Let the ancient Roman road of Cassia lead you to the renowned vineyard hills of Montalcino. The journey begins at a small yet distinctive winery, where we can stroll through vineyards, delve into the cellars, and appreciate an initial tasting of the world-famed Brunello wine.

First, we will arrive at Montalcino, a hilltop, medieval town. Enjoy some free time to explore within the fortress walls, where the courageous soldiers of the Republic of Siena made their last stand against the Medici and Florence. Leisurely peruse the town’s shops, sample the Brunello wines in one of many wine bars, or simply meander amongst the city walls and soak in the breathtaking views of the vineyards and valleys below.

After spending time in the town of Montalcino, we will make a stop at the spectacular Benedictine Abbey of Sant’Antimo. Woven in ancient mystery and set in a fantastical landscape, experience the pastoral serenity and peace which is certainly one of the most photographed spots in Tuscany.

Next, we will visit a family-run winery, where the owners and winemakers will allow you to explore the estate before sitting and feasting on traditional Tuscan cuisine paired with delicious wine.

That afternoon, at our third winery, the wine-makers will lead you through a presentation of the wine making processes, along with the various tools used, and how the vines are maintained and aged in oak barrels. Afterwards, we will indulge in an unforgettable wine tasting of the exquisite wines.

Among the 230 wineries in this region, we only visit small and medium-sized ones - we appreciate rare, artisanal individualistic wine which often results in fuller, more complex tones, rather than large-scale wineries. Cheers!
