Tour Details
If you are eager to uncover the villages of Tuscany and enjoy its famous wines, we will gather at the specified time at the Siena - Ferrovia bus stop to kick off our journey—let the adventure begin!
Our first stop takes us through the scenic hills of Chianti, where you'll find ancient vineyards and olive groves that embody the timeless beauty of rural Tuscany. At a local vineyard, we'll have the chance to sample three distinct wines, each reflecting the unique terroir of the area. This tasting will be complemented with freshly baked Tuscan bread and farm-produced olive oil, during which we will delve into the history, traditions, and artisanal skills of the region.
After an hour, we'll make our way to the stunning Val d'Orcia, where we will arrive in Pienza. Often referred to as the "ideal city," Pienza is revered for its stunning streets, buildings, and churches, making it a true Renaissance marvel. Here, we'll enjoy a leisurely lunch lasting 1 hour and 20 minutes, featuring charcuterie, cheeses, traditional pasta with Tuscan ragù, along with water and coffee.
Following lunch, our journey continues to Montepulciano, known for its beautiful Renaissance palaces enveloped in lush vineyards. Interestingly, scenes from the movie New Moon from the Twilight Saga were filmed in this area! You will have 1 hour and 45 minutes to freely explore the enchanting town at your leisure.
After our exploration, we will head to a second winery to uncover the secrets of Tuscany’s exquisite wines. Here, we’ll tour the barrel rooms and indulge in another wine tasting accompanied by regional delicacies. Delicious!
Our experience will wrap up at the original meeting point, completing our tour approximately 10 hours after we commenced.
