About this tour
Eight to nine hours exploring two family-run wineries in Chianti and Montalcino from Siena, with no more than six guests per group. You'll taste Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino alongside organic olive oil and balsamic vinegar, walk through historic cellars, and sit down to homemade pasta, local cheeses, cured meats and bruschetta. A licensed guide leads the experience at a measured pace, letting you linger and chat with winemakers rather than racing between stops.

What to expect
You'll depart Siena and drive into rolling vine-covered hills, stopping at two independently owned wineries where you meet the people making the wine. Each cellar tour walks you through how Brunello and Chianti reach the bottle, followed by proper tastings where you sip alongside super Tuscan reds and rosés. Between visits, you'll taste house-made balsamic and pressing oils. Lunch arrives as a spread of fresh pasta, salty cured meats, aged Pecorino and toasted bread—all meant to pair with what you've been drinking. The pace is yours; there's no bus full of thirty others pushing everyone along.
Good to know
