This tour was beyond what I had expected. It was a memorable experience with a small group. We visited 3 different wineries, each had excellent selection of wines. We could see the cellars, they explained us the wine making process in depth. Our minivan driver was very knowledgeable and was very nice. She educated us about the region, process and challenges of wine production. She answered all our questions about and related to wine. Our 2nd stop at Montelcino at wine producer’s house was far beyond than we had expected. Lorenzo explained to us about the wines produced at this place in great detail. I had the best pasta which I ever tasted at this place. We requested vegetarian meal, it was so delicious and fresh. We order some wines to be shipped back to our home country. This was definitely the trip to remember.

We had an incredible wine tour in Montalcino with Emanuele, and he truly made the day unforgettable. Not only was he personable, fun, and easy to get along with, but he was also extremely knowledgeable about the wines, the wineries we visited, and the rich history of Siena, Montalcino, and Florence. He gave us great recommendations around Siena and shared stories that added so much depth to the experience. What stood out the most was how he made the day feel personal. He remembered all six of our names and treated us more like close friends than clients. If you’re looking for a wine tour, I can’t recommend this one enough, especially with Emanuele as your driver and guide.
