We spent a day with Franco on a group tour to Montalcino and Montepulciano. Franco picked us up at our B&B and took us to an amazing lunch and to two wineries where we sampled Brunello and Nobile di Montepulciano. Beautiful scenery, gorgeous villages and vineyards--there's nothing better than a day in Tuscany tasting wine and delicious food.

We went on a day long wine trip with Franco in the Brunello di Monticello region, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The tour was very personalized (I think there were 10 of us and 2 guides) and Franco and his assistant are very friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that they both love what they... More

We spent one of our best days in Italy in the Brunello region of Tuscany. Franco is a fantastic host and driver, and I would highly recommend him. He is a true lover of his home and a professional full of knowledge of the Italian wine industry. The best for me was our lunch at Trattoria il Pozzo, one of... More

We just had a wine tour with Franco through the Chianti region only a week ago. Franco's tour was by far our favorite thing we did in the 10 days we were in Italy. He brought us to gorgeous places that served by far the most delicious wines we've ever had along with cheeses, meats and liquors. He took pride... More

We went on a day-long wine tour in the Brunello region with Franco and it was fantastic. Visited two small wineries and got a lot of personalized attention during the wine tours and tasting. Bought some great wine to bring home. On the way to the first winery, we stopped at a little town where Franco bought local cheese and... More

We met Franco as a part of our Tour trough the wineries of Tuscany, we met at Collematoni and he was kind enough to explain from land to glass the whole process of making the Brunello from Collematoni, I will for sure recommend him to anyone that wants a pro!

The wine tour with Franco Fadda was informative, fun, and filling! Franco picked us up at our B&B right when he said he would and we were off for a nine hour excursion through Chianti. Franco knew his stuff. At the first winery, the gracious hostess explained to the six of us on the tour the details of winemaking and... More

Franco is very knowledgeable about the regional wines. The wineries, countryside, and lunch were wonderful. The van was very comfortable too. A great way to see the Tuscan countryside and learn about and taste local wine.

My wife and I toured with Franco for two consecutive days and visited both Chianti and Montalcino regions and had a great time both days. Both tours are very distinct but great in their own ways. If you are looking for a structured tour that visits 5-6 large wineries in your day of tasting then this trip is not for... More
