Paradiso di Cacuci <3
This was a beautiful experience. Homemade food, several wines to taste with even more samples offered. Even learning about how Brunello licensing is actually done. Additionally, having Uva be apart of the tour was my favorite highlight. This tour is all about personalization. A very curated take on Brunello tasting, but also wine in general. The food was a great pairing and the ricotta cake was divine. Paradiso di Cacuci is a beautiful winery with very sweet an welcoming people.

Brunello lover’s paradise
Expertly led wine tasting, exquisite wines, and an excellent lunch. They are passionate about the wine they make on this small vineyard and eager to share their knowledge. We sampled an array of wines, and experienced their differences. The food was homemade and top shelf. Hard to imagine a better way to spend an afternoon in Tuscany. All the other reviews are spot on. It was a thoroughly enjoyable off the beaten path experience.

It’s a bit of drive on...
It’s a bit of drive on gravel road but well worth the journey! The wine and lunch were excellent- manager was so friendly and provided just the right amount of information. We can’t say enough good things about this wine experience!

Disappointed with VIATOR and Great Experience at Winery
Mario, did a great job of accommodating our group of 5 in spite of no notice from VIATOR. The wine tastings were numerous and varied. Safe volumes with a full lunch. The food was very good and plated to perfection.

Montalcino: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.
How much does Montalcino: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $112 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Montalcino: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Siena is not rushed.
Is Montalcino: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Montalcino: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan 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 Montalcino: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Montalcino: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan Lunch?
+
Around 6 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 Siena 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 Siena and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Montalcino: Brunello Wine Tasting & Tuscan 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 Siena 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 Siena?
+
On Outty we rank every Siena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Brunello di Montalcino Wine-Tasting Trip from Siena, Siena: A Wine Tour and Tasting Experience, Small-Group Montepulciano and Pienza Day Trip from Siena. 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 Siena?
+
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 Siena?
+
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.
