Tour Details
If you’re eager to experience the enchanting villages of Tuscany and their famous wines, join us at the designated meeting point at the Siena - Ferrovia stop to embark on this adventure.
Our first destination is the scenic Chianti region, characterized by its rolling hills dotted with ancient vineyards and olive groves. At a local winery, we will indulge in the tasting of three distinctive wines, complemented by freshly baked Tuscan bread and the farm's own olive oil, all while delving into the area's rich history and artisanal culture.
After approximately an hour, we will proceed to Pienza, nestled in the stunning Val d'Orcia. Often referred to as the "ideal city," Pienza boasts remarkable streets, buildings, and churches, earning its reputation as a Renaissance masterpiece. Here, we will enjoy a leisurely lunch lasting 1 hour and 20 minutes, featuring a selection of charcuterie, local cheeses, traditional pasta with ragù, along with water and coffee.
Following lunch, we will travel to Montepulciano, renowned for its beautiful Renaissance architecture amidst breathtaking vineyards. An interesting tidbit: certain scenes from the film New Moon, part of the Twilight Saga, were shot here! You will have 1 hour and 45 minutes to wander and explore the town at your leisure.
To conclude our journey, we will visit a second winery to learn about the art of crafting Tuscany’s renowned wines. This part of the tour includes a visit to the barrel rooms and another delightful wine tasting paired with local snacks.
Ultimately, we will return to our starting point, roughly 10 hours after the tour commenced.
