Montepulciano Wine Tasting and Lunch

We had Massie has our driver and our guide. He was unbelievable and helped make this experience a unique and memorable one. We got to taste amazing wines and I can't wait for my orders of Brunello. The beauty of this wine region cannot be put into words and just has to be experienced first hand. This tour will give you everything you could possibly want in a wine tour with breathtaking views, excellent wine and amazing food. All the wineries have a great system for ordering wine, grapa and olive oil. There is no comparison on the quality of the wild boar salami and the pecorino cheese. This is just simple a must do if you have time in tuscany and want a great wine tour. We took 3 wine tours and the wineries we went to on this tour had the best wines.

We loved this tour! Great wine and great history. City of Montepulcciano was the highlight! We recommend this anyone who likes wine tours and seeing areas outside normal tourist areas!

Not exactly as we expected from start to finish. Our driver was switched out the morning of the trip and we weren't sure if he knew exactly what the expectations for the tour was. He drove very fast and that was somewhat alarming. We went to three different wineries and sampled delicious wines, bread and cheese. We were supposed to have lunch at the third winery but were served more cheese, bread, along with salami for lunch which did not exactly meet our expectations. When we got back into the van, the driver asked me what we were given for lunch and I told him. He said, "No pasta, lasagna?" I told him no food other than bread, cheese, salami and of course wine tastings. It was not exactly the kind of trip I would recommend for people who wanted to savor the Tuscan experience and learn a little about wine. The tour operators need to lock down their plans and instead of just driving us, they should check that the experience we are having is exactly what they are selling to us. It could have been much better for the price that was charged.

This could have ended after the 2nd tasting which was wonderful. The 3rd stop was not needed, boring and extended the LONG DAY well past what it should have been. We were soo late that the traffic prevented our guide from dropping us off at our hotel and we had to walk home - not that thats a bad thing but after walking all day - with bags in tow, it was a let down.

First two wineries were really good, interesting and informative. Wine tasting at the first one was good - second one was too many wines and no breadsticks to help clear the taste. The visit to the town was too short to be of any value and just delayed lunch. Lunch was at three (we left at 8 a.m.). The lunch was just samples of three meats and cheese. It was not good The third winery presented as a commercial visit to their store.

Great tour and scenery! Wine is amazing! Very interesting history of the castles! A lot of walking of stairs, not necessarily easy for anyone with walking issues. The drive is beautiful but the drivers are crazy!!!

This wine tour is fantastic. The pick up was so easy, the guide was informative and the vineyards were incredible! The tour selects 3 unique experiences. We went to a larger winery, a family run vineyard then an older family Montepulciano winery. Lunch was served at the last and it was a once in a lifetime experience. All three were very unique, but amazing. The day was smooth, easy and we could drink the local wine without a care. I highly recommend booking this tour for a good tasting of Montalcino and Montepulciano in one day. We enjoyed every single second of the drive, the touring and tasting! Well worth the price and the booking.

We very much enjoyed the Montalcino part of the trip; the wine was fantastic and the managers knew everything about the production. It was a wonderful experience!!!

We absolutely loved our wine tour! Quality tours and tastings at each location that were all arranged ahead of time for us.

My wife and I had a lot of fun on this trip and would recommend! It was a long drive from Florence but once we reached Montalcino and then onto Montepulciano we were glad to have come! Our driver was terrific and so were the tour and tasting guides at each winery. If you're in Tuscany and want to get a good overview of these two wine areas, as well as see some parts of the area that you might not otherwise (outside any of the bigger cities) I would strongly recommend taking this tour.
