This tour has a food and wine focus rather than a history focus. It includes panoramic drives with plenty of photostops, and learning about wines.
We start with a drive through the Val D’Orcia, a landscape so unique it has been selected as a UNESCO World Heritage site, arriving in the lovely hilltown of Montalcino. We’ll stop for photographs and walk through the town.
Then it’s on to a “boutique” family-owned organic wine operation for a tour, learning about Montalcino wines and sharing a glass of Rosso di Montalcino with the owners.
APPROXIMATE LENGHT: 8 hrs on site
The second winery on the tour is in the Chianti, our own Madonna Bella Farm, right
outside Siena with views on the city and out over the countryside, where we will visit the olive
groves and vineyards, and see how olive oil is made.
Finally we’ll sit down to learn about food and wine pairing and enjoy an abundant tasting of all the products of the farm – fresh pasta, dishes graced with our olive oil, and 2 types of wine, in a friendly competition between the Madonna Bella Chianti vs the Brunello di Montalcino from the family winery we visited in the morning, after which it’s back to the town where the tour originated.
It will be possible to book a visit to these cellars through our APP which is located at www.dreamitaly.vip/winery-bookings and where you can also book a professional driver for this day.
