Description
Escape to Tuscany: Montepulciano, Pienza, and Tuscan Vineyards from Rome
Leave behind the bustling cityscape of Rome for the tranquil charm of Tuscany on this scenic excursion. Your adventure kicks off with a convenient pick-up in Rome via a comfortable air-conditioned car or minivan. By mid-morning, arrive at the ancient Etruscan town of Montepulciano. Dive into the underground wine cellars, home to the acclaimed Nobile wine, and savor a delightful wine tasting session.
Take in breathtaking vistas of Tuscany’s lush vineyards before your private driver escorts you to Montepulciano where you can visit parts of the old underground city and Etruscan tomb. Pause at Pienza, where you'll have free time for a leisurely lunch. Gain insight into notable attractions like the two Renaissance palaces and the exquisite Duomo to explore during your time in town. Pienza’s quaint size encourages self-guided exploration, allowing you to immerse yourself in its historic architecture and panoramic countryside views.
Don't miss sampling Pienza's famed specialty, pecorino cheese, available at various artisanal food stores dotted around the town. With your bags brimming with wine and cheese, reconvene at the vehicle for a comfortable and picturesque return journey to Rome.
