Magical Montepulciano private tour

By far one of the best day trips I’ve ever had! Once I booked the tour I received welcoming correspondence from the tour company. Then came Rossana… EXCEPTIONAL! She contacted me a couple days before with confirmation of pick up et… Our driver Lucca was awesome! They were waiting outside the convertible Mercedes van for us as we walked out our front door. On the way Rossana pointed out various sites and points of interest. Recognizing that we had a late night before, we stopped for coffee along the way. Then there was our arrival to this truly magical place Montepulciano!!! There is the most breathtaking landscape that surrounds this beautiful town. We lucked out being it is close to Christmas. There was a Christmas market in the square. We walked around the charming stands. Rossana helped us with any translation along with understanding the various areas that the things were made. They also carried our purchases for us and put away safely in the van (this was especially nice after we bought wine at De’Ricci Cantine Storiche). I did not think the day could get better but I was way wrong… next was our wine tasting tour at De’Ricci which is located right in the middle of the town. Emilio was our wine tour aficionado! Not only is the wine cellar magical the history is too. I can not even to attempt to describe the cellar in fear I would not do it justice. After the tour we gathered at a table for the tasting. We tasted 6 incredible wines and enjoyed a plate of various delicious treats and pasta. I love wine and being from California with Napa and Sonoma right there I must admit I can be a bit picky. I ended up shipping 60+ bottles home and bringing 6 bottles back to our place in Rome. There were four of us in our party and each of us can’t stop talking about our incredible day. I apologize for the lengthy review but I think it’s important to know what you’re booking and with whom. I have stored Rossana’s contact information and will be booking with RomeItalyExplora for the personalized tours they provide. Absolutely incredible day, thank you Rossana for going over and above any expectation!

Response from the operator: Thanks for your 5 star review! Every day we work to make our customers' holidays better with our tours and services. For this reason we are extremely happy that you were satisfied! Customers like you encourage us to offer an ever better service. Thanks for contributing to our growth! Arrivederci!

Awesome Trip

One of our favorite days in Italy!! It was so nice to be picked up at our hotel and have a comfortable ride to Montepulciano. Once there we were able to see the plaza and take a tour of the stunning underground winery. Great wine, amazing views and Bianca was a fabulous guide. I would definitely go again.

Response from the operator: We are so grateful for your 5-star review. Thanks for sharing your rating with us and the community. We hope to meet you again in the next future!

Very enjoyable day trip to Montepulciano!

With covid still being a concern in early February, I was looking for a private tour and we discovered a gem in Rosanna and Luigi! They picked us up at our Airbnb and drove us to Montepulciano and provided information about the area along the way. We had a nice walk through Montepulciano. The wine cellar was amazing! Historical! And the views of the countryside were beautiful. Everything you'd expect Tuscany to be. The wine tasting was delicious and they provided so much information. We were able to ship some home. Arrived back in Rome with plenty of time to freshen up for dinner. Rosanna was a gracious host and offered advice/tips for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend this tour!!!

Response from the operator: We are so happy that you enjoyed your experience with us! We appreciate the great review and look forward to working with you again soon.

Amazing day with amazing wine

We had the most remarkable tour with Roseanne and Luigi. Incredible food and wine tasting with 4 different wines in one of the most incredible cellars.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! We would not be able to grow and develop without feedback like yours. We are thrilled you had a great experience with us and hope to see you again soon.

Wine Tasting in Montepulciano Private Tour from Rome: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Wine Tasting in Montepulciano Private Tour from Rome cost?

+

Prices start at $200 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 Wine Tasting in Montepulciano Private Tour from Rome 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 Rome is not rushed.

Is Wine Tasting in Montepulciano Private Tour from Rome worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Wine Tasting in Montepulciano Private Tour from Rome?

+

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 Wine Tasting in Montepulciano Private Tour from Rome 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 Wine Tasting in Montepulciano Private Tour from Rome?

+

Around 2 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Wine Tasting in Montepulciano Private Tour from Rome 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.
