Generous portions of wine. Very informative. Lunch at the vintner’s home was a highlight. Tour guide knowledgeable.
We had a wonderful day exploring the area of Montalcino with Keko. He is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. Each winery was a unique experience and really told the story of the area. The lunch was incredible, the owners were so warm and embracing. We highly recommend this experience! Keko is the best.
We had a wonderful time exploring 3 different vineyards in Montalcino, where we were warmly welcomed at each. Marco, our tour guide was knowledgeable and so much fun! By the end of the day I felt like he was our friend. We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the second vineyard, Cava D’Onice with the wine maker Simone in his home, made by his wife (The Big Boss as Simone calls her!) Marco took time to take us to an 11th century Abbey to explore, which was stunning! I highly recommend this tour, with any luck you’ll have Marco as your guide!
A very enjoyable trip! The wine tastings at 3 wineries were well chosen being informative and fun. The group size was good. Lunch was absolutely amazing - wine, food, location and company! A perfect day.
Paolo was amazing! He explains and shows you around in detail! Will 100% do this again! He makes it very intimate and very interesting for everyone. Will do this again specifically for him!
Amazing small group winery tour. Absolutely loved meeting the small winery owners/workers. Such a cool experience to get a behind the scenes look in an intimate environment. The olive oil from Cava d’Onice was the best we’ve ever had and their lunch room was incredible!
The tour was simply amazing!!! Kiko was simply phenomenal!!! He was an encyclopedia of wine making process as well as the region. You can tell he was a local resident of the region. His passion and love for the region was evident the entire tour. The tour of the wineries were beyond expectation, it was awesome to see the 3 different family run businesses instead of the large corporate wineries. Lunch was out of this world with a true Italian home made meal in the home of Stefano and Lucia, who were also gracious hosts!!! The whole tour was a priceless experience!!!!
Amazing tour. Julianna our guide was awesome. Loved Cava D'Onice winery and having lunch with the owner/winemaker. Loved the entire experience
Excellent trip!! Juliana was an amazing guide. She was so knowledgeable plus a great driver. The tour was well worth the cost. We visited three wineries plus had a chance to tour montalcino. We learned so much about Brunello and Tuscan wines. I highly recommend! 5 star!
This was the best wine tour I have even been on. The guide was so knowledgeable, funny and professional. The wines were amazing and the owner of the vineyard on the second stop made the most amazing lunch we have ever had.
