Montalcino: Vineyard Guided Tour + Wine Tasting in the Castle

About this experience

Montalcino Vineyard Tour with Castle Wine Tasting This guided vineyard tour takes you through the historic estate of a medieval castle set among Tuscany's rolling hills, where your expert sommelier leads you through the story of Brunello di Montalcino, one of Italy's most celebrated wines. From the vines to the cellar, the visit brings together landscape, history and the craft of winemaking in a single afternoon. The tour begins with a walk through the estate's vineyards, where your guide explains how the distinctive Tuscan soil and climate shape the character of the Sangiovese grape. You then move inside the castle to explore the cellars and production areas, learning about the traditional techniques that have defined this wine region over centuries.
