Journeying to this Cellar is like stepping back in time. It embodies the bounty of the beautiful Tuscan soil - wine. This wine, deeply revered and cherished, was joyously drank and tended to with enthusiasm and resolve by our forebears, the Etruscans, several centuries before the Christian era.

Winter holiday magic - Absolutely loved the tour and tasting experience! We visited over the winter holidays and the visit made our stay in Montepulciano all the more special. There were only a few others on our tour which made for a cozy experience. The tour included a lot of great stories on the history of the vineyard, city, and local area. The tastings and charcuterie pairings were well put together and we can't wait to make a return trip in the future.

Nice wine tasting experience in Montepulciano. - The tour was delightful. The location is beautiful, and we learned a bit of history along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting (six different wines with appetizers) and the locale - Montepulciano is quite charming!

Easy fun, relaxing, not a lot of walking, good wine - We had such a lovely tour with our tour guide. He gave us the history of the underground cellar and it ended with a wine tasting and a small plate of charcuterie.

Highly recommended. Light food is served as a complement to the wines. - Our guide was great! Very personable, approachable and knowledgeable . The cellars are spectacular. The wine tasting afterward was also very well done. No novice would have felt intimidated during the tasting.
