Description
This Tuscany day trip combines hilltop views, quality wine, and free time to explore without transport or reservation hassles. Depart central Rome by comfortable coach with an expert guide.
Travel north toward the Lazio badlands and hill towns, then arrive near Civita di Bagnoregio. Take the included shuttle to the village entrance, then cross the 300-meter pedestrian bridge to the cliffside village. Explore narrow stone streets, quiet piazzas, and viewpoints overlooking tufa rock formations and deep ravines.
Afterward, continue by coach to a family-run winery near Montepulciano. Sample local products such as pecorino, prosciutto, salami, capocollo, and bruschetta with olive oil. Enjoy a rustic lunch featuring handmade pici pasta with aglione sauce, paired with three wines, finishing with cantucci and Vin Santo.
Next, visit the Renaissance hill town of Pienza. Spend about one hour at leisure browsing food shops, photographing the honey-colored streets, and admiring Val d’Orcia’s landscape.
