About this experience
Depart from Rome in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus in the early morning, enjoying scenic views of the Italian countryside. Upon arrival in Montepulciano, explore its historic center, charming streets, and beautiful piazzas – including locations featured in the “Twilight” movie saga and other cinematic works- in the company of a certified tour leader. Please note that the walking path has a slight incline. Visit a local 12th-century winery for a guided wine tasting, sampling the region’s finest wines and learning about the winemaking process. Enjoy a delicious Tuscan gourmet lunch paired with wines explained by a sommelier. This is the only wine cellar with kitchen in Montepulciano. After lunch, head to Montalcino, a perfectly preserved medieval town with a massive fortress. Start in the former convent of Sant’Agostino, now housing the Temple of Brunello interactive museum. Travel through local culture and discover the production of the world-renowned Brunello di Montalcino wine.

The best day!!
A fabulous day in the Tuscan countryside. Fantastic tour guide and amazing food and wine. I would highly recommend this day trip.
via Viator
MUST DO THIS!!
This summer, my family and I had the pleasure of visiting these beautiful places with Giovanni - an extremely well-travelled and knowledgeable guide who makes you assimilate into the place and gives you the best experience you could possibly want. This was definitely the most memorable segment of my trip - he has this charm to him and brings together people like no one else. The wine tasting, lunch, shopping and the extremely welcoming crowd is the cherry on top. If you want the true Italian experience, do take this trip, it opens you up to Italy like no other place can.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Rome is not rushed.
Is From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 132 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch?
+
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 From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch?
+
Around 46 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 Rome 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 Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch 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 Rome 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 Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. 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 Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. 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 Rome?
+
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.
