The Montalcino Express: A Wine Train from Siena to Montalcino

The Winestation Association has recently created a new train tour, The Montalcino Express, that runs from Siena to Montalcino every Saturday and Sunday. You can read more about the Wine Train here. The train departs from Siena's train station at 10 am and returns by 7 pm and costs 22 Euros per person. Once in Montalcino you have approximately 6 hours to explore the area including participating in wine tastings (at Robert Cirpresso's Winery), visiting Montalcino, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Val d'Orcia.

The WineStation also has another tour, the Treno del Vino Adventure, which costs 75 Euros per person. This train also departs Siena at 10 am and arrives by 7 pm. The tour includes a visit to the 12th-century Romanesque Abbey of Sant'Antimo, lunch at a historical wine cellar (includes wine tasting), and a visit to Montalcino and the town's wineries.
