Brunello di Montalcino Experience: 2 Wineries & Farm Lunch
What your day looks like
Spend a full day discovering Brunello di Montalcino on a small-group tour focused on authentic family-run wineries and real local traditions. The experience is built around two very different family-run wineries, each offering its own philosophy and style of winemaking. At the first estate, you’ll explore the cellars and learn about traditional Brunello production, followed by a guided tasting including Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. Later, a second boutique winery introduces a more contemporary approach that blends innovation and tradition. A guided tasting helps you compare styles, techniques, and grape expressions, giving you a deeper understanding of what makes Brunello unique. A traditional multi-course Tuscan lunch made with seasonal local ingredients is included during the day. The tour includes some free time in Montalcino, giving you the chance to explore the medieval village, visit wine shops, or enjoy the views. More than a tasting, this experience offers a true connection with local people and traditions. You’ll return to Florence with a deeper understanding of Brunello and the feeling of having experienced Tuscany beyond the usual wine tour.

What travelers are saying
We can't say enough positive things about this tour. We were lucky enough to have Alessandro to ourselves the day we went to Tuscany, and he was a fabulous guide. So knowledgeable about the area - he is a local - and provided a lot of insight that larger groups would not provide. We stopped at 2 wonderful wineries and sampled delicious Brunello wines. Staff at the wineries spoke perfect English and we were able to ask questions and take our time enjoying the experience. The "farm lunch" turned out to be lunch at a castle! Which was also a winery, and we shared a wonderful meal with our guide. The countryside is gorgeous, so many beautiful towns and stops along the way. 10/10 experience!
Luca made our day of wine tasting absolutely magical! I would highly recommend this tour!
