Private Wine Tasting in Montepulciano: Vino Nobile DOCG

Taste wines in a centuries-old cellar and learn the story behind Vino Nobile

A private wine tasting in Montepulciano's centuries-old cellar where you taste Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG wines, sample extra virgin olive oil, and eat a Tuscan charcuterie board with cold cuts, cheese and vegetables. A live guide in English or Italian leads you through the company history and the wines themselves over two hours, and the experience suits all fitness levels and welcomes children from age 12.

The experience

You arrive at the cellar and spend two hours in a private tasting with a dedicated guide. The centuries-old stone rooms set the atmosphere as you move through different wines, learning how Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG is made and what sets it apart. The guide walks you through each pour and answers questions throughout. This is not a rushed group experience but a conversation built around what you want to know.

Between wines, you taste the producer's extra virgin olive oil and work through a chopping board of typical Tuscan products: cured meats, salami, cheese, vegetables. The food is there to complement the wines and give you a sense of how they pair with the region's everyday eating. Bottled water keeps you comfortable through the tasting.

The cellar itself is part of the experience: stone walls, wooden barrels, the weight of centuries. You see where the wines age and how the space has been used. Children from 12 onward can join, and the pace works for anyone regardless of fitness level. If you use a wheelchair, the space is accessible.

Is this one for you?The private format means you set the pace and ask questions without a group waiting: ideal if you want to understand the wines and the cellar rather than move quickly through a checklist. A guide dedicated to your group for two hours works best if you have time to linger and want to taste thoughtfully.

What wines do you actually taste during the two hours?

The tasting focuses on Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG wines from the producer's own cellar. The guide selects which bottles to pour based on the vintage and what the cellar has available, so the exact lineup varies, but you taste multiple expressions of the region's signature wine and learn what makes each one different.

Is this tasting private, or will there be other groups there?

The tasting is private. You and your group have the guide and the cellar to yourselves for the full two hours, with no other visitors joining you.

How does the two-hour timing work? Is that just the tasting, or does it include the cellar tour?

The two hours covers the guided tour of the company and cellar, the private tasting of multiple wines, the olive oil sample, and the time spent eating and talking. It is one continuous experience, not separate segments.
