About Montepulciano Wine Tours
Montepulciano is Tuscany’s quietly great wine town — home of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a Sangiovese-based red poured in cantine carved beneath the Renaissance hill town. A Montepulciano wine tour pairs underground cellar tastings with the cinematic Val d’Orcia, often as a day-trip from Florence, Siena, or Rome.
It’s less crowded than Chianti and just as scenic. Most tours add a vineyard estate visit and a long Tuscan lunch — cheese, salumi, and pici pasta against a backdrop of cypress-lined hills.

What Travelers Say
"Amazing day! I am happy I chose this tour. Max the local tour guide who lives in Montepulciano was awesome!!! Beautiful place to visit and the lunch was okay but the wines worth it!"
"Day trip was excellent! Our guide Eduardu shared some wonderful facts about our destination and our itinerary while we traveled from Rome to the country side. The stops in the small towns were absolutely breathtaking as the views were beautiful and many photo opportunities. We even experienced a genuine Christmas market that just started for the season plus bonus…IT STARTED SNOWING! The experience felt magical and like a real Christmas setting. Highly advise this tour as it is fun and you get a few shopping stops as well as a genuine homemade meal, completely from scratch homemade made. A fabulous tour and a wonderful tour guide! Do the thing! BOOK THE TRIP!"
"Gorgeous views and didn't have to plan anything. Very comfortable bus and great food! Guides were very knowledgable."
"Sonia, our guide, was incredibly sweet and wonderful. Luca, our driver, was great, and Marta, our local guide from Montepulciano, was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed the stops and the breathtaking views."
