Walking with your guide through the streets and main attractions of Montepulciano, you will also take a look at the picturesque corners that beckon you to turn off the main road and promise unforgettable views of the valley. Montepulciano has long been famous for its wine. It is mentioned in the documents of merchants as early as the 14th century. You will stop in a winery to taste local wine and typical food.

Completely shocking I paid nearly $2,000 for a wine tour, which I thought would be a pre-arranged tour of notable wineries of Tuscany. I tried to confirm serval times this is what I had booked to which I received a vague answer. Instead I got : - an argumentative and generally unfriendly tour guide - a visit to a cheese factory, serving $5 per bottle wine which incurred a tasting fee of $40 (this wasn’t apparently included in the overall cost) - a walk around various small villages in Tuscany in the pouring rain, which included a visit to the hosts favourite cheese shop

Lunch at the farm/ winery was very special. This family owned establishment was an authentic experience. Each town was beautiful and glad we could see 3 towns in Tuscany and make it to and from Florence in a day!
