Lorenzo was fabulous!
Lorenzo was our driver and really made the experience 10+. The places they chose were great and a nice private tour. One couple has done another private trip the day before and they even said this was far superior. I do think they should limit the tour to 6 - which is what we had - because the van is 2 in front, 3 in the middle and 3 in back. If there was another couple they would have been split up and it would have been much tighter. But 6 was perfect! Would totally recommend this for a private tour

Great day out. Fabulous venues!
It was a great day! Fabulous wine tasting at Montepulciano in underground city, nice lunch with a beautiful view and good tasting in Montalcino. Got some sightseeing in too which was great! Driver was very knowledgeable and helpful. However I sat in the front of the van on the way back and am glad I made it back alive! The driver seemed to be at least 30km over the speed limit most of the way, all over the road - made me very anxious.

Vino, vino, vino
Scenic drive through the countryside with lots of opportunities for photos. Excellent guide, Fabio took great care of us. Enjoyed both wineries and also purchased olive oil, balsamic vinegar and cheese. Lunch in Pienza was a highlight!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re glad Fabio took such good care of you and that you enjoyed the scenery, wineries and local products along the way. It’s especially nice to hear that lunch in Pienza was one of the highlights of the day.

Great winery tour with lunch!
Excellent tour of wineries in Montacino and Montapulciano with lunch in Piezza. Our driver, Simona, provided us with great information about the sights along the drive and history of the region. She was also an expert driver and made excellent time through crowded streets!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the wineries, lunch in Pienza and the journey through Val d’Orcia. Simona will be very happy to know that her knowledge, driving skills and commentary helped make the day even more memorable.

Good day out!
Luca is an excellent guide! He gave a good history of the region, provided water and kept us to time. The wine tours were lovely, as was the lunch.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re glad Luca’s knowledge, care and organization made the day run so smoothly. It’s great to hear you also enjoyed the wineries and lunch — a wonderful way to experience the region.

Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano cost?
+
Prices start at $262 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano take?
+
Plan for about 10.5 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 Florence is not rushed.
Is Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 420 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano?
+
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 Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano?
+
Around 147 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 Florence 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 Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Val d'Orcia Brunello Wine Tour with Montalcino and Montepulciano 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 Florence 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 Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici -by a storyteller, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class with Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm. 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 Florence?
+
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 Florence?
+
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.
