Our wine tour day in Montalcino with Alberto was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Italy! Alberto was amazing-he is so nice, easy to talk to, and does a fantastic job of explaining wine without making you feel silly for asking simple questions and/or without being condescending. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows every detail about geography, topography, wine production, etc. The itinerary he planned for us was perfect: the two wineries were excellent, and the restaurant we went to for lunch was outstanding. We LOVED our tour with Alberto. It is a must-do for anyone visiting the region!

We had an incredible experience with our guide, Alberto. We visited 4 wineries over the course of 2 days, each unique and specifically curated to our wine preferences by Alberto. Not only did we have an extremely personal experience with the wineries themselves, we also had the opportunity to taste local Tuscan cuisine each day that Alberto organized according to our dietary restrictions (vegetarian). Alberto is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to wines and would add to the information/history provided by each winery. Alberto was extremely responsive as we planned our trip from the USA and gave great advice given that we were visiting in the off-season. We could not be more grateful for our experience, which was absolutely seamless, and are looking forward to returning to Tuscany with Alberto's guidance again.

Alberto was not just a wine tour guide, he ended up being someone my wife and I will make sure to stay in-touch with. From our 45min drive from Montepulciano to Montalcino, we were really able to get to know Alberto and his background/passion for wine. He made my wife and I’s day magical from showing us his favorite wineries and getting to meet the wine makers, taste their wines, and gives us more information on the process and everything. Don’t bother looking at the other tours and book Alberto to do your next wine tour through Tuscany, you will not regret it.

My parents, husband and I had the chance to do a wine tour in Montalcino with Alberto. It was the most amazing wine experience I have ever had. Alberto took time to understand all of us that would be joining and he crafted the perfect day for us. We visited three perfect wineries each offering similar types of wines, but each were made in such different and unique ways. The amazing women that led the three wineries each taught us something different. Alberto shared so much wonderful information about the area and his life in the wine world. He also arranged the perfect stop for lunch in Montalcino. I cannot recommend Alberto any more. Thank you, Alberto!

My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary in Italy and had the pleasure to go on two separate wine tours with Alberto from Cortona Wine Tours. He created a personalized experience, giving us access to unique wineries we would have never discovered on our own. We toured Chianti and Montalcino and enjoyed some lovely wines. His knowledge and expertise of the area and fine wine made these tours truly exceptional. He also arranged wonderful lunches. Alberto has a true passion for the region and wine - and now we share that passion. Thank you for such an exceptional experience! Highly recommend!

In May 2022 we were looking for a wine tour that would pick us up in Cortona and take us to both Montalcino and Montepulciano. We contacted Alberto through our rental host and he was most accommodating to our wine tour plans. The tour itself was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Alberto was not only a great driver but also and more importantly a fantastic tour guide, excellent sommelier and a genuinely nice person to spend a day with.
We have taken other wine tours but none could compare to the quality and enjoyment of this tour. We highly recommend Cortona Wine Tours.

Alberto showed us a side of Cortona we didn't know existed. With the information we provided, he really planned the perfect day for us. We were able to experience two small wineries, both absolutely unique - the first was Leuta where we toured the small efficient operation (a relaxing start with wonderful conversation and learning about the wines) and next was Agriturismo Via della Stella (where we were treated to an absolutely incredible lunch with more lovely conversation.) Alberto was fantastic to spend the day with, and he even took us to view parts of Cortona outside of wineries. All around 5 stars, and can't recommend him highly enough.

We toured two wineries (Canaio & Baldetti) with Alberto and loved every minute of it! Both wineries were amazing, but Alberto put the whole day over the top. He was knowledgeable about wine, spoke good English, and was a great conversationalist which made our foursome feel comfortable while we toured the wineries. He gave us background on the region, families, and staff at each stop. The best part was how much we just enjoyed his company. Our time together with Alberto testing wine near Cortona was one of our favorite things we did during our two week trip thru Italy! Thanks Alberto!

We were a group of 13 people (6 adults and 7 teenagers/young adults) looking for a wine tour or cooking class. Alberto arranged both in one day tour at Baldetti Vineyard in Cortona. We visited the winery facilities, cooked at the same place, drinking white and rose wine while cooking. Then we had the red wines during lunch. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany.
Alberto is a sommelier with great knowledge and very professional. Everybody from the group had good things to say about him. I contacted him via email from home 2 weeks before my visit. He responded quickly and was flexible to our tour request.
I would definitively recommend a similar tour when visiting Tuscany and of course with Alberto.

With a few short emails, Alberto arranged exactly what I was looking for in Tuscany. Day 1, we did a bike tour that took us from the train to our hotel. Day 2, we had a truly wonderful, young, local sommelier drive us to 2 vineyards for a day full of learning about all things wine and Tuscany. We visited Salcheto and Boscarelli vineyards. The bike tour was a bit unsafe as we did about 17 miles directly on the roads with no shoulders, but Alberto was happy to take my feedback and said he'll work on improvements. Just note if you are doing a bike ride: make sure to discuss your level of biking skill and length of the ride before you go. Overall, it was wonderful to be able to have my experience tailored to exactly what I was looking for. Definitely email Alberto, he will work with you!

Ciao Alberto, I will be in Cortona for 8 days starting July 20. I would like to know what my options are for a two person wine tour and associated cost. There is the possibility of a slightly bigger group of 4 to 8 people. Depending on the plans of my other friends staying at the villa. TBD.
At this point, I'm flexible on dates.
Ciao!

We will be in Cortona for 2 weeks from 18th May 2018. We are looking for a day tour that would include pick up and drop off, a visit to wineries, lunch and truffle hunting. There will be four people in our group.

We are a party of 4 and will be in Cortona June 4-8. Would you be able to arrange a tour of a couple of Umbria wineries, maybe a half day, or longer if lunch was included? Is this practical from Cortona? We will have visited Tuscan wineries the previous week, Thank you.
