Overview
Begin your day trip with pickup in central Siena. Meet your guide and hop aboard your minivan, setting off toward Montalcino.
Travel into the Tuscan hills and stop first at a small winery for a walk among the vineyards. Swirl and sip the famous Brunello di Montalcino, and check out the cellars with your guide.
Next, arrive in the town of Montalcino, the region’s namesake. Soak up some free time to roam the area independently, enjoying the views of the valley below, perusing the shops or tasting more of the celebrated Brunello wines.
Afterward, journey to a family-run winery, where you’ll meet the winemakers. Delve into some of the region’s culinary favorites with a lunch of antipasti, pasta or risotto and dessert, complemented by delicious local wines.
Appetites sated, continue to the ancient Benedictine abbey of Sant'Antimo. Learn about the stunning structure’s history as you follow your guide inside. On occasion, visitors will hear the monks singing Gregorian chants while taking in the scenery.
Top off your trip with a visit to a third winery for a fascinating lesson on production, the aging process and more. Take a seat for a final tasting before returning to Siena.

A Must Try
Lindsey_R, Apr 2025
This tour is a MUST DO in the Siena area. Private tour very intimate and unique. You learn so much and have the best experience. I’m sure it’s the best around. Thank you so much for a wonderful day!
5 stars!

Cannot recommend this tour enough. We visited 4 cities in Italy, and this was by far the favorite activity of the entire trip by everyone. The wineries we were brought too were non tourist trap places and most of the time people’s own homes. Delicious lunch was included. Have to shout out our guide Paolo- he was AMAZING! So knowledgeable, spoke outstanding English, and took good care of us.
Fabulous Guide

Matteo was wonderful and entertaining. Lunch and vineyards were outstanding. A trip that was truly great. Vintners treated us like family with great warmth and were a wealth of information. Matteo taught us the history of the Siena area with humor and knowledge.
This tour was well worth...

This tour was well worth the cost. We went to three smaller wineries in different areas of Montalcino. Learning about what makes Brunello di Montalcino different was fascinating. Out tour guide was amazing so well informed. I would do this tour again.
