Full description
Brunello, considered the best wine in the world, has its ancestral roots in the passion of the inhabitants of Montalcino and in the ancient winemaking tradition, handed down from one generation to the next. The town of Montalcino, with its Sangiovese grapes the wine is produced from, stands on a charming hill that lets you relish its natural wholesomeness. The town, its ancient fortress, and some of the best wineries in the world are the focus of this specialized tour. The winemaking process which includes a long maturation in casks made from valuable wood, make Brunello the “Italian ambassador in the world of our winemaking reality.” Taste prestigious wines from some of the finest wineries in Montalcino and enjoy the wonderful surrounding area.

The guide was good, he told us about lots of things not just the wine. The first winery was great, some lovely food with good quality wines in generous pours. The second winery was beautiful. The town was nice, it is very small so an hour is enough time.

Our guide met us on time in an easy and convenient location. From start to finish, we thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Our driver was great and provided plenty of information and history. My only suggestion, is that the driver use a microphone. The roads are bumpy and the van, although very comfortable, was noisy and it was hard to hear sitting in the back with the AC going. So, unfortunately, we missed quite a lot of what was said. The scenery was beautiful. Our driver kindly stopped at a huge field of sunflowers for a quick photo op before we stopped at the first winery. We highly recommend this trip.

Couldn't fault our guide Vincenzo. He rates a 10 out of 10. Pick up on time, information provided good. First winery not that good. Was to include some food but there was not enough to go around so two of us missed out! The second winery was excellent. A great day.
