  • Wine delicious. Directions to the place, not reliable.

    The Winery itself was interesting and the food was good. The wine was delicious. The map route was horrendous- I don’t know whether it’s the Sat Nav or the coordinates but it sent us up un drivable roads and along many steep roads and walks. Had we known exactly where we were going we could have driven right to the square above the actual wine cellar/ shop. I’d recommend using a different address.

  • Very good tour of winery,...

    Very good tour of winery, in-depth interesting detail of wine making process; food was good. Only caution, the city is difficult to find parking, usually outside the city walls, plan on extra time to find parking and walking is uphill.

    Honestly I wasn't sure what to expect but Montepulciano is a beautiful little town with some nice shops and restaurants. We had a scheduled wine tasing and lunch. The tour of the wine cellars was pretty quick but informative and it was impressive to see the caves. The wine tasting and lunch was excellent. Our sommelier was very friendly, had an extensive knowledge of wines and wine making, and had a great way of explaining the various wines of Montepulciano as well as wine making in general. The lunch was good and consisted of local cuisine. Our sommelier recognized quickly that my daughter was pregnant and immediately had the chef prepare alternative foods without the meats and cheeses without even having to ask. I didn't feel any pressure to buy wine.....but since it was so good, I did! I was pleasantly surprised and would recommend!

    We booked this expereince expecting a visit to a vinyard, instead we went in the shop, in the cellar and had lunch in a freezing so called tasting area. An expensive tourist trap! We were glad to get out of there

    This was a great experience for a group of 10 friends. We were able to walk down under through the wine cellar and learn about its history, storage and aging. We sampled wines with a sommelier (Flavio) while enjoying excellent appetizers and two-course lunch of our individual choices. It was a fun atmosphere and time flew by. Afterward you can purchase the wines you enjoyed.

    The wine explanations by Nikolai was outstanding. He is very knowledgeable and personable wine tasting were a bit skimpy for what was paid in total you barely got a glass of wine Service by Viator. Was terrible. Asked for selections. And when sent in. Did not accommodate, when questioned there were only denials
