Giovanni was a welcoming, wonderful host. He provided an itinerary which suited our group, offered history of the area, and a local's insight to the delicious food and wine of Montelcino. Lunch at his family farm should not be missed.

Do not hesitate to book this adventure! It's the best fun in the world. Giovanni was a perfect guide and host. He's a foodie, a wine expert, a world traveler, and a nice guy. On our tour, we learned about the area, the land, history, wine making, and much more. He was very flexible and adapted to our needs seamlessly.

1400 euros for basically a van service for 8 hours. Giovanni was very friendly at booking time and booked two winery visits for us (one with lunch) and stops in some towns along the way. We were not told what to look out for or any information about the areas we visited. We did not have the area food and wine expert that was advertised, so we basically had a nice driver for the day. We could have made 2 winery reservations on our own and hired a much cheaper “driver” for the day or use the van that we rented for the week that was parked in front of our inn all day. Oh well. Overall, I would not recommend the high price they charge for this van rental.

Chiara is an AMAZING tour guide. I have done several private tours in Italy, Washington DC and Paris and this one was at the top. We had an 18 year old, some 50 year olds and a couple of women in their 80s and everyone was blown away. From her attention to detail to being there with the van at the bottom of the hill to help the older ladies up the hill, everything was perfect. I give her my highest recommendation. We toured Montalcino and visited a winery, olive oil production and lunch at a farm to table restaurant.

We could not have had a better experience! Giovanni was so kind and informative. The winery's he chose were perfect, but the farm home meal was something special. And they were very accommodating to my vegetarian granddaughter, who also loved her meal.
The countryside views, spectacular. The vineyards and wine tastings were so nice, we learned so much about Italian wines.
But we did not make it easy on them! We got our dates wrong, Giovanni showed up on time, but we did not. I had to cancel the tour and beg for the following day. Giovanni made it happen. What I would give to have that meal again. So good!
Needless to say, we did ship home wines. It was everything we hoped for, and more. Grazie!

Highly recommend. We had a wonderful time, and the tour was very well executed.
We asked for a one-day tour of Montalcino wineries, and Giovanni put together the itinerary.
We were 7 travelers, wine lovers but not experts, stopping in Porto Santo Stefano aboard a SeaDream Yacht Club cruise. Our driver, Luca, picked us up at the port in a clean, comfortable, and spacious van. Luca was friendly, =knowledgeable, and funny.
We went to a medium sized, well known winery in the morning -- Ciacci Piccolomini D'Aragona. We toured the vineyard and cellar and tasted 6 great wines. And these were pretty generous pours for a tasting (this was a theme for the day). We lingered, drank, and ate, and liked the wine so much that we bought several bottles on our way out. With the strong US dollar, we were surprised by the reasonable prices for decently aged (2010, 2012, 2015) Riserva wines.
We had lunch at Tenuta Fanti. A beautiful, sunny day

Giovanni & his team were incredible. If you're thinking about doing a wine tour in Montalcino, this is the only tour to do. Gio was so kind, and knowledgeable and made our experience 5 star.
We visited a nice mix of places, from very small family-run farms to midsized wineries. Each place had a unique brand and take on the wine process so it was nice to see the differences in the process each family does. We loved all the wines, he made purchasing and shipping product home incredibly easy. I hope to get the chance to take this tour again on our next trip to Tuscany.

Montalcino Wine Tours met our custom request without hesitation and delivered a great experience. We were in a different part of Tuscany, and wanted only Brunellos and we were not disappointed.
Starting first with our guide for the day, Marco, and then the three stops for tours and tastings, including a wonderful spot for a private al fresco 4 course farm-to-table lunch. All were wonderful. All three producers were great and each one different from each other. Marco was also able to provide us with a few additional surprises along the way: A secluded Abbey, and stops to take in some breathtaking vistas from some unlikely places. The ride, the conversation, the itinerary - perfecto!
Our thanks to the team at Montalcino wine tours and the producers they took us to meet. We had a simply wonderful day and are leaving with some great Tuscan memories.

We can't possibly recommend Montalcino Wine Tours enough! Our whole experience with them was absolutely fantastic. On the planning side, Chiara was so incredibly helpful and always available to answer questions and give us options for the things we wanted to do. She even helped us arrange transportation out of Montalcino, which isn't the easiest thing to do. And then the experience itself was perfect. We did a Brunello wine tour with Giovanni, who is extremely knowledgeable about both the Montalcino area and winemaking (we learned more about wine in those hours with Giovanni than we have anywhere else), and it was everything we hoped it would be. Great wine, beautiful lunch, informative, and so much fun. Just tell Chiara and her team what you want to do, and they will make it all happen for you. Thank you SO much, Chiara and Giovanni! Our time in Montalcino was magical and everything we needed to relieve the stress of the last few years.

I've used them twice for wine tours, once in 2017 and once in June 2022. Both times I had a fantastic and knowledgable driver, awesome lunch, a well thought out and planned itinerary, and flexibility around my specific requests. This last trip in June 2022 we even had a little bit of extra time between appointments and they managed to find an opening at another winery, which ended up having absolutely amazing wine. These wine tours are as good as any I've had in other winery locations such as Napa and Sonoma. Highly recommend.

we are staying in Manciano and would like a full day trip to Montalcino , a winery and Montepulciano. Can you do it on any day from the 9th -12th of June.
Written May 18, 2019
We would like to schedule a tour between Sept 15 and Sept 30th. I see on reviews that different types of tours are available. We have 2 couples that would be interested in a wine tour with lunch possibly with pairings of wine for 3 people. How do we find the cost and types of tours? We are staying in Montalcino.

Ciao,
Il mio nome è Eduardo e io sono dal Brasile. Ho trovato il vostro sito cercando posti senza glutine in Toscana. Mi chiedevo se mi potrebbe aiutare.
Io vado in Italia il prossimo settembre con mia moglie. Lei è molto entusiasta di andare in Toscana ed è celiaca. Abbiamo trovato alcuni posti per il pranzo e la cena, ma non riesco a trovare alcun que Winery Tour in grado di soddisfare le nostre esigenze senza glutine. Sto cercando un tour per mezza giornata in un produttore di vino, come Greve in Chianti o qualche posto vicino a Siena (Montalcino, Montepulciano).
Se si potesse dare alcun indizio dove cercare un posto come questo, sarò molto grato.
Cordiali saluti
Eduardo Mobili
