What to expect
You'll meet your guide at your hotel, then travel through vine-covered hillsides to working wineries where you'll taste wines directly from the producers. Expect to spend time in cellars and tasting rooms learning how Brunello ages and develops. At midday, sit for lunch at a traditional spot—the menu shifts with seasons but centres on pasta, meat, cheese, and vegetables sourced locally. Wine flows throughout. The pace is relaxed, designed for genuine conversation with your guide rather than rushed photo stops.
