What to expect
Your driver meets you at your accommodation and drives you into the rolling hills south of Siena. The morning starts at the first winery, where staff have arranged a reserved tasting space away from other visitors—you'll taste their Brunellos without crowds. Mid-morning, you wander Montalcino's narrow cobbled streets, taking in Renaissance architecture and Val d'Orcia's sweeping landscape. Lunch follows at a restaurant within or near a winery, where food and wine are paired against that famous view. The afternoon brings you to a second smaller producer for another tasting before the return journey. Your guide speaks about local terroir, production methods, and the region's past throughout.
