Your day begins in Siena, where you’ll meet your guide at Piazza San Domenico. From there, you’ll drive through the breathtaking Crete Senesi, a region of winding roads, rolling hills, and picturesque cypress trees – the Tuscany you’ve always imagined.
The first stop is Pienza, designed by Pope Pius II as the “ideal Renaissance town.” Stroll its charming streets, enjoy views of the Val d’Orcia, and don’t miss the chance to taste its famous pecorino cheese.
Next, head to a local farm for a delicious Tuscan lunch, paired with regional wines. This farm-to-table experience is a highlight of the day, giving you a taste of authentic rural life.
In the afternoon, your journey continues to Montepulciano, one of Tuscany’s most celebrated wine towns. Here, you’ll step into a historic cellar to taste Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a red wine praised for its rich flavors and heritage.
As the day winds down, you’ll return to Siena with new friends, lasting memories, and perhaps a few bottles of wine to take home.
