Tuscan Wine School, Siena

Awesome tour of the Brunello region!!! We had a fantastic day. This tour exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Ambra, is very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. My wife and I shared the tour with other 3 couples who made the tour even more enjoyable. Ambra is a very safe driver and knows the region very well. She first took us to the Casanuova delle Cerbaie winery, where Simone Carlotti explained to us the process that they follow to obtain their wonderful wines. Ambra also took us to the town of Montalcino and shared with us interesting facts that were fun to learn. Then, we visited Molino di Sant’Antimo winery, a family business. Giulia Vittori one of owners was our host and she treated us to a delicious lunch there, paired with their great wines. It was a treat! Lastly, we visited the Piombaia winery. They differ in the way they manage their vineyards. They use a method called biodynamic, it’s free of chemicals and works with the vines and not against them. It was very interesting to all of us to experience 3 different business models and to appreciate the difference between the wines. Ambra was even nice enough to take us to the Abby of Sant’Antimo before driving us back to Siena. The whole experience was fabulous and a great way to spend the day. This tour is a most for anyone visiting Siena.

The Tuscany Wine School was a highlight of our two night stay in Siena! We didn’t realize we had to book ahead for a wine tour in Tuscany and so did this wine tasting school instead and it was so informative and fun! Milo made the whole experience a treat and we would have brought home more wine if our suitcases allowed!
