Visit the charming village of Pienza and try some world-famous wines made in the nearby towns of Montalcino and Montepulciano. While driving through the beautiful countryside of Tuscany on the route to Montalcino, take some time to relax. Learn about the imposing castle built in the fourteenth century that stands atop the hill. At the same time, you take in the scenery and hear about the history of winemaking from an experienced sommelier during your stroll through the vineyard. Before settling down for lunch, you should try a variety of the region's wines.
To see a famous underground cellar that dates back to the 16th century, make your way into the heart of Montepulciano. Discover the cellar's history and take in the breathtaking sights of the vaults and tunnels that make up this enchanting location for the adventure. Taste some of the best wine the cellar offers and learn how each tastes different.
You will walk around the streets of Montepulciano and Pienza, located in medieval towns. You will travel to two vineyards run by families and sample a wide variety of wines, from those made from 100% Sangiovese grapes (such as the world-renowned Brunello di Montalcino) to blends of wine varietals that are one-of-a-kind in their composition. We'll have lunch at an organic farm that also has a restaurant and is very proud of how good its food is. You will be served a meal of several courses and different kinds of cheese made from raw milk, bread and olive oil made from scratch, and extra virgin olive oil.
