Amazing must do experience!!

Castello Sonnino
The wine tasting here was very informative and done in a very professional manner. They were very respectful as well. We got to see how their winery made their wine and also how they store them till they are aged before bottling. We bought wine here because the staff was very accommodating when we requested to have samples before the purchases. We highly recommend this wine tour in Florence, Italy.
