YOUR HOSTS

Mirko an Italo Canadian born in Toronto has always been passionate about wines ever since he was a little kid making wine with his father. In the early 2000’s he started importing wines into Canada from Italy and slowly started to grow the business to expand into the USA and to most Northern European countries and as far as Australia. Mirko’s decision to establish himself in Tuscany in 2008 made it possible for him to be closer to his partner wineries and experience first-hand all the amazing possibilities this great land had to offer. In 2011 he started doing tours for the many clients requesting that he show them, the amazing countryside, cuisine, art history and architecture that Tuscany has. As it has become Mirko’s back yard we’re sure you’ll be very well taken care of.

Serge an American born of Ukrainian origin became passionate about wine at an early stage in his life growing up in upstate New York surrounded by many Italian immigrant families making their own wine, but even more so when he settled in Italy in 2005.

Serge is a down to earth person who is knowledgeable in many aspects of the wine biz but most of all a lot of fun! He’s looking forward in making your stay in Tuscany a memorable one.
