Brunello Wine Tour and Val D'Orcia Landscape

Fabulous day spent with Fabrizio! A wealth of information and a lot of fun, as well as gracious and accommodating. Great winery and sightseeing tour. Felt like we were with a friend! Highly recommend. He's your guy for Tuscany

Tuscany has a special place in my heart. The wine, the food and the scenery are all special. Fabrizio, my friend, you made a dream come true. Not only did you understand our wants and wishes but you took us beyond that. Fabrizio knew that Poggio Grande would be a perfect place for us to enjoy Super Tuscan wines. We especially enjoyed the olive oil tasting and home cooked lunch by Alessandro. I often think about the time we spent with Fabrizio and look forward to the day we can meet again. Grazie mille - Ciao mi amico

My wife and I visited Italy in December of 2025. This was the highlight of our Italian journey! We spent two positively unforgettable days with Fabrizio in the towns of Montalcino, and Montepulciano...drinking Brunello and Nobile wines, enjoying espresso, touring the downtowns "as a local" and eating pastries. Fabrizio's knowledge of the areas, focused and casual demeanor coupled with his undeniable recognition as a true local made these two days one of a kind. His personal approach to meeting our needs was unparalleled and by the second day we were best friends! We highly...HIGHLY recommend Fabrizio! Thank you Fabrizio for the history lessons, the wonderful sites, the beautiful wineries, visits to small downtowns and best of all your genuine kindness. Best!

If I could give a million stars! Our wine experience was so special. The people, the wine and the food was amazing. Fabrizio’s connections and knowledge made this a once in a lifetime experience! We will definitely plan to come back and use his tour company again!!!

While planning our July 2025 trip to Italy, my wife and I were staying in Tuscany and knew we wanted to explore the region and experience local wineries—but without the stress of driving narrow, winding roads after wine tastings. After coming across a recommendation for Fabrizio on the Rick Steves forum, I checked out his website and reached out. From that moment on, everything was effortless. By the time we connected with Fabrizio, I had already done extensive planning for our trip (splitting time between Tuscany and Liguria, coordinating rental cars, trains, Airbnbs, and activities). The last thing I wanted to do was research wineries, coordinate tastings, and handle logistics. Fabrizio took care of absolutely everything—and then some. We stayed in Montepulciano, and Fabrizio met us right near our accommodation at 9:30am. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were going to get along great. He has such a warm, friendly, and genuine presence. We started the day with espresso, and he took time to explain Italian cultural norms around work, coffee, food, and life in small towns. He enthusiastically answered every question we had and showed real interest in getting to know us as well. Over the course of the day, we visited two wineries—one small and very local, the other much larger—each offering a completely different and memorable experience. Along the way, we stopped in Pienza for gelato, drove through the stunning Val d’Orcia, and visited the Roman baths in Bagni Vignoni. Every stop felt thoughtful, unrushed, and perfectly timed. As if that wasn’t enough, at the end of the day Fabrizio casually called a friend in Florence and secured us dinner reservations for later in our trip (we were staying there for two nights). That moment perfectly summed him up—connected, generous, and truly invested in giving us the best possible experience. Fabrizio was far more than a driver. He immersed us in the Tuscan experience we were craving, and it exceeded every expectation we had. I honestly don’t even remember what the day cost us—but I do know it was a bargain. This experience was priceless, and I would do it all over again without hesitation. If you’re looking for an authentic, stress-free, unforgettable Tuscan experience with a true professional, stop searching and book with Fabrizio. You won’t regret it.

We had the best, most memorable day with Fabrizio! He instantly made us feel comfortable and welcomed in Montepulciano. Fabrizio was knowledgeable about the area, told us many interesting facts, and stopped to show us historic and cinematic landmarks. Throughout the day, we toured two local, family-run wineries. At Poggio Grande, we had the opportunity to meet the owners of the winery, who were fantastic. We learned so much about their specific wine-making process, their land, and were able to ask many questions/had a great conversation. We enjoyed some of the best wine and olive oil, all while overlooking breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside! At the next winery, Innocenti, we ate lunch and had the best homemade lasagna we had ever tasted (accompanied by some delicious Brunello)! The views at this winery were stunning, nestled up on the hillside, overlooking the rolling hills. Throughout the day we stopped at local cafes in Pienza and Siena, and enjoyed espresso and Tuscan cannolis/treats. Fabrizio was such a great guide; he was personable and kept us laughing! This day was the highlight of our trip to Italy, we would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an authentic tour!

Fabrizio is an amazing tour guide — spending the day with him feels like hanging out with family! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and knows the area inside and out. We visited two Brunello wineries, both small, family-run estates that have been making wine for generations. These weren’t the usual tourist spots — just authentic, welcoming places with outstanding wines. We also stopped at a local sheep farm where they make their own pecorino cheese and enjoyed a fantastic, rustic lunch in the farmhouse. It was such a genuine, off-the-beaten-path experience. I can’t recommend Fabrizio enough. If you’re lucky enough to book him, you’re in for an unforgettable day!

AMAZING DAY WITH FABRIZIO ! I don't even know where to start. I contacted Fabrizio via email and just from that correspondence I could tell he was a gem. Meeting him in person even exceeded my expectations ! He took my husband out for a magical day in beautiful Tuscany. This is where his home is and more importantly , his heart. He is known and loved by all the locals. Our experience walking the streets of montelpulciano and Pienza with him will never be forgotten. We felt like a local , like him. He also took us to Brunello winery.... what an experience that was. And the wine ..!!! 🍷 We left the day having gained a new friend. Grazie Fabrizio ! Gina and Gary from New Jersey
