I was introduced to Alexandra, of Select Tasting, through a friend in Tuscany who said if "you ever want to take a wine tour, you have to call Alexandra", and he was 110% correct. Alexandra didn't just arrange a 'tour' for us, she curated a unique experience. From beginning to end, our day wa...
I was introduced to Alexandra, of Select Tasting, through a friend in Tuscany who said if "you ever want to take a wine tour, you have to call Alexandra", and he was 110% correct. Alexandra didn't just arrange a 'tour' for us, she curated a unique experience. From beginning to end, our day was unforgettable! I can honestly say that I will never look at wine in the same way again. If you find yourself in Tuscany, I can't recommend Alexandra highly enough. She's absolute magic.You can’t beat a Brunello tasting at sunset in a castle built in 1441. Our guide Alexandra is an excellent sommelier.

You can’t beat a Brunello tasting at sunset in a castle built in 1441. Our guide Alexandra is an excellent sommelier. Not only did she teach us about the classic wines we were tasting, she taught us how to taste the wine to enhance the experience. She even tailored the wine flight to our preferences to make the most of our tasting. A truly memorable experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves wine.We have taken wine tours all over the world, and this is our fourth in Tuscany, and Alexandra is the absolute best. She is phenomenally knowledgeable, but also very down to earth and a delight as a guide. She knows the region as well as anyone, and seems to have personal relationships with every...
We have taken wine tours all over the world, and this is our fourth in Tuscany, and Alexandra is the absolute best. She is phenomenally knowledgeable, but also very down to earth and a delight as a guide. She knows the region as well as anyone, and seems to have personal relationships with every winery. We visited 3, and each was fantastic. The tastings were intimate, featured amazing and unique brunellos, and incredible food. I cannot recommend her highly enough - it was the highlight of our trip. Furthermore, we actually subscribed to her wine club during Covid (prior to meeting her - just based on other reviews). If you love brunello, it is a really fun way to have small batch vineyards (as well as larger producers) curated with wonderful tasting notes.We had the MOST wonderful wine tasting experience with Aleksandra! She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a fun and engaging personality which made a perfect day in the vineyards! She has wonderful connections with unique wine makers and so its a tailor made experience. We have wine tasted all o...
We had the MOST wonderful wine tasting experience with Aleksandra! She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a fun and engaging personality which made a perfect day in the vineyards! She has wonderful connections with unique wine makers and so its a tailor made experience. We have wine tasted all over the world and she knows her stuff. Was a great find, you should book her now!My wife, adult children and I just returned from an amazing family reunion trip to Italy – and the super-highlight was our Tuscan wine day with Alexandra. Everyone loved it – even my wife who doesn’t really drink wine and is certainly not as passionate about it as the rest of us. Later in our tr...
My wife, adult children and I just returned from an amazing family reunion trip to Italy – and the super-highlight was our Tuscan wine day with Alexandra. Everyone loved it – even my wife who doesn’t really drink wine and is certainly not as passionate about it as the rest of us. Later in our trip she was actually happy to enjoy a few Brunellos with us – thanks to that day! And yes, even though I loved the super Tuscan Alexandra also shared with us (a special treat), I did come to really appreciate the beauty of the single grape variety shown in the Brunello di Montalcinos (we also tried some nice Chiantis later in our trip but didn’t find any nearly as interesting as the Brunello di Montalcinos. We did though come across an occasional nice Rosso de Montalcino, so it was also nice to learn more about those as well). In a nutshell, the wine was wonderful, Alexandra was really great ...and I cannot recommend this highly enough!
