Step by Step

Experience an unforgettable day discovering the rural soul of Tuscany with this full day excursion from Florence. Let yourself be carried away by the countryside of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO-recognised scenic jewel, and feel the serenity that only the Tuscan hills can offer.

The journey begins with a stop in Montalcino, famous for its Brunello di Montalcino wine, one of the most prestigious in the world. Here you will visit a traditional winery, where you will learn about the winemaking process and enjoy an exclusive tasting in a fairytale setting. Afterwards, you will have free time to stroll through its medieval streets or visit its fortress.

Continue to Pienza, the "ideal city" of the Renaissance, created by Pope Pius II and the architect Rossellino. Its cobbled streets and panoramic views of the Val d'Orcia will make you fall in love with it. Here you can taste the famous pecorino cheese of Pienza, an artisanal delicacy with centuries of tradition.

The last stop will be Montepulciano, land of Vino Nobile. Here you will visit a historic winery located under the ancient walls, where you will enjoy a wine tasting accompanied by local products. Between tastings, cobbled streets and endless views, you will discover why this region has been the setting for such well-known films as "Twilight: New Moon".

During the tour, you will have free time to stroll around, take photos or buy typical products, while your guide shares stories about the culture, architecture and gastronomy of Tuscany.

A perfect trip for those looking to combine culture, nature and flavour in a single day.

    After a long bus ride, the views from Montalcina and Multepulciano were breathtaking. This was a great tour with excellent wine tasting; cheese tasting not so much, but great town nonetheless.
