Enjoy a first stop at a small winery, walk along the rows of vines, explore the cellars and learn about the different barrels that can be used to make this 5-year old, prestigious wine. Enjoy an introductory tasting of the famous Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino wine and contemplate its complexities and legendary aging potential. Visit the hill town of Montalcino, the fortress where the brave soldiers of the Republic of Siena made their last stand against Florence and the town's squares and streets. Be welcomed into a family-run winery, meet its owners, winemakers or workers and take a visit around the farm before sitting down to enjoy a traditional Tuscan meal accompanied by the farm's delicious wines. Enjoy a brief visit to the mystical Abbey of Sant'Antimo, a church that was once part of a large Benedictine monastery and enjoy its peace and tranquility.

Enjoyable, informative and delicious!

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour to 3 different wineries to show the differences in Montalcino wines. Very scenic and lots to learn, plus the wines and lunch were delicious! We especially loved the first winery, Franco Pacenti. As it was Christmas they gave us some amazing biscuits and Grappa as well as the delicious wines and olive oil. We really enjoyed our day and the time spent with the other couple on our tour and Mattia, our guide, who gave us lots of information not only about the wine but the history of the area. He also gave us some great tips for other places to visit in the region. We highly recommend this tour!

A fun day with a knowledgeable guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide was very knowledgeable, and it was an enjoyable day. We visited 3 wineries. In the first winery we were given a short walk through the production process, with tastings in the house. We made a short stop at the Abbey. We had lunch in the second winery. Then a stop in Montalcino. And finally, a tasting at the third winery. To improve this tour, I would include a walk in the vineyards.

Wonderful vineyard tour with Giorgia

Published on Dec, 2024

Our tour guide Giorgia is wonderful. She provides a lot of background information on culture, food, and wine. Because she is a wine enthusiast herself, she can share quite a bit insights with us. My wife and I really enjoy her company and we will certainly recommend her to our friends.

A Highlight of My Women's Tuscany Small Group Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

I highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Enrico, was amazing, very knowledgable and accommodating of our group of 7. All three winery stops were great, but Chiara, from the Sant'Antimo winery, was an especially good host and the Brunello wines produced there are fantastic. 5 stars.

Wonderful
