What to expect
You'll start with a walk through the vineyard, where the guide explains how the soil, climate and organic practices shape what grows there. Then you move into the cellar—a cooler, older building where barrels and bottles are stored—and learn the practical steps involved in fermentation, ageing and bottling.
After the cellar, you'll sit down in the tasting room. Five wines arrive in sequence; each one is described (flavour, structure, age) before you taste it, and each is served alongside food—cheese, cured meat, vegetables, bread—chosen to highlight what's in your glass. The meal ties everything together and wraps up the experience.

Good to know
This suits anyone curious about wine production and regional Italian food, from complete beginners to experienced drinkers—no prior knowledge required. You need to be 18 to participate (alcohol is involved). The tour is accessible for all fitness levels; you're mostly walking gently through vineyards and standing or sitting in the cellar and tasting room, not climbing steep terrain. Afternoon timing works well if you're based in Siena for the day. Bring sun protection if you're there in summer, as vineyard sections are open.
