Begin your day trip with pickup in central Siena. Meet your guide and hop aboard your minivan, setting off toward Montalcino.

Travel into the Tuscan hills and stop first at a small winery for a walk among the vineyards. Swirl and sip the famous Brunello di Montalcino, and check out the cellars with your guide.

Next, arrive in the town of Montalcino, the region’s namesake. Soak up some free time to roam the area independently, enjoying the views of the valley below, perusing the shops or tasting more of the celebrated Brunello wines.

Afterward, journey to a family-run winery, where you’ll meet the winemakers. Delve into some of the region’s culinary favorites with a lunch of antipasti, pasta or risotto and dessert, complemented by delicious local wines.

Appetites sated, continue to the ancient Benedictine abbey of Sant'Antimo. Learn about the stunning structure’s history as you follow your guide inside. On occasion, visitors will hear the monks singing Gregorian chants while taking in the scenery.

Top off your trip with a visit to a third winery for a fascinating lesson on production, the aging process and more. Take a seat for a final tasting before returning to Siena.

Wonderful Experience

Daniel was a wonderful tour guide, as he had so much insight over many years of experience in the area. The tour felt very natural, and it felt like we were able to learn from Daniel’s interest in the subject. He was fun to talk to, and had great answers to any questions as it seems he enjoys what he does. The experience was great, and definitely helps us appreciate the work going into the varieties of wine in the region.

Highly recommend this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about wine and winemakers. The sites we visited were memorable with postcard views of the Tuscan countryside. Each of the wineries had its own character, and the wines were superb.

Great day out with knowledgeable guide

Really enjoyable day. Daniele, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about wine and the history of vine growing at Montalcino. The trip includes wine tasting at 3 wineries, all quite different on scale and we got to try 3 different wines at each winery - a rosso di Montalcino, a brunello, and at 2 of the places, a rose. Highlights were a wonderful lunch with the 3 wines at the second winery, and a visit to Abbazia di Sant'Antimo, an ancient monastery outside Montalcino. Would definitely recommend.
