Tue Jul 08 11:18:28 -0700 2008 80293 lavendula 1 3849032 I agree with the others about the wine tour, and property, view, etc. I didn't know that they had anywhere to stay. Tue Jul 08 11:24:22 -0700 2008 3849014 189323 miamisage 2 3851075 I'm also interested in La Poggiolaia and Villa Il Pozza agriturismo stays if anyone has any thing to say bout' those? Tue Jul 08 21:50:02 -0700 2008 3849032 80293 lavendula 1 3905479 I have been on the tour and it is great. The lunch they put on is wonderful as well.

Are you actually asking about tour companies who will drive you to the winery? Wed Oct 29 04:45:40 -0700 2008 4135577 61567 Indy 67 4 4144871 No, I was asking about which employees were the best! I heard somewhere that there was one guy who was really great.

He was both charming and effective with people. He stayed with us for the meal and that was a great pleasure as well. He even offered his email to answer questions we might think of after the tour.

We encountered a few others in the course of ours and I believe we all ended up in the same area for the meal. Based on everything I saw, Gino is the one you want.
