Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano Day Trip
Taste some of Italy’s most renowned wine and sample its local products during a full day-trip to Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano, all in the province of Siena.
Itinerary
Leave Florence behind in the morning on your air-conditioned coach and head towards the province of Siena, a picturesque county with slanting hills, ancient vineyards, olive trees, abbeys and rustic farms.
Visit a traditional wine estate in Montalcino, a small walled town that is perched on top of a hill in Val d’Orcia. Follow the expert guide through the vineyards and the estate’s cellars and complete the tour with a wine tasting (Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino) accompanied by some of Tuscany’s local produce. After the tasting, you’ll explore the village and admire its fortress.
Continue your journey to Pienza, Pope Pius II’s hometown, which he transformed into an ideal Renaissance town. This romantic city is famous for its pecorino cheese, made from ewe’s milk.
Next, you’ll stop at Montepulciano. This medieval and Renaissance city sits on a hill surrounded by century old trees and green valleys. Admire its impressive churches, monuments and buildings and then you’ll head to a wine estate in the region and sample its famous Vino Nobile and typical cold meats and cheese.
