Description
Start your day early with a comfortable, air-conditioned bus ride from Rome taking in the picturesque landscapes of the Italian countryside as you make your way to your first stop, Montepulciano.
Upon reaching Montepulciano, explore its historic center, charming streets, and beautiful piazzas – including locations featured in the “Twilight” movie saga and other cinematic works - in the company of a certified tour leader.
Please note that the walking path has a slight incline.
Enjoy some free time to discover the town at your own pace. Browse local shops, eat a gelato, or simply admire the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Next, visit a local 13th-century winery for a tasting guided by an experienced sommelier. Sample some of Tuscany's finest wines and gain insights into the winemaking process.
The cellar also houses a 2000-year-old Etruscan tomb, and it is possible to visit the old refectory room used by the friars. Delight in a sumptuous Tuscan lunch, perfectly paired with local wines, as you savor traditional dishes made from fresh, regional ingredients.
After lunch, continue your journey to Montalcino, a medieval town known for its impressive fortress. Begin your visit at the former Sant’Agostino convent, now home to the Temple of Brunello interactive museum. Dive into the rich history and culture of the area while learning about the production of the famous Brunello di Montalcino wine.
