Leave Florence behind and set off on a full-day small-group wine tour through the rolling hills of southern Tuscany, in the heart of the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Your journey begins in the historic hill town of Montepulciano, where food and wine blend into a truly authentic Tuscan experience. Enjoy a traditional lunch prepared with local ingredients, starting with a selection of classic Tuscan cured meats and cheeses. The meal continues with homemade pici pasta served with slow-cooked ragù, or with tomato sauce for vegetarian guests. During lunch, take part in a guided tasting of Rosso di Montepulciano and the celebrated Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, perfectly paired with the regional cuisine.

After lunch, travel on to Pienza, a Renaissance jewel renowned for its elegant architecture and sweeping views over the Val d’Orcia. Enjoy free time to wander through its charming streets, browse artisan shops, and take in the panoramic viewpoints.

Your final stop is Montalcino, the birthplace of the world-famous Brunello di Montalcino. Visit a local winery for a guided tasting, where you’ll learn about the traditions and aging process behind one of Italy’s most prestigious wines.
