About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring Brunello territory with a sommelier who doubles as your driver, steering you toward lesser-known wineries that serious drinkers actually visit. You'll taste wines at intimate producer estates, eat a proper Tuscan lunch away from the main tourist drag, and learn how these bottles come together from someone who knows the region's cellars inside out. Groups welcome, but private tours available if you'd rather keep the conversation close.

What to expect
Your sommelier picks you up and steers clear of the crowded cellar-door circuit, instead taking you to producers who still do things the old way. At each stop, you'll taste Brunello wines—reds aged to their prime—whilst learning how terroir shapes what's in your glass. Lunch happens somewhere genuinely local, often a trattoria or estate dining room where you'll eat seasonal produce and regional specialties alongside the wines. The pace is unhurried; expect proper conversation about what you're tasting rather than rushed group logistics.
Good to know
You need to be 18+ to participate. Bring sunglasses and comfortable shoes for cellar visits. Public transport links nearby if you'd rather not drive, but your sommelier handles all steering. Eight hours is full-on—eat a light breakfast beforehand.
