As the journey from Florence to Montalcino takes approximately two hours, we recommend having a hearty breakfast before departure.
Definitely worth doing! This is our 2nd tour with Italy & Wine and I would highly recommend them. The experience from booking to drop off was impeccable. Andrea, our guide, was a wealth of wine knowledge & a delight to spend the day with. I am looking forward to going back & doing another tour asap.
We learned a lot from Andrea and had a very enjoyable time. I really appreciate having a local talk to us about the wine, the area, the culture etc, and Andrea was especially considerate. Also, going out a bit further to experience the Brunello and see Montalcino was definitely worth the drive! It was a perfect ending to our Florence vacation.
What a wonderful birthday I had in charming Montalcino in great company ! Andrea was a joy & very knowledgeable about wine & the region. Fortunate to share this day with another great couple . All on the hunt for my Ferragamo & enjoying fantastic wines along the way! Met both winemakers & enjoyed all the wines. Highly recommend
We had a fantastic day on the Brunello Big Red tour with Andrea. The whole experience completely exceeded our expectations. Andrea was the perfect guide for the day: knowledgeable, engaging, friendly, and enthusiastic about the people, the culture and the wine. We learned so much over the course of the day, visiting two excellent, yet very different wineries. Highly recommended!
