Winery Tour with Wine and Food Tasting in Montepulciano
Step inside a historic estate, learn the craft behind the glass, and taste the wines that define this celebrated Tuscan hilltown.
A Montepulciano winery tour offering guided access to one of the region's historic estates combines hands-on viticulture education with a curated tasting of four exceptional wines, all paired with locally sourced food specialties. This 90-minute experience is rated easy and is suitable for a wide range of visitors, from curious beginners to seasoned wine enthusiasts.
The session opens with a guided walk through the working winery and its surrounding vineyard. Your host explains the stages of production, from vine to bottle, and situates those practices within the broader winemaking heritage of the Montepulciano area, one of Tuscany's most historically significant wine zones.
The tasting portion allows guests to select four wines from a menu that spans the estate's full range. Options include the flagship Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva, the approachable Rosso di Montepulciano, the single-varietal Brutus crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the delicate L'Amante Rosato. A platter of cured meats and Pienza Pecorino cheese accompanies each pour, and the experience closes with bruschetta finished in the estate's own extra virgin olive oil.
