Val d'Orcia tour: Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano
10 hours
Starting from €199
This journey is a must-do in Tuscany for wine and food lovers!
Our semi-private tour will be on board of a premium minivan with an English speaking driver, air conditioner and complimentary water.
The Val D'Orcia has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004 and was a source of inspiration for many Renaissance painters. There, you will be surrounded by impressive views, art, culture, amazing wine, and delicious food!
The first stop will be a great winery in Montalcino. The winery is owned by a local family, and when talking with them, you will not have the feeling you’re visiting their workplace, but their home instead! You will learn everything about Brunello di Montalcino: the vineyard techniques, the winemaking process, its ageing and, of course, how to appreciate it by drinking different vintages!
After the wine tasting, we will go to Pienza just a few kilometers away.
When arrived in Pienza, a Papal village famous for its Pecorino cheese, you will have the chance to enjoy a gourmet lunch in an ex-convent of the XV century.
An amazing 3-course meal which includes wine and water will be served in a colourful garden with a stunning view of the Val d'Orcia!
Following lunch, you will have free time to discover the lovely town of Pienza where you can appreciate the historic centre, enjoy the viewpoints and visit the famous cheese shops!
Then, we will keep going to Montepulciano, our last stop. Montepulciano is a quintessential Tuscan medieval village vaunting green landscapes marked by rolling hills and castle walls. Situated on a limestone hill 2000 feet above the sea level, it's famous worldwide for its "Vino Nobile" that you will be able to try during your free time.
There, we will be guided through a historical cellar called "The Underground City" located in the downstairs of a local wine shop. At the exit from the underground city, you will be greeted by a tasting of wine and other food specialities.
Before leaving, we will make sure you have enough time to visit the main square, placed on the top of the town, from where you can take your last pictures!
At that point, our tour will end and we will be back to Florence in full comfort around 6:30 pm.
