Guidekin's take

A Tuscany day that actually feeds you: guided Montepulciano and Pienza, a three course lunch at a farm winery and a tasting that includes Brunello di Montalcino, with a Montalcino castle stop on the small group and private tiers.

Coach, lunch and tastings are included at €99 per person, tips and hotel pickup are not. Under eighteens are not served wine.

In our comparison: #70 of 75 in Day Trips from Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
