Into the Vineyard was a top-notch travel planning experience. We took a 5 day wine tasting tour of Tuscany. Our itinerary was custom-designed to our specific desires. Communication was clear throughout the process, and was surprisingly affordable. Our guide was absolutely fantastic! We made unforgettable memories and are looking forward to planning our next trip with Into the Vineyard!

My wife and I just returned from the most wonderful custom wine tour of Tuscany, Italy courtesy of Into The Vineyard. Their wine experts developed the wine tour of Tuscany custom itinerary according to our wishes and did the entire trip very affordably. We met so many wonderful people along the way who shared their passion for wine making in Italy. The history and the culture that we learned was also quite amazing. We would certainly recommend Into The Vineyard to anyone interested in this type of a custom wine trip to any of the many countries they offer.

What a Trip! The Into The Vineyard team orchestrated a perfect holiday for our family. Paolo, Alessandra and the operations team were clear communicators, developed a very detailed agenda & addressed all of the little details that made all the difference.
[They] introduced us to many wineries that we were not familiar with - a variety of small family producers & iconic names. And they were able to secure reservations with the wineries we selected as well. Our drivers/guides (Alessandro & Andrea) were gems - always on time, service-oriented & safe driving of course - but they also shared local knowledge, traditions & added so much color to our experiences.

Our second wine trip with ITV. This trip to northern Italy was even more amazing than our previous trip to France. The team at ITV was able to arrange low-stress visits to popular locations, like St Mark's Square and the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua. They also arranged for us to experience some less busy sites, such as the Giusti Garden in Verona, and the Villa Pisani near Padua. The hotels they booked were all excellent, but the Villa Cordevigo, a former monastery, was stunning. Every driver, every guide, and every accommodation treated us like royalty. They were all happy to share their love of the region with visitors. Thank you Paolo and team for this wonderful experience.

First time using this travel service, and it was amazing! I should clarify by saying it is an “experience” service. After landing in Italy, every attention to detail, to travel, to hotels and itineraries and fantastic guides and wineries were planned for us… fantastic!! Plus they gave us a fantastic app prior to the trip to reference [all the] hotels, wineries, travel plans, train tickets, phone numbers of transportation services, and guides we would be meeting… so well planned!! I cannot imagine planning a trip like this on my own, nor being able to create the same experience, and once we booked there were absolutely no worries about logistics, and only wine, food, sightseeing, and joy! [I] absolutely plan to travel and experience a place with Into the Vineyard again!!
