About this tour

This seven-hour private tour covers vineyard walks, cellar access, and winemaking insights across Val d'Orcia's rolling landscape, with stops for photography and an organic lunch featuring house-made pasta and four paired wines.

What to expect
Your guide collects you in an air-conditioned van and drives through undulating Tuscan hills toward the first winery. Expect a vineyard walk where you'll see how Brunello grapes grow, followed by cellar access where the winemaker explains fermentation and ageing in oak. After tasting, you'll drive to a second estate for similar immersion, stopping mid-route for countryside photos. Lunch arrives around midday—organic, homemade pasta, cured meats, local cheeses, and dessert, all paired with at least four wines including the region's signature Brunello. Afterwards, you have time to wander Montalcino's medieval centre independently before heading back.
