Taste Tuscany: Brunello di Montalcino Wine Tour from Florence

Our guide Francisco was wonderful. The wineries we did visit were delightful. We learned a great deal about my one complaint is that I was really looking forward to Tenuta di Collosorbo. I was told that in the fine print it says this winery is not available on the weekend. I still can’t find the “fine print” saying that. If the wineries had not been misrepresented I would have given 5 stars.

Where to start. Certainly by saying that it was a memorable day!! We had the desire to discover the Val d'Orcia in its beauty and its secrets. The person who took care of us and made us live this wonderful experience was, Stefano. He arranged everything for us. He guided us and passed on all his knowledge and passion. He accompanied us, told us and made us enter a new world. We visited two beautiful wineries, each with its own history and personality, where we tasted various types of Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino and why not, even a honey tasting, nothing short of exceptional!! He reserved lunch for us in a restaurant of typical Tuscan cuisine, in an unknown place and with a breathtaking view. And finally... discovering Pienza!! I can't find the words to describe it, except to live it! Pure magic! Grazie ❤️

Our experience with Angel touring small family run wineries in Montalcino was spectacular. He was not only knowledgeable and professional, but personable and made the experience an unforgettable one. Highly recommend to those who want the true Tuscan experience and enjoy trying incredible wines!

Our wine tour in Montalcino was an absolutely fantastic experience, thanks to our incredible guide Angel. From start to finish, Angel was simply wonderful – not only very informative but also genuinely kind and engaging. We learned so much about the region and the winemaking process. The tour included three different tastings, each offering a unique insight into the local production, and a delicious lunch. Every aspect was perfectly arranged and thoroughly enjoyed. We would highly, highly recommend this Montalcino wine tour, especially if you have the chance to book with Angel. His guidance truly elevated the experience. We would gladly book another tour with him in a heartbeat! Thank you Angel for a memorable day in Montalcino!

We spent the day with Stefano driving us to 3 vineyards. He picked us up promptly at 830 from our hotel and drove to the first stop. It’s close to a 2 hour drive. Stefano made the time go by by talking us and getting to know us and telling us a little history here and there where it was appropriate. We had an informative tour with the owner of a unique female owned winery. After, we sat down to a tasting of 4-5 wines. Next we went to a larger (but still small) production winery. We had a delicious lunch paired with 6-7 wine tastings and 4 olive oils followed by a tour of their production facilities. Our last stop was a beautiful family owned vineyard where we got to walk among some of the vines on the way to our tasting of 5 wines and their honey. Each winery tasting was of their Rosso and Brunneli di Montelcino wines. Yet each winery had a unique and completely different feel. The Tuscan scenery kept getting better on the way to the next stop. My husband and I took this tour together. We enjoy wine but we are very novice at wine tastings. We very much enjoyed this day being with just our guide, stopping at the 3 unique wineries and getting to see the beautiful Tuscan countryside. The tour is pricey but having Stefano as our private driver, not having to figure out where we wanted to tour, making reservations and worrying about driving ourselves made it all worth it.

We had been on wine tours before but this one was truly amazing. Our tour guide Paola was very knowledgeable on the space and made us feel so welcomed. The lunch that we had was not only one of the tastiest but super scenic! We love looking back and thinking of our day in Brunello and cannot recommend this tour enough!!

Our private tour with Angel was perfect. He took the time to tell us the history of of each area that we were visiting. His knowledge was beyond excellent. He answered all of our questions (when we had them) and was an expert guide. We had the best time with him. We will definitely use him again when we book Italy.

Angel was an amazing host and driver. Very entertaining We enjoyed meeting the families who take pride in making amazing wines and had a great meal as well Highly recommend this tour

It was one on the highlights of our vacation. My wife and I were picked up at our hotel in Florence and visited 3 vineyards. Great wines and delicious lunch served at Fanti vineyard. Unbelievable how beautiful the region is. A special thanks to our driver and tour guide Paola for making the day special.

Our day was just outstanding. Guide Angel arranged a great mix of three wineries for our 35th wedding anniversary all day tour. Smaller, family owned wineries without pressure to buy (but we did, because the wine was superb). We learned so much about the process of winemaking and were lucky enough to see the harvest, sorting and juicing. Fun. Angel, though, is what put the tour over the top. His personality and professional knowledge really made the day special for us. Thank you to our guide and new friend, Angel. We did the private tour. Pricey perhaps, but well worth it.
