One of the best tours we have ever done! We had a great guide (Dario) and driver (Lorenzo), a comfortable bus, a small group (16 of us), perfect weather (end of October), gorgeous hill towns, fantastic wine and cheese tastings - what more could we ask for. We found the tour very well organized. We loved the small group and even with many different nationalities, we all clicked. The drive was lovely and Dario spent his time telling us all we needed to know without over-talking. We found this great value and a good deal of fun and saw Tuscany at her best. Thank you for a perfect day.

Description

Spend a day exploring the beautiful towns of Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano, enjoy two different wine tastings, and savour some world-famous Pecorino cheese!

The tour begins with a wine tasting at a farm in Montalcino, the land of the renowned Brunello wine. You’ll be enchanted by the charm of this special cellar.

You’ll then move up to the peak of the town, where a magnificent sight will take your breath away: sun-drenched rolling hills, ancient oaks, picturesque olive groves, scenic country roads winding through perfect vineyards, and isolated cypress trees.

The next stop is Pienza, which stands high upon a hill and offers amazing views of the entire Val d'Orcia. Enjoy a Pecorino cheese tasting session and explore the pretty alleyways of the town at your leisure.

The final destination is Montepulciano, home of the famous Vino Nobile vineyards, and more recently famous for being the filming location of the vampire movie, New Moon.

Visit the dungeon where the wine is stored, beneath the ancient walls of the winery, and enjoy your second wine tasting session before heading back to Florence.

Did someone say wine? 🍷
My sister and I took two tours with Ciao Florence. Our first one was a half-day afternoon trip to Chianti, where we visited two wineries and enjoyed wine tasting with yummy Italian appetizers. We enjoyed it so much that we booked a full-day tour for more wine tasting in Montalcino and Montepulciano, with a stop in Pienza for cheese tasting. Brando was our tour guide for both trips, and he was fabulous! Our drivers, Massimo and Ben, were kind and friendly. Thank you, Ciao Florence, for helping us make the most of our trip to Italy!
Nice wine tour in Tuscany
This was a lovely tour--mini bus of 18 was very comfortable. Liked the towns and felt we had a nice amount of time in each. Liked that we had the option to have lunch on our own. (However, that would have been nice to know in advance). Would have also liked to know which wineries in advance. The meeting spot is HORRIBLE. Hard to find and the ticket/news stand was even closed the day of our tour.
