Your tour will begin in central Florence near Piazza della Repubblica, where your driver-tour escort will join you. Hop aboard your luxury minivan and journey toward the hilltop towns of Tuscany. Soak up the scenery of the countryside while your driver-tour escort provides commentary about the area’s history and wine production.
Your first stop will be Montepulciano, home of the beloved Rosso di Montepulciano wine and the vino di nobile. Admire the town’s Renaissance architecture and stop for a visit at San Biagio church.
Then you will be driven to a gorgeous rustic Organic Cheese Farm, just outside Pienza and overlooking the Valley and Pienza itself. Here during a tour of the farm and the dairy you’ll learn how the Pecorino cheese is made and aged and you’ll have the opportunity to taste it accompanied by a glass of wine.
Your driver-tour escort will then lead you to the Renaissance hilltown Pienza, which affords incredible views over the Orcia Valley. Pienza is also well-known for the cheese produced here and called Pecorino from Pienza, that you may taste in one of the many small and charming shops around the town selling this famous local cheese.
You will be given free time to wander around and here you will also have many lunch opportunities (lunch not included). Next, we will visit a selected winery in Montalcino wine area, home to the famous Brunello di Montalcino wine. Enjoy a tour of the winery followed by a wine tasting of three different types of Brunello. After a rewarding Day in Val D’Orcia, we’ll make our way back to Florence where we will arrive at about 6 pm.
