Montalcino & Abbey of Sant'Antimo Private Tour

At the time of your choice, we'll meet on Via Ricasoli to start our guided tour of Montalcino. Get ready to walk through the beautiful town in the Orcia Valley!

We'll walk through the historical center of this medieval town, discussing its history, including its role in the conflicts between Siena and Florence. This town became a refuge for nobility during the battles between these cities.

During the tour, we'll admire the exteriors of the 14th-century Fortress of Montalcino, the Palazzo dei Priori, and the Palazzo Pieri, among other significant buildings. We'll also cover the town's winemaking tradition, known for the Brunello di Montalcino variety.

At the end of the Montalcino tour, you'll drive, following the guide to the Abbey of Sant'Antimo, just 15 minutes away.

This monument is considered one of the most important monastic complexes in Tuscany. We will enter the church to admire the Romanesque decorations of this temple founded in 750 by Charlemagne. With luck, we may hear the Gregorian chants of the Benedictine monks living here.

After three hours of sightseeing, we'll conclude the tour at the starting point.
