    Great day with two...

    Great day with two wineries and plenty of wine and food. Luca, our driver was fantastic and very knowledgeable and accommodating. Was a full day. Would definitely recommend.

    A great way to see the countryside, and enjoy some spectacular local wine.

    Our friendly and safe driver met us at our door, and answered all our dumb questions with great information. Visited two lovely wineries, leaned about some great Italian wines, and made a wonderful memory of the day.

    30th Anniversary trip in Tuscany

    Amazing trip, family of 8 and Camila was a wonderful host! The car ride was easy in an air conditioned van and the wineries were hospitable and delicious. We ordered wine at both locations to be shipped, and cannot wait to remember the trip. Montepulciano was a beautiful quiet Tuscan town, hope to revisit soon.

    An amazing experience! Our driver gave us so much history during our rides to each location. Both wineries were gorgeous and super friendly. Highly recommend this tour!

    What a wonderful day....

    What a wonderful day. Michele was so knowledgeable about the wines and history of the area, we learned so much. We went to 2 small vineyards, on in Montepulciano and one in Montalicino with an hour stop in Pienza to grab some of the famous Pierino cheese. It was a beautiful drive and we totally enjoyed the wineries.

    Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arezzo.

    How much does Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona cost?

    +

    Prices start at $570 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arezzo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arezzo is not rushed.

    Is Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Arezzo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arezzo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arezzo and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arezzo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Arezzo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Arezzo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour of the vineyards and tasting of Evo wines and oil in Tuscany, Wine and olive oil tastings with the locals, Cellar Tour & Wine Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Arezzo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Arezzo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; Pairing lunch at a historic winery; and 2 Wineries tour and tasting. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona include hotel pickup?

    +

    Is Brunello and Montepulciano Wine Tour from Cortona wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
