Tuscany Wine Food Adventures

We are in awe of Klajdi’s professionalism! I had an unforgettable birthday with him. We visited amazing places, tasted wonderful Italian delicacies and enjoyed unique wines. We learned so much about wine and food, and became even greater connoisseurs. In addition, there were surprises and gifts. This wine tour made one of my most wonderful birthdays! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

For our October 2023 wedding weekend, Klajdi ensured that we had the best food and wines available! His expertise in food and beverage were invaluable in helping us pick the best caterers, dishes, and wine pairings -- and our friends and family are still raving about how delicious everything was. We also hired him to do a professional wine tasting as part of our wedding weekend. I've done a lot of wine tastings in the US and abroad and I will say that this is the most educational, most interesting wine tasting I've ever done and not only did we have incredible wines, we all learned so much from it. Klajdi was so much fun to work with, has very strong (and very correct) opinions, and this all made our wedding planning so much easier. Klajdi made sure our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect!

The day spent with Klajdi was everything we could’ve imagined & more. Both my partner & I learned so much about wine gaining knowledge we will continue to use now at home. The wine/ food pairing lunch was a top highlight! Klajdi made the experience fun & easy going- a tour that felt tailored to us! We felt extremely safe the whole time & will be telling all of our family & friends about this amazing day! We cannot thank you enough Klajdi & we hope we can spend another day with you in the future 🍷 ☺

We learned about Klajdi on an Italy traveling group on Facebook and we were blown away by the experience! Each winery he chose completely stood out from the other from not only the wine, the charm of each place, the tours, but mostly from how Klajdi taught us about the wine. He also taught us about all the plants growing around and we got to taste so many fruits right of the trees. You can tell he truly loves what he does and loves to talk about wine, food and just experiencing life to its fullest! My husband and I are by no means wine connoisseurs but none the less we are very enthusiastic about drinking it and Klajdi was professional but not stuffy with his approach. By the end of the day we felt like old friends enjoying some good banter about how each wine made us feel/smell and we truly plan to come back and use Klajdi’s services again! Book him, you won’t be disappointed!

AWESOME EXPERIENCE-- My wife and I booked Klajdi for a tour of Montalcino wineries and it was the best decision we made on our trip. Kladji is an extremely knowledgable sommelier whose passion for Tuscany, wine, and food is infectious. It does not matter whether you are a knowledgeable wine connoisseur or have zero appreciation for wine. Khladji's number one priority is to ensure that he offers you the best experience tailored for you. He doesn't have to tell you, you can immediately note that he takes pride in his work, which is delivering an unforgettable experience on his home turf. He also makes sure that you feel like you are off-the-beaten path, working to provide you with what feels like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure (and it is). We really can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this experience. I highly recommend. You will not regret it.

We worked with Klajdi and Serena for our 70 person wedding in Tuscany. They were both so helpful from the beginning. They helped us find the venue and plan out a 2 day trip to meet the majority of our vendors. Klajdi also helped us with 3 days worth of events, including a pizza party on Friday night for which he helped source incredible wines.

We and our guests had a wonderful weekend filled with amazing and authentic Italian food and wine. I highly recommend working with them if you are planning any trip or event in Italy. We can't thank you enough for your help in making everything come together beautifully!

We had an amazing food tour where we visited an olive and a cheese farm. Ate the best ricotta cheese in the world!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we spent a full day enjoying Tuscany’s best produce!

A private tour of Tuscany with an expert sommelier…what more could one want?!? Fantastic full day spent with Klajdi covering the Tuscan countryside. For our personally curated trip, Klajdi chose two wineries and a pecorino farm in the vicinity of our lodging accommodations. At each winery we received top-notch service and meticulously critiqued each wine with the knowledge of an expert! Klajdi shared his knowledge, challenging us to uncover the complexities and robust flavors of each wine. Both wineries were placed in breathtaking settings, with one in a cave underneath the city of Montepulciano. This won’t be our last tour with Klajdi, as we’re already imaging our next adventure through the Italy countryside. Highly recommend hiring Klajdi for your next visit!

Kladji was FANTASTIC! We booked him for a private wine tour during our trip to Italy last fall, and it truly was one of the highlights of our time in Tuscany. Very educational, and exceptional wines. Lots of smiles and laughs! HIGHLY recommended!

Klajdi is the best of the best! We hired Klajdi to do a wine tasting & lesson for our wedding guests the day after our wedding. It was so much fun & we all learned so much! You can tell his passion for wine is unmatched. Not to mention, his hospitality makes you feel as though you are having a glass of wine with an old friend. Thank you Klajdi!

Unforgettable experience Under the Tuscan Sun with our Sommelier, Klajdi guiding us. Klajdi is amazing and is passionate about wine and providing his guests with a beautiful experience. Cannot say enough good things about him! Highly recommended!

I cannot recommend Klajdi enough. He was our Sommelier for our wedding and we continue to get compliments from our wedding guests at how delicious all of the wines were. We also hired Klajdi for a private wine tasting for our family the day after our wedding. His knowledge on wine and food is amazing and we all learned so much from him! He is the BEST. If you're looking for an amazing wine and food experience, look no further! You won't regret this experience!

If you’re looking for a great tour of the Tuscany wine regions, you need to book with Klajdi. My family group just spent three of the most amazing, informative, and delightful days with him and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. He is a professional sommelier and his passion for his love of “all things wine” shines through each vineyard we visited. Each tasting was exceptional.He took the time to explain each wine, it’s color, complexity, and taste. Klajdi chose three vineyards to visit each day and every one was different in its own respect. At the second tasting, we dined on traditional Tuscan food, which was always delicious, and he explained the food pairing with each wine. We traveled through the countryside of Tuscany and explored Montalcino, Montepulciano and the Brunello regions. Klajdi picked us up each morning and drove us through the most beautiful parts of Tuscany. His services were very professional and educational, and by the end of the three days, he left us wanting for more of Tuscany. If you visit the area, book a tour, dinner, or tasting with Klajdi…you won’t be disappointed.

Wow! Just wow! My husband and I did a private wine and cheese tour with Klajdi and it was a dream come true. We could not have have asked for a better day. He is so knowledgeable and funny! We drank a lot, ate a lot, and laughed a lot. We can’t wait for our next unforgettable trip to Tuscany! We will definitely be bringing friends and family along next time for a tour. Highly recommend!

Our day with Klajdi was an outstanding and educational experience. We were looking for someone with intimate knowledge of the Sangiovese varietal and the vineyards around Montalcino and Klajdi impressed us, not only with his deep understanding of those subjects but with his engaging style and personable demeanor. He was able to discern very quickly where we could profit from his knowledge and experience and he led our conversations in the most helpful directions. His ability to guide us through our wine tastings and winery tours was SO interesting and informative. Our lunch/tasting was exceptional, and his offer to chauffeur us in our vehicle made the day even easier.

We highly recommend the tour of the olive grove and mill, as well. A most interesting stop that helped us appreciate the importance of selecting the proper olive oil for the particular task. My wife, an accomplished cook, enjoyed this stop very much.

Thank you, Klajdi, for a wonderful day. We enjoyed getting to know you and learning from you. We'll certainly see you again the next time we are in Tuscany!

No words can depict the experience Klajdi provides. He gets you in and behind the scenes at 5 star Tuscan wineries. This was our 2nd experience with Klajdi. It was the highlight of our group vacation last year so we booked him again when travelling back to Italy with our daughter and son-in-law. Klajdi picked us up in Florence and provided an unreal, authentic wine/sommelier experience. Til we met again, which I hope is sooner rather than later!! Grazie Tanti Klajdi 🍷🍷

I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing two unforgettable day trips within the enchanting region of Tuscany, all thanks to the incredible expertise and guidance of our professional sommelier, Klajdi. From start to finish, each moment was a harmonious blend of education, delight, and pure enjoyment.
The first day took us on a captivating journey through Tuscany's gastronomic treasures. Klajdi orchestrated a seamless itinerary that led us through an olive mill, a cheese farm, and a remarkable winery in Montepulciano. His depth of knowledge illuminated every step of the way, as he passionately shared insights about olive oil production, the intricacies of cheese aging, and the artistry of winemaking. His ability to explain complex processes in an approachable manner truly enriched the experience.
The second day was equally exceptional, as we explored the renowned Montalchino wineries under Klajdi's astute guidance. With boundless enthusiasm, he led us through three distinct wineries, each offering a unique perspective on the region's winemaking traditions. The pinnacle of the day was the delectable lunch hosted at one of the wineries, where we indulged in exquisite local cuisine expertly paired with their exceptional wines.
What sets Klajdi apart is not only his extensive expertise but also his genuine passion for sharing his love of Tuscany's culinary and viticultural heritage. He effortlessly combined professionalism with warmth, making every interaction with him a memorable and insightful one.
Klajdi's educational prowess is matched only by his wealth of experience, making him a true authority in the world of sommeliers. His ability to provide historical context, anecdotes, and technical insights demonstrated the depth of his expertise. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or someone just beginning to explore the world of wine and gastronomy, Klajdi's tours are an absolute must.
I can't recommend Klajdi's tours enough. The seamless organisation, the wealth of knowledge shared, and the sheer joy he brings to the experience make for an exceptional journey through Tuscany's finest offerings. If you're seeking an unforgettable adventure that combines education, delectable flavours, and breathtaking landscapes, Klajdi is the sommelier to trust.

What an experience! Klajdi came to our villa in Tuscany and hosted a full wine tasting. ABSOLUTELY one of the highlights of our trip! So much fun!!
We had some people in our group that were very knowledgable and others that were less so. Klajdi was able to handle a large crowd of 12 people and keep everyone engaged and balanced the converation.
We spent hours together and we all still recall this event as being one of the top highlights of our trip! Klajdi was extremely generous with his time and we spent many hours laughing and learning together. We asked Klajdi to do the honour of opening a 1976 bottle someone in our group brought to celebrate. We all held our breath until Klajdi tasted the first drop and told us the bottle was still good!
He brought everything needed with him, set up the event perfectly and then cleared everything away in the blink of an eye.
We would absolutely use him again and we look forward to seeing him the next time we are in Tuscany.
Klajdi, We wish you luck in continuing to bring the joy of wine to many!

My husband and I did a private wine tour with Klajdi during our honeymoon and it was incredible! Absolutely the highlight of our trip. Klajdi took us to three wineries in Montalcino and explained the wine making process and wine tasting to us in a way that was so logical, thorough, and engaging. He was completely accommodating of our dietary restrictions (gluten free and vegetarian). I would highly recommend Klajdi to anyone visiting Tuscany, especially couples or honeymooners. It was a day my husband and I will always remember!

We met Klajdi through using the wedding planning services of his partner, Serena, and we were thrilled to learn that Klajdi is part of her team. Wine is very important to my husband and he had a great experience working with Klajdi directly to select wines for pairing with the aperitif as well as the dinner at the wedding. Klajdi was flexible with options based on the food selections and price point, and was instrumental in ensuring that the wines were served properly at the event. On the Sunday after the wedding, we took an excursion to a wine cellar in Montepulciano where Klajdi led a private tour and tasting for about 40 of our guests.

Klajdi is obviously very passionate about wine and food and shared that with us through his incredible hospitality, dining with us at some of his favorite local restaurants during our wedding planning visits to Italy. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he’s incredibly charismatic and has a great sense of humor. We and our guests learned so much from him and came home with a much greater appreciation for Italian wines.
