Wine tour recommendations needed

My husband and I are very excited for our honeymoon to Italy in June. We are planning to go wine tasting one of the days. I really enjoy good wines and have been tasting many times in Napa, Temecula, and the Santa Barbara region. I'm beside myself to think I'll have the opportunity to go tasting in Italy! My husband is more of a craft beer drinker, but he enjoys a good red wine.

We need a tour recommendation. We originally hoped to book a driver so we could choose our own wineries, but we either had difficulty getting a response or it was out of our price range. For that reason, we are looking for a great tour. Would love to hear what you think. Here are a couple we are considering.

  1. Tuscan Wine Tours by Grape Tours (either the Wine Time or Super Chianti) it received the certificate of excellence from trip advisor and has great reviews. The cost is 120 euros each for Wine Time and 160 euros for Super Chianti. My husband thought this was expensive but if it's worth it, we will do it.

  2. Tuscan Trails - also received the certificate of excellence. Visit two wineries - 125 euros

  3. Other?

We took the Tuscan Trails Chianti Tour in 2014 and absolutely loved it. The included meal was one of the best meals we had on our trip. I still think about the asparagus risotto. The positive reviews on TripAdvisor are consistent with our experence. Book early!
