2.From Siena: Brunello di Montalcino Guided Wine Tour W/ Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 357 reviews · from $203

A small-group Brunello di Montalcino day from Siena with three winery visits, tastings, a winery lunch, and a stop at Sant’Antimo Abbey.

“Enjoyable day out, and Georgia was a fantastic, knowledgeable guide. The vineyards were all the kind of postcard settings we imagined and the lunch was excellent! The wines - and winemakers - were interesting but not to our taste - which is a very subjective assessment! We would happily have spent a little more at each vineyard instead of the stop in Montalcino. An enjoyable day out and highly recommended”

“Lovely day and easy itinerary - starts early but it's for the best - starting in san Gimignano before crowds arrive, then moving on to a great winery - lunch is an option there, unless you're bringing food or buy something to go in san Gimignano, this is really the only lunch option so I recommend it. The tour itself is a nice mixture of walking and wine interspersed so you never feel overly tired. Vincenzo was an excellent guide and really added a lot of history to what we saw. Great day overall highly recommend”

7.Brunello di Montalcino Wine Tour of 2 Wineries with Pairing Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 103 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $276

Brunello from Siena in a small group: tour two boutique cellars, taste in Montalcino and Montepulciano, plus a paired lunch.

“The only issue was the original description I signed up for makes you think we would go to winery in Montalcino then lunch somwhere with tastings then also to Montepulciano for another tasting. I really wanted to go to BOTH and actually we only went to 2 places (not 3) and never went to Montepulciano so I thought the price I paid $577.92 fo 2 people was way overpriced for this experience.”

We learned a tremendous amount about the process of making olive oil, and the history of this place. The tasting was informative, delicious and substantial (we tasted so many different t olive oils and learned how the taste on different foods).”

A guided Montalcino wine tasting in a medieval castle with a sommelier, vineyard walk, and 3 local wines with bread pairings.

“Imaginei que fosse visitar a vinícola da Brunello, porém é um castelo antigo que produz vinhos rosso e Brunello. A guia foi super atenciosa, porém, a degustação é apenas uma taça nada bem servida, sem direito a repetir e só vale a pena para quem esteja na região, não vale a viagem de Firenze.”

“A visita ao castelo é bem rápida. Mas o guia fala da propriedade e produção do vinho no local, responde as perguntas. A degustação é perfeita! Servem com uns petiscos, incluindo queijo pecorino de diferentes maturações. Achamos q no final faltou mostrar onde compra o vinho, foi finalizado meio solto, e acabamos nem comprando no local. Vale muito a experiência!”
