Brunello or Chianti wine tours?
We only have time for one of the two.I like the idea of being picked up and not having to worry about driving so for our late June 2007 trip we decided to go the tour route.Any advice on which of the two may be more worthwile based on the vineyard, close by neighboring sites etc?

We did a private tour of Altessino outside of Montalcino. The owner kindly showed us around and gave us the history. It was quite special. The winery is located a few miles outside of Montalcino. You could combine a tour of the Monte Oliveto Maggiore Monastary with the wine tour.
Here is a link to the winery
