We don't talk enough about BRUNello.
Honestly, we were 45 minutes late - but Federico and his wife were amazing. They warmly welcomed us and made it work. We are very appreciative of this family giving us not only their knowledge but also sharing their experiences as individuals who have also been to different places in the world. Learning about Brunello, understanding the significance, and sharing personal stories about wines - it's a truly exceptional highlight. We also joined the wine club because of the experience we had here. It is worth going to.

Fantastic tasting
The only thing better than Frederico at this tasting were the wines themselves! The knowledge and experience he brought to the table were incredible and so kindly shared. Fabulous experience if you are visiting Siena, and the wine shop itself is amazing.

Excellent Private Wine Tasting
We felt pampered by enjoying this wonderful wine tasting experience with the two of us and the owner. Learning so much about his experience and the selected wines.

Sublime, premium wines, perfect ending. La dolce vita!
Esther, cousin of owner Federico, was a wonderful, enthusiastic and highly knowledgable certified sommelier, who definitely knows what she is taking about, regarding Tuscan culture, specifically, Tuscan wines. Firstly, the wine tasting was nothing less than sublime and she sucks you right into the journey of flavors and goes in-depth of the type of grapes, farming, history, evolution, pairing with food and all the phases of tasting of each premium wine. Furthermore, It goes without saying that I was struck away by her positive attitude and her enthusiasm was very contagious. Her knowledge blew me away. Regarding the wine, I will let you decide for yourself. But as a self proclaimed red wine fancier, it will make you rethink your life choices about maybe moving to and live in Tuscany for the rest of your life! Lastly, yes to be really honest, the time was short, wines not that much and not cheap, I cannot lie. But the fantastic experience and the host were worth every single penny. The urge to drink the whole bottle of one specific Brunello was tempting and very hard to resist. Quality not quantity! On a side note, after being treated poorly due to some personal ‘incidents’ with some locals during my 10 days stay in Tuscany and Emilia Romagna, on my last day, Esther genuinely left a smile on my face afterwards for a very long time. Grazie Mille, Esther! I will definitely come back. Thirsty for more! La Dolce Vita :)

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tasting of the Best Wines in Siena in an Etruscan Crypt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.
How much does Tasting of the Best Wines in Siena in an Etruscan Crypt cost?
+
Prices start at $143 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 Tasting of the Best Wines in Siena in an Etruscan Crypt take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Tasting of the Best Wines in Siena in an Etruscan Crypt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Tasting of the Best Wines in Siena in an Etruscan Crypt?
+
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 Tasting of the Best Wines in Siena in an Etruscan Crypt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tasting of the Best Wines in Siena in an Etruscan Crypt?
+
Around 3 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tasting of the Best Wines in Siena in an Etruscan Crypt 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.
