San Gimignano & Montalcino Excursion
Join us at 72 Giuseppe Garibaldi as we embark on a bus journey towards San Gimignano. This mesmerizing town, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasts a skyline adorned with historic towers, making it easily recognizable.
After a 40-minute ride, we will reach our first destination. Here, you will have a generous 2-hour window to explore San Gimignano at your leisure. We suggest wandering through the narrow alleyways and taking in the stunning squares, such as Piazza del Duomo, home to the Collegiata della Assunta di Maria, and Piazza della Cisterna, the site of the former medieval marketplace.
Following your exploration, we will head to a local winery for a delightful tasting of Chianti wines, a tradition that dates back to the 13th century. Enjoy an hour of indulging in regional wines paired with salami, cheeses, and various appetizers.
Our adventure will continue into the Orcia Valley, another treasure of Tuscany certified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. We will then proceed to Montalcino, perched atop a hill that offers sweeping views of 1,500 hectares of Brunello vineyards, renowned for their contribution to the region's global reputation.
To conclude our day, we will visit a winery where you'll sample the distinguished Brunello di Montalcino, recognized as one of Italy's most celebrated and historic wines.
At the end of this enriching journey, we will return you to the original meeting point after an engaging 11 hours.
