Brunello Wine Tour Experience Small Group Only

A truly wonderful wine tour experience in Montepulciano at the house of Contucci. Walking through the streets of Tuscany, Gabriele Alessandro and Ryan Tingle alongside Andrea Contucci were nothing short of spectacular as they gave us a wonderful taste of Montepulciano’s wine history. An experience worthwhile for any lover of wine and an appreciation for beautiful regions. Highly recommend!

Incredible, best experience ever!! Gabrielle is the kindest, most helpful and knowledgeable guide/som- highly highly recommended!

From start to finish, our experience with Tuscany Uncorked was absolutely exceptional. One of the main reasons we chose this company was that Gabriele gave us the flexibility to pick specific wineries we wanted to visit and then built the tours around our choices. That personal touch set the tone for a truly customized experience. We booked two tours: one in Montalcino and one in Chianti, and Gabriele was our guide for both. He was outstanding—knowledgeable, personable, and deeply passionate about Tuscan wine and culture. In Montalcino, we explored Brunello wineries where we were welcomed like family, tasting incredible vintages while hearing the fascinating stories of the land and the winemakers. In Chianti, we experienced a completely different style of wine and landscape, with breathtaking views around every corner. Gabriele’s insights tied everything together, turning each tasting into a deeper understanding of the region. What we loved most was seeing both sides of the Tuscan wine industry. At intimate, family-run estates like La Massa and La Fornace, we got a firsthand look at the care and passion that goes into every bottle. Then, at renowned large-scale producers like Banfi and Antinori, we were able to experience the impressive scale, history, and innovation that has made Tuscan wines famous worldwide. Experiencing both ends of the spectrum gave us a true appreciation for the diversity and depth of winemaking in Tuscany. Another highlight of both tours were the multi-course meals. Each lunch was a feast—handmade pasta, local cheeses, hearty traditional dishes, and perfectly paired wines. It wasn’t just a meal; it was an authentic Tuscan experience. Sitting down for a long, relaxed lunch in the countryside after a morning of tastings made each day feel complete. What stood out most to us was the seamless blend of planning, knowledge, and hospitality. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, every interaction felt genuine, and we never once felt rushed. Tuscany Uncorked made us feel like honored guests rather than just tourists passing through. If you are planning a trip to Tuscany and want to experience wine, food, and culture in the most authentic and enjoyable way, I can’t recommend Tuscany Uncorked highly enough. These tours were the highlight of our time in Italy, and we will absolutely book with them again on our next visit.

Our experience with Tuscany Uncorked was incredible (quite possibly my two favorite days from our trip Italy and Switzerland!). We visited the Brunello region and the Chianti region on separate days. Gabriele was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating; he was able to take our requests for each region and create a personalized experience that allowed us to visit both family-run wineries and large regional wine producers. From private winery tours, outstanding food, and elevated tasting experiences, our time with Gabriele and Tuscany Uncorked was unmatched. I was excited for wonderful wine and the gorgeous Tuscan countryside, and Tuscany Uncorked more than delivered. This experience was more than I could have ever imagined and will forever be the best highlight of our vacation! Thank you for the best memories (and wine!!).

Truly phenomenal experience. My guide Gabriele took me on as a solo traveler and provided and excellent experience with three wineries in the Montalcino region of Tuscany. The Brunellos were incredible.
