Tuscan Wine School

I took a two hour class that predominantly covered the making of wines in the Tuscany region, Italy’s coding process for wine ratings, and the principles of wine-​tasting. It was fantastic. I had also taken this class prior to vineyard hopping in the following days, and I was able to put what I learned to use by setting up my week this way. I definitely recommend it. The teachers are enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable; their passion makes the class riveting and fun.

We can wholeheartedly endorse the Savor Siena tour at the Tuscan Wine School. Sofia gave us so much information about Tuscan food, including history and legends alike, and we not only sampled food at their location, but we also walked through town sampling as we went. Delicioso!

We had a great time on the «Savor Siena Walk» while visiting Siena. It gave us an opportunity to walk around the small town and experience some authentic Tuscan food and drink. We arrived at the school and were given a bit of wine to start while others arrived. We then packed up and left to walk around Siena. First we were taken to the butcher shop where we sampled 4 or 5 different cured meats & bread, we then were taken to a local coffee shop where we enjoyed an espresso or macchiato, and finished at a small gelateria and where we were able to sample as many flavors as we wanted. We finished at the school where we sampled olive oils, balsamic vinegar, chocolates, and finished with wine. Overall it was a great value for the diversity of food we were able to sample and the thoughtful commentary by our guide. We liked the gelateria so much that we made a point to return before we left Siena. If you have a free afternoon in Siena and want to take a break from museums and churches, check out the tuscan wine school.

We had a great time at the wine school! We learned a lot about wines in the region as well as the balsamic vinegar and olive oils.

While in Tuscany we participated in a guided tour hosted by the Tuscan Wine School. We visited two very nice wineries in the Chianti region and tasted some exceptional red wines. In between we had an entertaining lunch in Panzano. A wonderful, informative experience. I’d highly recommend.

«Taste of Siena Walk»
What a delightful way to start your day in Siena! For 10 Euros a person, this is a deal not to be missed. We met our guide at the school (Hubby & I plus 2 teens). We proceeded to walk the streets of Siena, stopping along the way to try coffee, cheeses, meats, pastries and get a bunch of food history. We wrapped up back at the school & tasted honey, balsamics & wines.
All in all, just a great way to kick off your day in Siena. It was just right, walking with a guide & taking in all the foods & history.
Our highlight was watching «Gino Caccino» cut the cheese!
