Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano

Laura_R, Nov 2026

Don’t miss out, must book!

Salvatore was incredibly knowledgeable of Italy and was an excellent driver. Montalcino had a beautiful vineyard with amazing wine. Pienza was filled with such rich history and we saw where the movie Gladiator was filmed while we ate an amazing meal in the town. Our last stop was at a winery at a medieval town in Montepulciano; that also had amazing wine and history. Must book this excursion on your trip to Italy.

Another forever memory

Walked through Pienza and had lunch. What a beautiful place. This is the trip if you are wanting to stock up on wine directly from the source. We spent time reviewing and purchasing wine in Montalcino and Montepulciano. We did not get to walk through those towns and my only disappointment (that’s on me, not the tour as you only have time for certain things). Our driver got us safely through the trip and was very nice.

Great day out. Fabulous venues!

It was a great day! Fabulous wine tasting at Montepulciano in underground city, nice lunch with a beautiful view and good tasting in Montalcino. Got some sightseeing in too which was great! Driver was very knowledgeable and helpful. However I sat in the front of the van on the way back and am glad I made it back alive! The driver seemed to be at least 30km over the speed limit most of the way, all over the road - made me very anxious.

Loved this experience!

We loved this experience and the castle was beautiful! They gave us a tour with lots of history and information. The tour included the outside and some inside of the castle, as well as a tour of where and how they made the wine. Then we went to nicely set tables where they gave us a 3 course lunch and we tasted 4 different wines. It was amazing and even the food was good! We enjoyed and hope to visit again!

Fun experience well worth it

We were staying in Montalcino and drove the short distance to this winery. The tour was informative and fun. The host/guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The grounds are beautiful with wonderful views. We had a fantastic weather day for this too. The wines were good. Brunello is one of my favorite wines ever since we visited Montalcino on a day trip 4 years ago. The food was good and we enjoyed talking with the other people on the tour. Highly recommend this experience.

Best day of our trip!

Andrea, with Pek Tuscany in Limo, was the best! He was knowledgable, professional, a safe driver (important here!) and a gentleman. He took my group of 4 women everywhere, helped us choose wines and cheeses and pay for purchases and got us from place to place on time (not easy, we are like herding cats). We loved our day with Andrea the most of our trip!
