Introduction:
Visit the charming Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and experience the heart of Tuscany away from the hustle and bustle of Florence. Explore the beautiful towns of Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano; enjoy two different wine tastings and savor the famous Pecorino cheese!
Montalcino
The journey begins with a wine tasting in Montalcino, the world-famous home of Brunello wine. Here, you'll be captivated by the exceptional charm of a particularly noteworthy winery. Next, stroll through picturesque streets to reach the town's highest point, where breathtaking views will leave you in awe: sun-drenched rolling hills, ancient oak trees, scenic olive groves, and winding country roads meandering through perfect vineyards and solitary cypress trees atop the hills.
Pienza
The journey continues to Pienza, perched on a hill overlooking the entire Val d'Orcia, offering extraordinary views. This "Ideal City" was built in the 15th century by the renowned architect Bernardo Rossellino at the behest of Pope Pius II. Admire architectural gems such as the Duomo and Palazzo Piccolomini, the filming location for the famous film "Romeo and Juliet." It also boasts one of the most beautiful and breathtaking panoramic views in the valley.
Montepulciano
The final stop arrives at Montepulciano, renowned for its famous Vino Nobile winery and recently gaining fame as a filming location for the vampire movie "New Moon." While visiting an authentic dungeon (where historically stored wines have been preserved beneath the winery's ancient walls), you can enjoy wine and pecorino cheese before returning to Florence.
