Private tour from Florence to Montalcino, Montepulciano and drive through the Orcia valley. Brunello di Montalcino wine tasting with lunch in a small family run winery.Your english speaking driver will pick you up at your accommodation and will drive you to visit one of the best red wine production area of the world.
Montalcino is famous for the production of the red wine 'Brunello' that is really one of the most famous red Italian wines in the world. The medieval village, Montalcino, is very beautiful; it’s on top of a hill overlooking the Orcia valley and it’s the first stop coming from Florence after 1 hour and 40 minutes driving.
In this area you’ll be able to visit some of the best wineries producing this great wine, the Brunello. Another attraction here is the abbey of Sant’Antimo built in the XII century. The next stop is Pienza. This tiny medieval village is famous because it’s considered, by the historians, the first example of renaissance town. It’s also very well known for the production of Pecorino cheese. You will enjoy, even from here, a breathtaking view on the Orcia valley.
Montepulciano is the last stop. Another stunning medieval village built on top of a hill. You’ll love walking through the tiny streets in the centre of town and you’ll be able to taste, here, another very good red wine of Tuscany: the Nobile of Montepulciano.
This is a very flexible tour. The driver, in fact, will ask you immediately which are your interests. If you want to have a wine tasting, if you want to visit a cellar, if you want to spend more time to visit the medieval villages and so on. You’ll adjust the tour with your driver immediately when you will meet him in the morning but always in the respect of the time and the driving distances.
If you want to visit a cellar and having a wine tasting he will immediately call a winery to make a reservation for you in one of the best wineries where you’ ll surely spend a lovely time. It’ s possible to skip a village and spend more time in another one, or visit two wineries or even going only through the wineries. The most of people, anyway, choose to visit a couple of medieval villages and having lunch and Brunello wine tasting ia a winery in Montalcino.
