Tuscany Wine And Cheese Tour In Pienza & Montepulciano

Tour Description

Indulge your palate in some of the low-hanging fruits of Pienza, Montalcino or Montepulciano. This full-day private tour from Rome or Florence transports you deep into the Tuscan countryside for a culinary and cultural adventure around Italy’s most viticulturally renowned region.

Driving through Tuscany is an experience in itself. As you cruise along in your air-conditioned car, your journey leads you through a landscape of rolling hills, wild olive groves, and bursting vineyards. But it’s what awaits you that makes the journey really worthwhile.

Discover the 15th century town of Pienza

We first reach the town of Pienza which, thanks to the generous patronage of Pope Pius II, is one of the most authentically Renaissance towns in Italy. After visiting Pienza (free time on your own) will enjoy lunch and cheese tasting in a wonderful farm located on top of one of the renowned rolling hills with a breathtaking view of the town of Pienza, the medieval village of Monticchiello and Mount Amiata and the Orcia Valley.

Lose yourself among the magnificence of Montepulciano

Your Tuscany adventure will continue with a stop in Montepulciano. Best known for its eponymous wine, this medieval walled city is just as ripe in Renaissance architecture. Climbing one of its vantage points for a breathtaking panoramic over Chianti is truly an unforgettable experience.

The vineyards surrounding Montepulciano’s walled centre produce some of the best wine in Italy.

Your trip to Tuscany will continue by visiting a Historical Cellar and the Montepulciano underground of 1500 where you will taste the Nobile di Montepulciano before we make our scenic journey back to the Eternal City.
