★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 87 reviews · 1.5 - 2.5 hours · from $47Our pick

Enjoy a private Tuscan vineyard picnic, regional wine, homemade specialties, and views over Montalcino at Corte Pavone Winery.

“O local é lindo, mas pagamos o piquenique para nosso grupo de 5 pessoas, onde uma não bebia nada alcoólico e pagou o mesmo preço dos demais. Além disso, nem essa pessoa e nem a criança que estavam conosco tinham nada além de água comum para beber. poderia haver, ao menos, um suco de uva, por exemplo. Outra coisa é que apesar de todos, com a exceção da criança, terem pago valor integral do passeio, só foram oferecidas 2 garrafas de vinho.”
