What wine-lover can deny the thrill evoked by names such as Brunello, Barolo, Chianti, or….... And if you're ready to visit these wonderful places you deserve to go in style... visit the best  enotecas, stay in the best  accommodations, enjoying gourmet meals and fine wines throughout.  

 At Del Monti Gianbartolomei we've done the research for you, and are constantly updating and  improving our knowledge. We have access to the top wineries, and know each area intimately. We can plan our  time most efficiently - based on what you want to see and do.  

You have the value of our experience, organization and personal contacts with service only found in our groups. You won't find a more carefully planned or better value tour - on most tours our rates include all meals, tastings and scheduled visits. You may find a cheaper tour, but why settle for second best when you're going so far for something so important?

 We have no affiliation with the wine trade. The owners of the top wineries know that our guests have a genuine love and appreciation of their wine. They welcome us with a respect that simply doesn't exist on trade-organized tours, and our aim is to take you to the best and most interesting properties, not to try to sell you wine. 

 We also try to  lead most Italian tours ourselves, as it is our personal touch that earns this respect - both from the winemakers  of Italy and our customers.

Availability and Special Tours: 

We can write a custom itinerary for you at any time. Call or fax us or e-mail us with your preferred dates and destinations. All tours are custom designed for your adventure to taste the world's greatest wines and food . 

Self-Drive Itineraries 

If you can't join us on a guided tour, at least you can use our knowledge and contacts to plan your independent  vacation. We'll book your hotels, enotecas visits, dinner reservations, rail tickets and car rental, etc.  You'll benefit from our personal introduction to your hosts, and stay in the accommodation we use on our guided tours.
