Itinerary
La Fornace is one of the smallest wineries in Montalcino; a mother, father and son are in charge of the production (Rosso, Brunello…)! You will have a chance to visit their cellars and witness the production of the Blazon Wine. Here you will get a glimpse of what happens when quality takes over quantity!
Montalcino is a jewel of art and history immersed in the hills of Val d’Orcia. This medieval town immediately reveals to the visitor its ancient military structure, crossed as it is by narrow and steep streets that offer extraordinary views. Montalcino is also known as the village of Brunello. Here we will have some time to visit the medieval town.
With the visit of the medieval town of Montalcino we will stop for lunch in one of the most well-stocked wine shops in the city "Enoteca Grotta del Brunello" lunch will be accompanied by your choice of many Brunello labels. Lunch not included.
Weather permitting we will be able to visit a fortress that has now become a beautiful wine shop. La Fortezza is a symbolic point of reference for quality wine lovers and for those who want to know more about the fascinating world of Montalcino and its Brunello! Housed precisely within the ancient fortress of Montalcino, it is a center for culture and offers a wonderful view of Val d’Orcia. With its team of professionals and a stunning collection of local and international wines, La Fortezza wine shop is not to be missed!
Cacuci is an all-female, family-run company which produces only around 40 thousand bottles a year! Located northeast of Montalcino, it is influenced by its own micro climate. You will visit the cellars and the production of their wine and as well as their extra virgin olive oil.

We had an amazing experience on this private Brunello wine tour from Florence! Alessandro was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Tuscany and its wine culture. The wineries were authentic and beautiful, and the scenery throughout the day was absolutely stunning. Everything was perfectly organized, relaxed, and personalized. We learned so much, tasted incredible wines, and discovered parts of Tuscany we never would have found on our own. A true highlight of our trip to Italy — highly recommended! 🍷🇮🇹
Alessandro was above amazing. There is no rating high enough to express what a wonderful experience he gave. Plus his knowledge of Florence and Tuscany was incredible. We would request him in the future for any tours in Florence.
Highly recommend this tour. We visited places we would never have found on our own. Lunch was amazing. It really was three highlight of our Italy trip!
This is the second summer we have worked with Alessandro for our adventures across Tuscany, including Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Montalcino and more. He is absolutely amazing! From pre-planning to daily excursions and changing schedules on the fly, he always delivers. Alessandro’s knowledge of the region, history, wine and food is simply unmatched! We wouldn’t dream of working with anyone else!
Thank you Alessandro you made my husband a very happy person. Alessandro very communicative and friendly he built our program step by step and managed to organize the perfect day! We spent a whole day tasting Brunello in beautiful places for my husband's birthday. It was the best day spent in our 10 days in Italy. I recommend Alessandro without a doubt!!!!
We returned to Italy after a few years, we spent a whole week in Florence, we visited the Valdorcia and tasted the famous Brunello wine with Alessandro who made us discover secluded corners not beaten by mass tourism, such as the beautiful village of Monticchiello!! The wineries were family-run with an incredible mood, nothing touristy but original as per our request.. Alessandro proved to be an excellent guide and explained to us many things about Brunello and not only.. I could only recommend Alessandro as your choice if you want to taste Brunello.
Alessandro put together a full day private tour for 4 of us, he also chose a perfect restaurant for lunch, the vineyards in Montalcino were fabulous and we found some delicious wines to have sent home to enjoy once we get back! Do not hesitate to book your tour with him!
I would have rated higher than 5 if it was possible. Alessandro simply went above and beyond what you would expect from the moment he picked up our family of six at our apartment in central Florence. We went on two fabulous full day tours. His knowledge of Tuscany and the history is impressive and well explained. His tours were well thought out and easy going. He has been welcoming people from around the world for a long time. His mastery of the English language is phenomenal. I unconditionally recommend any tour offered by Alessandro and can almost guarantee total satisfaction. Grazie Alessandro. Sei semplicemente il migliore. Tony and family from Canada.
We had an incredible day with Alessandro! He made sure we had everything we needed & customized the whole experience based on what we were looking for! He also had a wealth of information to share about the regions we visited! The wineries were amazing and held a lot of charm & quality!
We had the most amazing time on this tour. Alessandro was easy to work with leading up to the day of the tour. We were picked up at our lodging right on time. Transportation was in a roomy and comfortable van. We visited a beautiful family run winery in Montalcino, some of the best wine of our entire trip, but the family producing the wine was the our favorite part. We wouldn’t have found this place on our own. Next Alessandro took us to an amazing restaurant in a small village for lunch. Delicious. Again a place we would have never found on our own. Finally we went to Montepulciano to explore the city and visit two ancient wine cellars. We highly recommend Alessandro. His knowledge of wine and the history of the area was profound. He is just a friendly, fun, and engaging person. 10/10.
