Itinerary
Book tickets for the Tuscany Wine & Hills Tour from Florence and taste the world-famous wines: Chianti & Nobile di Montepulciano. Enjoy a full day of culture and wine, as you visit some of the most impressive destinations in Tuscany such as Monteriggioni, Pienza and Montepulciano.
Begin your day by meeting our staff at Villa Costanza, Scandicci, Florence, where you'll join your group for a full-day adventure exploring some of the region's main sites.
Your tour begins with a visit to the charming medieval village of Monteriggioni. Enjoy a delightful breakfast in this picturesque setting, surrounded by ancient walls and towers that have stood the test of time. As you savor the local flavors, take in the serene beauty of the Tuscan countryside.
Let the rolling hills of Chianti draw you in as you explore the rich winemaking traditions in this iconic region. Visit a winery, where you'll not only taste world-class wines but also discover the art of producing extra virgin olive oil—a blend of ancient olive varieties that captures the essence of the land. In the first cellar, you will try 3 different types of wine, so that you will understand in detail the differences in taste and texture between different bottles. Enjoy also a selection of their home-produced olive oil and Tuscan bread. Our local guides will lead you on a journey through history, art, and peasant culture, revealing the deep roots that have animated Tuscany for millennia.
Next, continue your tour in the scenic Val d'Orcia, the first stop in Pienza, where architectural beauty and breathtaking landscapes create a perfect symphony. Stroll through lanes with evocative names and take in the panoramic views that have inspired poets and artists for centuries. Enjoy the free time to explore the town independently and have lunch.
Carry on your trip to Montepulciano, where the grandeur of Renaissance architecture and the refined beauty of historic churches will captivate you, while the traditional Nobile di Montepulciano wine will delight your palate. Take your time to explore the city and take pictures.
Your Tuscan adventure doesn't stop there. Visit the second cellar and savor locally produced wines, including the esteemed Nobile di Montepulciano paired with traditional snacks.
Conclude your day enjoying special views on your way back to Florence.
