Hi,
My fiance and I will be staying in Montepulciano for 5 night (September 29th - October 3rd). We will be on our honeymoon and would like to spend at least one and perhaps two days exploring wineries and drinking wine. We will have a car, but do not want to be driving. Ideally we would like to have a private driver/tour guide take us to a wineries and other beautful sites nearby. I am aware that there are lots of great places in Montepulciano to taste the wine, but we really enjoying be at the wineries, seeing how each producer is set up, and meeting the people who make the wine. Also, when we are there, it will be very close to harvest/crush, so being at a winery will be extra-special. We definitely want to explore the Brunello wineries near Montalcino.
Can anyone suggest a tour guide or driver that is reasonable? I have been seeing some online that are in the $350/person range. We would prefer to spend no more than $500/day total for a driver. Ideally much less. We are completely opposed to doing a group tour, but it would need to be small (less than 8 people or so). Since we have a car, we could even just hire a person to drive our car around for the day if thats possible. We would need to be picked up and dropped off in Montepulciano. Thanks in advance for your help.
