Carlo was very informative, the only thing I might change would be add some time in the town of Montalchino. But, I do understand it’s just a half day tour. The wineries were great with so much information and history! Loved it.

We enjoyed this tour very much. It rained most of the day but we persevered and have a delightful time. The first tasting was in a wine shop and was enjoyable, but the vineyard with owner Mario was a wonderful experience!

Loved the morning part of the tour! Stefan made the tour very enjoyable and meeting Mario was a treat. Would give 5 stars but we did not particularly enjoy the second part of the tour. Felt that the proprietor of the wine shop was not very not very engaging and we actually were bored during that part. Thoroughly enjoyed walking around Moltacino! We did not get hotel pick up because we were not within the requirements, but Stefan went out of his way at the end of the tour to take us to where we had parked our car. Much appreciated.

This tour is not as described on the website. We were disappointed that we had no time to explore Montalcino and there is definitely not a guided tour involved. There are two wine tastings and one occurs in a wine store so if you want a true winery and tasting experience this is not it. We spent more time driving in the car listening to the guide speak Italian to one of the people in the group who also spoke Italian than anything else. Pretty disappointing.

This was a terrific experience...

This was a terrific experience. There were 8 people on the tour and we all got along great. The driver/guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and clearly knew the hosts at the stops we made. I was a bit disappointed that the first stop was a wine shop in Montalcino. I was expecting to visit a couple of wineries, not a wine shop. But, despite not being at the vineyard, we tasted several different Brunellos at the shop. You could make the argument that it was advantageous to visit a shop BECAUSE you taste several makers. As a wine director in a restaurant, I was more interested in the winemaking process and the vineyards than just tasting, but I may be in a large minority there you decide for yourself. Montalcino is a great deal of fun to visit and walk around in. Obviously, the town is all about Brunello, but there are other stores to visit as well as wine stores. Built on top of a hill, the views from just about anywhere in the town are picturebook worthy. The second stop was at a winery and the owner was quite the show. Probably in his 80's, Mario still loves the ladies and loves his wine. It was a great visit looking over some of his old winemaking tools and some of his older vintages. We bought a bottle as a roadie on the way back to Siena and enjoyed it thoroughly! We had such a good time on the tour and with each other, we all got together for dinner and more wine back in Siena. Go and have a blast!

Elio was a great tour guide. Kept us informed and even stepped in by telling us all about the winery when the staff was busy. I'd recommend this company to everyone.
