The highlight is an unforgettable Tuscan T-bone steak, perfectly cooked and paired with a glass of quality local wine.

This is a message of Ian from Canada who visited our wine estate near San Miniato while staying in Tuscany with his family:
Hi Consuelo
Thank you for your e-mail.
I wanted to drop you a note of thanks for arranging such a wonderful day for our family.
To begin with, the tour of Lucca with Wanda was fantastic. Her historical knowledge made for a very interesting morning and her enthusiasm throughout the tour brought the town to life! Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to Wanda.
And just when we thought things couldn’t get any better, we had an absolutely wonderful afternoon during our wine tasting tour at Cosmo’s estate.
Laura (from Ireland!) was a perfect hostess. She took us on a relaxing tour of the gorgeous grounds (with lots of grapes to sample), explained the wine making process and finished with a casual and very enjoyable hour of outdoor wine and olive oil tastings in the family gardens. What a perfect way to spend an afternoon. We purchased some wine and olive oil and both were a big hit with family and friends back here in Canada.
Thanks again, Consuelo, for organizing our day, (suggesting that we see Pisa on our own) and allowing us to meet such wonderful people like Wanda and Laura. Our memories of our day in Tuscany are fond indeed and we would highly recommend our tour experiences to others.
Hopefully we will come to visit once again. If so, we will be sure to contact you.
Yours truly,
Ian
