About this tour
Spend 4–5 hours tasting your way through Val d'Orcia's wine country with a private guide. Start in Renaissance Montepulciano or a countryside farm, then move to a town restaurant for a three-course lunch paired with local Tuscany wines—including Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Between courses, you'll visit working cellars to see how winemakers age their reds in oak, taste fresh olive oil and artisanal cheeses, and hear the stories behind each bottle and plate.

What to expect
Your guide will meet you in Montepulciano or at a farm nearby, depending on your arrival. You'll head to historic cellars where barrels of Vino Nobile sit aging; staff will walk you through their process and let you taste directly from the barrel if keen. After, settle into a restaurant in town for lunch. The three courses arrive steadily, each paired with a different wine—reds dominate here. Between bites, you'll nibble on homemade bread and focaccia, local cheese, and cured meats. Expect to linger for a couple of hours over food and wine; this isn't rushed.
Good to know
Travel time from Montepulciano to the farm and back is included in the 4–5 hour duration. The town has steep, uneven paths; ask about their accessible vehicle if mobility is a concern. Wheelchairs and service animals welcome. Arrange your own transport to the starting point.
