Private Tour: Montalcino Wine Tasting Experience

Francesco was absolutely wonderful! He was fun, knowledgeable and easy going. We had a great afternoon learning about wine and all things Italy! Would highly recommend!

We had an amazing day with Francesco. He was knowledgeable, and so much fun! We went to 3 beautiful vineyards, all with a different approach to how they make their wine. However, the end result was always the same, a gorgeous glass of wine. I will recommend Francesco to all my friends for their future visits to Tuscany.

Our guide Francisco gave us excellent tours of small and medium vineyards, olive orchard and olive oil processing facility. They were all terrific and he also shared incredible expertise on history, wines, pairings and olive oils. Do not hesitate to ask for him when booking a tour.

We had the most amazing experience! Francesco picked us up in the morning with a bright smile and amazing energy. We felt instantly comfortable with him. He took us to two wineries and a tour of Montepulciano. We learned all day long as he is a brilliant Sommelier and true professor of wines. His metaphors and storytelling are not just lessons about wine, but also lessons for life! Both wineries have amazing character and you are able to learn about the uniqueness of the wine in the region. We recommend this tour to all wine connoisseurs.

Francesco made our winery tour an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable right away. His knowledge of the wineries, wine-making process, local history, and the region was impressive, and he shared everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. What really stood out was his passion and enthusiasm, which made the tour feel personal and memorable rather than just another excursion. He was attentive to our group, answered all of our questions, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. Thanks to Francesco, this was one of the highlights of our trip. We left with a greater appreciation for the wines, the region, and the people who make it so special. We highly recommend Francesco to anyone looking for an enjoyable, informative, and unforgettable winery tour experience! 🍷

Fantastic tour. Francesco was very knowledgeable and a great host. We went to 3 great family wineries and had amazing food.

Phenomenal. So informative. Very personable.

Our driver and host, Francesco, was a wonderful leader and shared his humor and knowledge of the area readily. We visited two wineries, a large estate and a smaller family run estate where we had lunch and pairing with the wines. Francesco introduced us to a new way of experiencing a wine tasting with emphasis on the palette and wine effects. He also tried to give us some words to describe the tastes and smells, very thoughtful and elegantly expressed.

What a great tour! Francesco was an amazing guide showing our group of wine newbies how Tuscans thoughtfully craft and enjoy wine. 10/10 would go back for another tour anytime

I was fortunate enough to have two days with Francesco - one day to Montalcino for wine tasting and the next day the olive oil experience including even more wine tasting. First - what a lovely man he is - a trained sommelier, he educated us about the wines but without making us feel foolish for our lack of knowledge. He took us to three wineries which were incredible, each in their own way and we had a delicious lunch. Then our second day we did olive oil tasting and learned all about the process, how it’s made, what to took for in selecting an oil and so forth. I would take his tours again and again - I wish him nothing but the best.
