About this activity

You will depart from Florence at 9:00 am in a private air conditioned minibus. Arrive in the quaint Tuscan village of Montalcino at around 11 am and explore the town.

You will then travel to a nearby family-run winery that produces the famous Brunello di Montalcino wine. Once there, you will have a private tour of the vineyard and have the chance to see how wine is produced, where our aim is to share with you all the secrets about terroir wines and the differences from a big-scale production. After the tour, enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch of locally grown ingredients, paired with genuine traditional wine.

To give you a deeper knowledge of this wonderful wine, you will stop at a second vineyard on the way home, where you'll also have the chance to taste the Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino produced on the premises.

You will then take a beautiful route back to Florence that will leave you breathless.

Arrival to Florence is scheduled at approximately 6:30pm

The tour was outstanding, and both of the wineries that we visited were excellent. We sampled both Rosso and Brunello wines, including an outstanding Brunello Reserva at one of the wineries. The lunch at the second winery was fantastic, with home made pasta! Our guide was engaging and extremely knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to taste great wines in one of the most picturesque areas in Europe.

We had a great experience during this wine tour! The wineries were each unique, especially enjoyed the second stop at the smaller family owned winery. The people, the views, the food and definitely the wine, were all superb. Would recommend this tour to others.

Amazing tour - as a family that knows about and enjoys wine, this trip was really excellent - especially loved the historic Tricherchi Winery and we had wine shipped to the US. Lunch was great and we had a really wonderful time.

We had a wonderful time. We loved the tour and the fact that we went to small local vineyards that are organic and sustainable. The lunch was amazing and all locally made. Fresh meats, yummy cheese and the meat sauce on the pico was delicious. We spent so much time enjoying the wine and the food at the first stop that we had a quick tour through Montalcino. It was siesta time so most places were closed. Would love to go back and see more of this lovely countryside. Our guide Gilberto was knowledgeable and kept us on schedule.

This was one of the best tours of our visit to Florence. My sister and I had heard of the Brunello wine region in Montalcino and decided to book a small group tour highly recommend. Tomasso was our tour guide and he was not only knowledgeable of wines and the wine regions of Italy but also extremely down to earth and humorous. He made the tour very enjoyable and memorable. We visited the homes of two small wine producers, toured the vineyards and wine cellars where the wine is processed, tested the different wines, and then enjoyed a customary Italian lunch and wine of course with the winery owners. We also did a walking tour of the small town of Montalcino. This was a full day excursion and well worth it! The wine was so good, we had a case shipped back to the USA so our family can enjoy a little taste of Italy during the holidays this year.

Our tour guide was Gilberto, who was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. He never made us feel rushed at any point and he was great company throughout a very long and enjoyable day. The two vineyards we were taken to were small family owned and operated Brunello producers. We were made to feel welcomed at both wineries. When we arrived we were given a tour of the vineyard, which started at the vines, then to the production area and finally to the cellars. This experience enhanced our knowledge of Brunello wine production. Lunch was provided at the first vineyard, which was a wonderful traditional Tuscan meal that included homemade pasta, cheese, hams and dessert and of course wine. We were both purring over the pasta made with simple ingredients and fresh tomatoes grown only meters away. We appreciated the break between visiting the first and second winery, as we were given a tour of the town of Montalcino. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Florence. Highly recommend this tour to any wine enthusiast.
