Friendly winery visits in the beautiful Montalcino region.

5.00We visited 3 wineries in the Montalcino region about an hours drive from Siena. They were all small family run vineyards with very friendly owners who shared their knowledge of grape growing and wine making with us. Lunch was delicious and the wines were fabulous. Our guide for the day was also very informative and friendly. We were given the bonuses of seeing the Abbey of Sant’Antimo and a quick visit to the village of Montalcino. Lovely small group and a great day.
Worth every euro!

All three wineries offered fantastic tasting experiences and were so welcoming. Lunch with the wine maker at his home was a highlight. This tour is an absolute must!

5.00This tour was a wonderful day out from Siena! Kekko was a terrific guide and driver - I learned a lot about Brunello, we tasted some great examples of it, and lunch in the family home of one of the winegrowers was just lovely! Highly recommended.

Rainy day in Tuscany

4.00We had a fun time on this tour. Our tour guide was Georgia and she was great. She had her hands full because unfortunately the day we went had terrible weather. Pouring rain and dense fog cover. If you’ve traveled to this area you know that the scenery is beautiful. For us we had to appreciate Georgia trying to paint a verbal picture of what we would have seen. She was very informative and knowledgeable along with having a good sense of humor. On vineyard stops and wine tasting were great. I would recommend this tour and Georgia. Hopefully you’ll also get better weather than we had
