Full description

Leave the hustle and bustle of Rome behind and set off on a full-day journey into the timeless beauty of Tuscany. Rolling hills brushed with golden light, endless vineyards, cypress-lined country roads and enchanting hilltop towns await you in the heart of the Val d’Orcia.

Travel comfortably by fully equipped GT coach from Rome and relax as the Eternal City fades into the scenic landscapes of the Tuscan countryside.

Your first stop is Montepulciano, a Renaissance gem world-famous for its prestigious Vino Nobile. Enjoy free time to explore its charming streets before descending into the extraordinary Cantina Talosa, a spectacular historic cellar carved entirely into tuff rock in the 16th century. Beneath the city, among ancient brick vaults and centuries-old barrels, you will uncover the deep roots of Tuscan winemaking while enjoying a tasting of the renowned Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

In the afternoon, continue to Pienza, known as the “Ideal City” of the Renaissance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site within the magnificent Val d'Orcia. Stroll through its harmonious streets, admire breathtaking panoramic views over the rolling hills, and enjoy free time to soak in the atmosphere of this architectural masterpiece.

Pienza is also celebrated for its cheese tradition: indulge in a delicious tasting of the famous Pecorino di Pienza, known for its distinctive and refined flavor.

After a day immersed in art, history, wine and unforgettable landscapes, relax on the journey back to Rome, carrying with you the essence of Classic Tuscany.
