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”

A 90-minute Brunello wine tour and lunch in Castello Tricerchi with a sommelier, 3 local wine tastings, and a Tuscan 3-course meal.
“The place, the tour and the lunch were all excellent. However, when we bought a bottle of Montalcino from the estate, it actually costs more than if we were to buy outside, which was disappointing for us.”
From Siena, tour Pienza and Montepulciano in Val d’Orcia with two winery tastings, Chianti and Nobile di Montepulciano, plus snack pairings.
“I love Montepulciano! It was my favorite. I was blown away out when they give only crackers in the wine tasting. Then biscotti with Monsanto. The driver was rough and the bus did not have any oxygen because AC was not working properly. I was dizzy and nauseous most of the time. I told one of the guides but nothing changed. That old bus is not good for tours.”

If you don’t know much about wine from Tuscany, want to learn and drink with a friendly group, this tour is for you.”

“We enjoyed the wine tasting and touring the cellar very much. Fantastic guide. My wife had walking difficulties and the descent down the cellar steps was challenging. At the end of the tour he opened the door to the street, which would have been a good option for her at the beginning (to avoid difficult brick stairway) as well.”
