Fabulous - A fabulous experience lead by the wonderful Linda. Very informative with a tasting of about 6 or 7 wines; Vin Santo and meats and cheeses. Incredible and all for free. You must do it and then treat yourself to some of the wine to take away.

A medieval township for the ages! - Visiting Tuscany, the township of Montepulciano is a must see! The views from this medieval town are breathtaking. Over 1,400 years old, the first settlement was built between 4th-3rd Century...just walking these streets and viewing the buildings...you can literally feel yourself absorbing the history.

Hard climb down but worth the experience. - Challenge to find but worth it. Michael was very informative, taught us a lot about the wine of the region. Steep steps down into winery were tough on the hips. Thankfully we're were able to leave from the lower level.

Wine tasting and local products - I visited the underground town of the Ercolani winery which is located at the entrance of Montepulciano with the very experienced Guide Romina it was a beautiful experience that I had never had, she explained the barrels, the aging of the wines, the culture of the times, after having done the whole tour at the end there was a tasting of the main wines (all excellent) with tastings of local products from cheeses to cold cuts! CONGRATULATIONS GOOD INITIATIVE .

Great wine tour - I enjoyed the wine tour, the food and the wine tastings. The host was very knowledgeable, personable and humorous. The authentic wine cellar is very cool and Montepulciano is a great place to visit.

Good wine tasting experience - The wine tasting was good. Nice ambiance in the cellar. The host was very knowledgable about the wines and wine growing environment around Montepulciano. The prusciutto, cheese and bread sides were good. The only catch was that the Taluso wines served were not up to the mark. Granted, lot of this is individual taste. But I could not see myself paying 20-60 euros per bottle for these wines.

Poor Directions - The tour director was outstanding. The tour itself is deceiving on the part of Viator. The ticket office was difficult to find with the instructions given by Viator. Also, it was impossible to reach anyone for directions.
