The tour was well organized, the suppliers were excellent
Both Ornellaia and Petra were superb. The lunch at Ombrone was terrific. The setting, hospitality, and ambiance were perfect. Fantastic food and very warm, welcoming hosts. It was maybe the most enjoyable meal we had during our time in Italy. My grandmother was Sicilian, and every day at work, she would make lunch for my grandfather, father, uncles myself, and my cousins (do you think our business was a family business?). She retired at 92, and lunch has never been the same. Anyway, the food at Ombrone reminded me of her cooking, and I can pay no higher compliment. Our driver was Davide, and a better choice could not have been made. He was very friendly, courteous, patient, and informative. Absolutely would recommend Cellar Tours again, everything was done right.
