Description

Leave Rome for a day to discover Tuscany and Val d'Orcia.

With your guide, you will leave Rome on an air-conditioned bus and head to the village of Montepulciano, perched upon a mountain. You will stop in this small, quaint town to admire Etruscan wells and medieval cellars, which are still in use today. You will have free time to wander around the town.

Once back on the bus, the tour continues to the Montalcino vineyards. See Tuscan vineyards before visiting the Sant Biagio abbey. Your guide show you around the Gregorian abbey, and you will have the chance to hear monks sing.

The next stop is at a Tuscan farm located out of town, where you'll stop for a lunch composed of three local dishes served alongside local wine. The dishes you will savour are made with regional products, giving you a great insight on Tuscan cuisine! After your meal, you will participate in a tasting session, during which you can try one of the best wines in Italy, the region's pride and joy: Brunello di Montalcino.*

After the lunch and tasting break, your Tuscan excursion will take you to the town of Pienza. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was created by Pope Pius II as a "utopian village". With free time and a map, you can discover the monuments of Pienza at your own pace and find some Pecorino, the famous local Italian cheese.

At the end of your free time, you will board your bus again to return to Rome in the evening.

Excessive drinking is bad for your health. Please drink responsibly.
