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!

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.

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.

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.

AMAZING! Guilana was the best guide! Each winery gave us such an in depth tour and had an amazing set up for the tasting. You will learn so much about the Montalcino wine and the certifications required to make the wine. The lunch included was so delicious. We were even given some time to explore each winery and stopped at a small town on the way back! One of the biggest hilights of my trip to Italy. The experience overall was a 10/10.

Paulo was only 3 weeks into the guiding job but acquitted himself with aplomb. His background in viticulture studies & his local knowledge added to the experience of going to 3 wineries - a beautiful lunch at one - & short stops in an old fortified town & an Abbey. It was a nice change to be just 8 of us (tota) in a van going thru the green countryside.

Very nice tour! Our guide Paolo was so nice and very knowledgeable about the area, the wine and wine production. We visited 3 vineries and the tours we got and tastings were excellent. We had lunch at the second vineyard which was very special - cooked by the mum in their home and the daughter joined us for lunch so we could ask loads of questions :-)
We had a lot of fun and the group of 8 people in total was perfect. A very nice day out!
