Pienza, Montalcino, Brunello Wine and Pecorino Cheese PRIVATE TOUR from FLORENCE

Posted By : raybanb
Me and my friends had an amazing time, we were a group of 3, did a private tour from Florence to Pienza, Val D'Orcia, brunello wine and pecorino cheese tasting. Everything went smoothly, from hotel pick up to drop off. Our driver Roberto, was fantastic, he is very knowledgeable and relatable. We had conversations about almost everything, from Italian history, art, culture, all the way to life experiences, which we will remember and cherish for a very long time. We also had lunch in a farmhouse in Tuscany with Elia, who was very kind, hospitable, and welcoming. He served us local cuisines and delicacies from Tuscany, which we all enjoyed. Highly recommend this tour, they have amazing people, who will make sure you and your family/friends would enjoy your trip.

Excellent experience. The driver guide Roberto was simply sensational. . He demonstrated great flexibility by adjusting the itinerary to our preferences, replacing the visit to Pienza, which we already knew, with Montepulciano, and including a stop for lunch at a great restaurant in Bagno Vignoni. A very cultured and polite professional, he brought extra quality to the tour of sensational places.

Roberto was incredible and so knowledgeable on a variety of topics. He was funny and kept the conversation lively. He truly loves what he does and it does not go unnoticed. The wineries we went to were small production and you can tell how much passion they have for wine making. They made us feel like they were part of our family. The lunch we had was incredible and homemade. Roberto picked us up directly at our accommodation and dropped us off. I highly recommend booking with this group as they truly care about your experience in Italy. Grazie mille for a lovely experience

We had the most amazing experience exploring the beautiful wineries of Siena! Roberto truly knocked it out of the park with his charisma and incredible knowledge & passion for the local wines, giving us wonderful stories and background. We specifically love Brunello from Montalcino, and this tour gave us an excellent taste! He also took us to the most beautiful little UNESCO certified inn for a delightful lunch, with the quintessential Tuscan view and experience. Absolutely delightful experience- would highly recommend if you are a wine lover!

Our private wine tour was better than we ever imagined! We were met at our hotel in Florence by our guide, Tomas. He was very friendly and put us at ease immediately. We talked about our mutual interest in wines and imagine our surprise to find out he was a sommelier! He was very knowledgeable and helped us to understand Italian wines in an open and wonderful way. His choices of the wineries to go to and the pairing of foods with them was excellent. I would recommend Tomas and his company, We Drive You Tuscany, to anyone. He really made our winery trip memorable and special! Grazie Tomas!

Our trip with We Drive You Tuscany was absolutely amazing!!! The friendliness and professionalism of everyone we met was incredible! Tomas recommended the perfect tour for us. It was what we were hoping for and more! On top of the amazing places we went and the incredible wine we drank, our driver Dario made the whole experience even more magical, with his knowledge, professionalism, and passion for wine! My wife and I can not wait to take a trip back to Italy and do another We Drive You Tuscany wine tour!

After weeks of research we finally decided on this tour. We knew we did not want a large group tour as the reviews looked largely terrible. We also wanted a Brunello wine tasting experience (vs Chianti) — which if you know your Italian wines — you know Brunello is the king of Tuscany. This tour had everything we wanted on paper but no reviews — so we decided to take a chance and it was by far the best experience of our 2 week Italy holiday from NYC and that was against tough competition including Milan, Florence, Cinque Terre, and Portofino!

Words can barely capture this experience but here is my best attempt as we want everyone we know to book this tour. It was that memorable!

Our driver, Dario, picked us up promptly at the agreed upon time at our hotel in a brand new Mercedes Benz E-class and drove us 1.5hrs to the Brunello / Montalcino wine region. Dario, recently certified as a sommelier, gave us a tremendous overview of Italian wine as well as a history lesson of the region (Tuscany, Sienna, Montalcino, etc.). My wife and I fell in love with Dario’s blend of tremendous knowledge and warm personality. He was simply amazing and we gained a friend for life.

The tour itself was simply amazing and included;
- 1hr stop in the charming Medieval town of Pienza where we bought amazing blocks of Pecorino cheese and walked around the quaint Medieval town.
- 4-course lunch at a 1000 year old Tuscan farmhouse. The host family was so warm and welcoming. They gave us a tour of the farmhouse and then we had lunch with ingredients all sourced from their garden / farm in front of a 500-year old olive tree. Their homemade olive oil was out of this world and we bought several bottles to bring back to NYC. The food was simply amazing; easily best meal in our 2 weeks in Italy.
- Brunello tasting at two amazing family owned wineries. The tastings included: Pinot Grigio, Rosso, Brunello, Brunello Reserva, and Garapa (digestivo). All were amazing! Again, the host families for each winery welcomed us as if we were family — getting to know us before starting the tour and tasting. We bought a case from each winery and can’t wait for them to arrive. The 2012 Brunello’s were simply amazing. 👌

We thought the personal touch this tour provided was invaluable and easily money well spent. We would have paid 5x what we paid.

If you want the most memorable Tuscany tour of your life, we highly recommend this tour! We can’t recommend this tour enough - and ask for Dario too!!

Had a wonderful time heading to the wine country from Florence. Our Driver was knowledgeable, interesting and fun to be with, especially when you are spending a day with him or her. Since we were not driving, my daughter and I were able to relax and enjoy the scenery of Italy. The location for lunch and the 2 vineyards we visited were beautiful, one has to give 5 stars to the lunch and wine tasted.
