other 2 people who had signed up for the tour never showed, so Vittorio and I set off... more

My husband and I had the pleasure of a private Chianti Classico Wine Tour with Vittorio and it was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. He was very knowledgeable, well spoken (his English was very good), he was very accomodating and passionate about wine. We would take a tour with Vittorio again and would recommend his tours to anybody. more
