Want to explore the villages of Tuscany and savor its renowned wines? If so, we’ll meet at the indicated time at the Siena - Ferrovia stop to begin our adventure—let’s go!
First, we'll pass the winding hills of Chianti, where ancient vineyards and olive trees paint the timeless landscape of rural Tuscany. Here, we'll visit a local winery to taste three wines, each with a unique character. We'll accompany the wine with freshly baked Tuscan bread and the olive oil from the farm as we tell you about the region's history, traditions, and artisanal practices.
After an hour, we'll head into the picturesque Val d'Orcia and arrive in Pienza. Did you know Pienza is known as the "ideal city"? The beauty of its streets, houses, and churches make it a true Renaissance architectural gem. We'll then sit down for a 1-hour 20-minute lunch of charcuterie, cheeses, pasta with traditional Tuscan ragù, water, and coffee.
Next, we'll visit Montepulciano, famous for its Renaissance palaces surrounded by picturesque vineyards. Fun fact: parts of the movie New Moon from the Twilight Saga were filmed here! You'll have 1 hour and 45 minutes to explore the town at your own pace.
Afterward, we'll visit a second winery to uncover the secrets behind Tuscany’s exquisite wines. We'll tour the barrel rooms and enjoy a wine tasting accompanied by regional snacks. Yum!
Finally, our tour will conclude at the starting point, 10 hours after we began.
