Brunello Wine Bus tour in Montalcino

Hello fellow travelers!

My boyfriend and I will be traveling to Italy this August and would like to do the Brunello Wine Bus tour in Montalcino that Rick recommends in his Italy 2014 guidebook, but we're having a bit of trouble booking. He writes that you can book a bus tour on lecameredibacco.com that takes you to 4 wineries in the area from 9AM-8PM, and is 25euro/pp. Their website is a bit clunky/poorly designed, but I put in a request on this page (http://www.lecameredibacco.com/lecameredibacco/en/informazioni-joomla/29/611-brunello-wine-bus). Unfortunately when we got a response, the owners tried to sell us on a two-part tour that is from 10AM-7PM for 58euro per person and said that the information on the website is incorrect.

My question is, has anyone on this forum been on the Brunello Wine Bus tour in Montalcino, and if so how did you go about booking the tickets? I just want to make sure that we're getting on the right tour. Thanks so much in advance for any help/advice!

Thanks, Robert! I actually found that website too and contacted them, and it turns out that the websites are run by the same people as lecameredibacco (Alice and Nadia). I got the same response from both websites, but I don't know why they aren't offering the bus tour that is advertised. We're staying in Montalcino and we will have a car, but we didn't want to worry about drinking/driving when we toured the wineries, so we thought the hop on/hop off bus tour would be a good option for us.

My only note is that they say the €25/person Brunello Wine Bus is available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays through November 1. Were you trying to book one of those days?
