Montepulciano & Pienza Tour

At the scheduled time, we'll meet in Montepulciano's Piazza Grande to start the tour. From the central square, we'll admire the façade of the Santa Assunta Cathedral, the Palazzo Comunale, and the Well of the Griffins and Lions. We will then stroll past the Renaissance palaces until we reach the Madonna di San Biagio Sanctuary, exploring its architectural details.

Next, we'll visit an underground cellar to taste the Montepulciano Vino Nobile wine, one of Italy's oldest wines. After the wine tasting, we'll board a minibus to drive through the Orcia Valley to Pienza, known for its elegant Renaissance buildings and street layout based on classical principles.

In Pienza, we will walk through the historic centre, recognized as a World Heritage Site. Along the way, we’ll see the façade of the Pienza Cathedral, the Piccolomini and Borgia palaces, and more. We will also have an opportunity to taste some pecorino cheese.

The tour will conclude upon our return to the starting point after a duration of 3 hours.
