About this tour
A five-hour private tour through Tuscany's Val d'Orcia wine country, led by a local sommelier who knows every slope and vintage. You'll visit a family-run organic Brunello estate, walk the vineyards, descend into the cellars, and taste at least four wines alongside their own olive oil. The route includes a Mercedes van pickup from your hotel and unhurried time wandering Montalcino's medieval streets afterwards.
Highlights
- Vineyard walk and cellar tour at an organic family winery
- Guided tasting of four+ Brunello di Montalcino wines with sommelier
- Local extra virgin olive oil pairing
- Val d'Orcia landscape drive with knowledgeable local guide
- Self-guided exploration of medieval Montalcino town
- Private Mercedes van with air-conditioning throughout
What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned van by your sommelier-driver, a Montalcino native fluent in English. The drive crosses the Val d'Orcia's famous rolling terrain, then you'll spend roughly two hours at the winery: a proper walk through the vines, a tour of the cellars where Brunello ages, and a seated tasting of their wines paired with their olive oil. It's unhurried and hands-on, not a quick tick-box visit. The final hour or so is yours to spend in Montalcino's old town—narrow streets, local shops, views from the fortress—before heading back.
