Montalcino Classic Tour
Montalcino is most famous for its red wine, in particular the Brunello, one of the most precious and sought after wines in the fine restaurants and dining tables of the world.
We'd like to show you this aspect of Montalcino but also much more.
We start the day with a tasting . . . of honey. A local apiculturist will explain how they make the honey, will show you the hives and the bees then let you taste a selection of the different varieties of honey that are produced including Chestnut and Acacia. This is the appetiser for the day.
We then move on to the village centre where after a coffee break you are free to investigate the boutiques and gift stores or wander and appreciate the historic centre of this ancient hill top town.
We slowly make our way up to the Fortress where you can climb up to the ramparts to see the spectacular view over the surrounding countryside. We will also be enjoying a relaxing lunch here in the wine library style Enoteca.
After lunch we will be taking you to a more classic tasting . . . . of the wine for which this region is famous. There is a wealth of vineyards to choose from and we will accompany you to one of the finest. A luxurious setting and a touch of history (museum of wine) set the scene for you to try a Rosso di Montalcino, a Brunello and if it takes your fancy a Grappa.
Time permitting, before we take you 'home' we'd also like you to see a very beautiful Abbey set at the foot of the hill outside Montalcino. Here they also make wine as well as olive oil. A touch of beauty to end your day with us in Montalcino.
Join us if you'd like to sample fine wine but also see other aspects of this lovely hilltop Tuscan town.
