Why are there no joinable groups?
I don't do joinable groups because I prefer to give all my attention to people who know each other. Think of being in a car together with people you don't know and you need to get along with them for the whole day? What if you are a wine lover and the other couple isn't? Or you speak English and they speak German or Swiss? It would be a day of stress for all participants and I think you worked hard for your holidays and need to enjoy every single day of it.
What is the "Sniffbox"?
It's actually called a "Aroma bar for wine" but thank's to a client I changed it into "Sniffbox". It's a really cool item and a fun part of the wine tasting tour. With the content of 60 wine related aromas (plus salt) you will finally get the direct difference of the aromas you smell in the wines you are tasting. For me it's a personal working tool I use when do wine tastings, I started to bring it on tours and it had such a success, that I decided to bring it always with me.
What's about a discount?
You will be in a comfortable Van (VW Touran) during your tour. If you are a group of 5 people a 15% discount is applied on the single price and if you are a group of 6 people a discount of 20% is applied on the single price.
Is lunch included in tour?
Yes it is. My prices are WYSIWYG and there will be no surprises. What you read in the tour description is what you pay for.
Which languages do you speak?
I speak 5 languages: Swiss german, German, English, Italian and French.
Can I bring my Baby or small kid with me?
No, unfortunately you can't bring your child on the wine tasting tour. Adult children from age 18 on are allowed though.
Do I have to buy wine or items at the places we go?
No one is obliged to buy something. If you want to buy, it's of course appreciated by the producers, as they put there heart into there work and are proud of what they produce.
Can I ship wine back home?
Yes it's possible to ship over a shipping company your purchased wine. Almost all vineyards ship as well, but it's not possible to do mixed cases. The shipping cost is considered a door to door service, with custom declare included.
Do you offer city tours?
Yes, on request I can organize you a licensed guide for the cities of: Florence and Fiesole, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Lucca, Pisa, Livorno and the Etruscan coast.
Do you offer your tours to bigger groups as well?
On request I can organize groups up to 30 people. Please get in contact with me for further information.
How about insurance?
On a tour with me you are fully insured. I anyway highly recommend to buy a travel insurance! Check out Mondial Assistance for international travellers. Swiss clients please check out ELVIA.
Why do you give 1 Euro for each booking to 1 charitable foundation and 50 Cent to another?
Because I think it's important that only with a little help, someone gets supported. The first is Four Paws (see link) a charitable foundation for animal rights and gets 1 Euro. The second is Elisabeth Kübler-Ross foundation (see link) which helps people when they are touched by death and gets 50 Cent.
