Itinerary
Pick you up from your accommodation in Florence at 8,30am. Our driver will normally be at your address at 8,15am. We will then drive to the first winery which will take approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
At this family-run winery situated at the base of the hilly Montalcino, you will get immersed into the art of wine making. You are going to explore the entire estate, tour the vineyards and wine cellars and understand the production process of Brunello di Montalcino. Their interpretation of Sangiovese grapes has given life to world praised wines. During the wine tasting, you will taste a remarkable pallet of their best wines.
Tenuta Fanti belongs to the Fanti family since 1800. It was transformed from a sharecropping company to a winery, marking an important transition. The property extends across 260 hectares of land: 55 hectares of vineyards, 60 of olive trees and 145 of crops and forest which surround the new wine cellar built in 2004. The soil has a volcanic origin and it is rich in skeleton. The winery converted to organic agriculture, in an attempt to safeguard the territory and improve the quality of the products, while respecting consumers’ health. Here you will have a guided tour of the winery to understand the company’s philosophy, retracing together the various phases of wine production. You will understand the identity of the vineyards during the wine tasting in the panoramic terrace. The wines will be paired with typical Montalcino dishes prepared by the expert hands of their chefs. The experience will be accompanied by a tasting of their extra virgin olive oil.
The Villa i Cipressi Estate was born in the mid-seventies when Hubert Ciacci decided to expand his father’s small beekeeping business. The turning point came in the 90s when Hubert acquired more land fuelled by the desire to produce olive oil and fine wines. Today, Hubert, Patrizia and their sons Dario and Federico , manage the entire estate, each in their own sectors. Hubert’s wealth of experience directs this big little family group which sees Federico coordinating the honey and wine production as oenologist, Dario managing the sales and marketing while Patrizia contributes asa the image consultant. The family’s love of nature and great ecological spirit has led to the choice of using solar power as a basic energy supply and to the desire to convert the estate’s production to the principals of organic agriculture.

Angel was our guide today and this was a fantastic experience! Each stop was unique and the wines were wonderful.
Thank you Andrea for the wonderful review. We hope to see you back soon for another fantastic tour! Cheers!
We loved listening and knowing Angel. This day was memorable thanks to its good mood and the additional information that graced the vineyard visits.
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate you taking time out of your day to write it and we are so glad that you enjoyed your tour! Come again soon!!
Our guide Francisco was wonderful. The wineries we did visit were delightful. We learned a great deal about my one complaint is that I was really looking forward to Tenuta di Collosorbo. I was told that in the fine print it says this winery is not available on the weekend. I still can’t find the “fine print” saying that. If the wineries had not been misrepresented I would have given 5 stars.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your guide, Francisco, and had a wonderful experience at the wineries you visited. We’re truly sorry for the disappointment regarding Tenuta di Collosorbo. Some wineries are closed on weekends and bank holidays, and for this reason we cannot always guarantee visits to specific estates. Viator requires us to list sample wineries on the itinerary, but availability can change from day to day. We do our best to substitute with equally authentic and high-quality experiences, so that our guests always enjoy the best of the region. We always strive to deliver a 5-star experience, and it sounds like much of your day reflected that standard. Your comments will help us continue to improve how we communicate winery availability to our guests. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour in the future.
Where to start. Certainly by saying that it was a memorable day!! We had the desire to discover the Val d'Orcia in its beauty and its secrets. The person who took care of us and made us live this wonderful experience was, Stefano. He arranged everything for us. He guided us and passed on all his knowledge and passion. He accompanied us, told us and made us enter a new world. We visited two beautiful wineries, each with its own history and personality, where we tasted various types of Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino and why not, even a honey tasting, nothing short of exceptional!! He reserved lunch for us in a restaurant of typical Tuscan cuisine, in an unknown place and with a breathtaking view. And finally... discovering Pienza!! I can't find the words to describe it, except to live it! Pure magic! Grazie ❤️
Wow! Thank you for this outstanding review! We really appreciate it and hope you come back to see us again soon for another special wine tour! Thanks again!
Our experience with Angel touring small family run wineries in Montalcino was spectacular. He was not only knowledgeable and professional, but personable and made the experience an unforgettable one. Highly recommend to those who want the true Tuscan experience and enjoy trying incredible wines!
Thank you Addie for this very kind review! We are so glad you enjoyed your tour and your time with Angel. Hope to see you again soon! Cheers!!
Our wine tour in Montalcino was an absolutely fantastic experience, thanks to our incredible guide Angel. From start to finish, Angel was simply wonderful – not only very informative but also genuinely kind and engaging. We learned so much about the region and the winemaking process. The tour included three different tastings, each offering a unique insight into the local production, and a delicious lunch. Every aspect was perfectly arranged and thoroughly enjoyed. We would highly, highly recommend this Montalcino wine tour, especially if you have the chance to book with Angel. His guidance truly elevated the experience. We would gladly book another tour with him in a heartbeat! Thank you Angel for a memorable day in Montalcino!
Thank you Kelli for the wonderful review. Angel is The Best so we are glad you enjoyed his knowledge and hind heartedness for the day! We hope to see you back for a different tour soon. Cheers, Elizabeth
We spent the day with Stefano driving us to 3 vineyards. He picked us up promptly at 830 from our hotel and drove to the first stop. It’s close to a 2 hour drive. Stefano made the time go by by talking us and getting to know us and telling us a little history here and there where it was appropriate. We had an informative tour with the owner of a unique female owned winery. After, we sat down to a tasting of 4-5 wines. Next we went to a larger (but still small) production winery. We had a delicious lunch paired with 6-7 wine tastings and 4 olive oils followed by a tour of their production facilities. Our last stop was a beautiful family owned vineyard where we got to walk among some of the vines on the way to our tasting of 5 wines and their honey. Each winery tasting was of their Rosso and Brunneli di Montelcino wines. Yet each winery had a unique and completely different feel. The Tuscan scenery kept getting better on the way to the next stop. My husband and I took this tour together. We enjoy wine but we are very novice at wine tastings. We very much enjoyed this day being with just our guide, stopping at the 3 unique wineries and getting to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The tour is pricey but having Stefano as our private driver, not having to figure out where we wanted to tour, making reservations and worrying about driving ourselves made it all worth it.
Wow! Thank you so much for this kind and thorough review. This is a really nice tour and...Stefano is not so bad either 😜. We hope to see you again for another tour! Cheers!
We had been on wine tours before but this one was truly amazing. Our tour guide Paola was very knowledgeable on the space and made us feel so welcomed. The lunch that we had was not only one of the tastiest but super scenic! We love looking back and thinking of our day in Brunello and cannot recommend this tour enough!!
We are so glad you had such an amazing time on your Brunello tour! And it was the best day of your whole trip!!? We are grateful for your review and that we were able to make that happen for you! Thanks again!
Our private tour with Angel was perfect. He took the time to tell us the history of of each area that we were visiting. His knowledge was beyond excellent. He answered all of our questions (when we had them) and was an expert guide. We had the best time with him. We will definitely use him again when we book Italy.
Thank you so much! We appreciate you taking time to write a review and we cannot wait to see you again on another one of our tours! Thanks Cheryl!
Angel was an amazing host and driver. Very entertaining We enjoyed meeting the families who take pride in making amazing wines and had a great meal as well Highly recommend this tour
