The Brunello di Montalcino wine tour through the heart of Southern Tuscany will introduce you to one of the finest Tuscan wines, Brunello di Montalcino.
First you are off to the beautiful estate of the area. Enjoy a guided tour of the cellars and admire the views of the vineyards, before a guided tasting of their spectacular wines including the fomous Brunello and Super Tuscan wines. You will also be able to taste the olive oil produced at the estate.
After your wine tasting take time to stroll the ancient streets of Montalcino before being treated to the lunch at the ancient fortress. During your day in the Tuscany countryside you will also visit the very unusual town of Bagno Vignoni, where the central piazza is a large ancient Roman swimming pool. Although no longer in use, you can still soak your feet in the warm healing waters that run down the hillside.
Lastly you will visit the “jewel of the Renaissance”, Pienza. Stroll the streets of the beautiful village famous for its architecture. You can also taste their famous cheese (Pecorino) in the many shops that line the main street.
This incredible day of discovery is the perfect compliment to any Tuscany vacation, especially for the wine lover.
