About Montalcino Wine Tours
Brunello di Montalcino is Tuscany’s most prestigious red — a pure-Sangiovese wine aged for years before release, grown on the hills around the village of Montalcino in the cinematic Val d’Orcia. A Montalcino wine tour visits these wineries for tastings of Brunello and its younger sibling Rosso di Montalcino.
Most tours run as day trips from Florence or Siena, pairing cellar visits with a Tuscan lunch and drives through the postcard Val d’Orcia landscape. It’s a more refined, less party-oriented tasting than Chianti — the wine is the point.

What Travelers Say
"The experience was amazing. We got time to enjoy the cities at our own pace, the guide, Jacobo, and the driver were very friendly. The wines and the cheeses were excellent."
"The guide, Jacob, was excellent, as was the driver. The bus was comfortable and it was just the right size group!! Not too big!! Definitely worth the price to visit the 3 towns and have some wine!!!"

"Great day. Lovely places in special Pienza. Very nice tourguide Alex."
"Fredrico was an amazing guide on an amazing trip! we really enjoyed every stop and the breathtaking views were well... breathtaking. The tips and knowledge Fredrico shared were amazing. The description does say it is not appropriate for those in wheelchairs but note there are a lot of stairs and climbs, can be difficult for older folks."
