Tuscan Vineyard Picnics with Loacker Wine Estates

Set in the heart of Tuscany’s renowned wine country, Loacker Wine Estates offers a distinctive outdoor experience in Montalcino, Siena. This private picnic journey unfolds amid the rolling vineyards of Corte Pavone Winery, a place where the landscape tells a story of centuries-old winemaking traditions and the unique terroir of the region. Montalcino itself is celebrated worldwide for its Brunello wine, and here you connect directly with the earth and craftsmanship behind those prestigious vintages.

The adventure begins with a guided walk through vineyard rows heavy with Sangiovese grapes, the key to Brunello’s bold character. The tour includes a cellar visit where ancient stone walls cradle barrels aging in cool shadows. This grounding in place and process deepens appreciation before sitting down to a carefully arranged picnic. The meal showcases local culinary craftsmanship—think fresh focaccia, rich pecorino cheese, and house-made salumi—paired with a selection of estate wines. Each bite and sip draws out the Tuscan landscape’s essence.
