The four of us booked this tour with Meet Piemonte. They sent us the addresses of the two wineries which we would have never found on our own and a list of things to see in the area. Gorgeous cellars, both owners where so personable and treated us like family. Lunch was a starter, ravioli and dessert, not a huge meal but enough to carry on until dinner and great pairing with the wines of the first winery. We had some time in between wineries so we went to one of the big benches they recommend us and we took photos and enjoy some sunshine. This region is stunning and we will come back.

I recently planned an event for my company where we hosted a group of 20 for a 3 day trip to Piedmont region. I used Piedmobt Taxi service for all of my transportation, including pickup and drop off at Turin, and Barolo for a private full day wine tour. I had people flying in from many different cities and the logistics were not easy. This tour operator was on top of all of it! We were picked up on time, dropped off on time, and had great and friendly drivers! I will be planning the same trip next year and will be calling Piedmont Wind Tours for handle everything. Can't say enough about the professionalism and customer service that I received from Carlo, Alex and the whole team at Piedmont Wind tour.

This tour far exceeded our expectations! At first we were a little surprised to be told we were going to a saffron farm, as that hadn't been mentioned previously. It actually turned out to be a fascinating experience. We got to try the local saffron, including saffron infused beer, honey along with some of the local cheese and meats. We then went to castello tricerchi for a tour of a vineyard, cellars and the castle itself. The place was stunningly beautiful, and we got to have a wine tasting in the castle itself. After that we went to Martoccia which was another beautiful vineyard just outside montalcino. The cellar tour was fascinating, and it was followed by a 4 course lunch with wine tasting. The food was spectacular, and the wine was incredible. We were lucky enough to be able to try the new 2015 brunello which hadn't even been labelled yet. Our tour guide Nadia was extremely knowledgable and very relaxed. The tour actually finished 2 hours late, but she didn't seem to mind. She even let us store our wine in her office so we could go and explore Montalcino in the evening. Fantastic tour. Would thoroughly recommend
