Val D’Orcia Tour with Wine Tasting from Florence

Discover the beautiful towns of Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano! Delight in two different wine tastings and savor the renowned flavors of fresh Pecorino cheese. The tour begins with a wine tasting in Montalcino, the home of the famous Brunello wine. Here, you will be enchanted by the outstanding charm of a special wine cellar.

Then, wander through the charming streets to the town’s summit, where a breathtaking view awaits: sunlit rolling hills, ancient oaks, charming olive groves, scenic country roads weaving through pristine vineyards, and solitary cypress trees. Be sure to have your camera ready!

The following stop is Pienza, the “ideal city” built in the 15th century by the famous architect Bernardo Rossellino at the behest of Pope Pius II. Marvel at architectural masterpieces like the Duomo and Palazzo Piccolomini, where Zeffirelli’s famous film “Romeo and Juliet” was filmed, and take in one of the most beautiful and evocative views of the Val d’Orcia.

Finally, you will arrive in Montepulciano, famed for its Vino Nobile vineyards and more recently for being a filming location for the vampire movie “New Moon.” Relish a wine and Pecorino cheese tasting while exploring a genuine dungeon, where wine has been historically stored beneath the ancient winery walls, before returning to Florence.
