Tuscany Day Trip & Wine Tour
Description
This excursion will guide you through some of the most enchanting villages in Tuscany while indulging in wine tastings. We will explore Chianti, Pienza, and Montepulciano.
Tour Overview
If you're eager to discover the charming villages of Tuscany and experience its celebrated wines, meet us at the specified time at the Siena - Ferrovia bus stop to kick off our journey—let's embark!
Our adventure begins as we traverse the undulating hills of Chianti, where time seems to stand still amidst ancient vineyards and olive groves. We will take a break at a local winery to sample three distinct wines, each showcasing its own unique essence. Accompanying the wine, you will enjoy freshly baked Tuscan bread dipped in local olive oil while we share the history, traditions, and artisan practices of the area.
After an hour, we will move on to the breathtaking Val d'Orcia, arriving in Pienza. Often referred to as the "ideal city," Pienza is renowned for its stunning streets, houses, and churches, making it a magnificent Renaissance architectural wonder. Following our exploration, we'll enjoy a leisurely 1-hour 20-minute lunch, featuring a selection of charcuterie, cheeses, pasta with a traditional Tuscan ragù, along with water and coffee.
Next, our journey takes us to Montepulciano, known for its elegant Renaissance palaces set against a backdrop of scenic vineyards. As a point of interest, parts of the film New Moon from the Twilight Saga were shot in this location! You will have 1 hour and 45 minutes to wander through the town at your leisure.
Subsequently, we will make our way to a second winery, where we will delve into the secrets of Tuscany’s exquisite wines. Experience a tour of the barrel rooms, followed by another tasting session paired with local snacks. Delicious!
Ultimately, our tour will wrap up back at the starting location, concluding around 10 hours after our departure.
