Tuscany Wine & Hills from Siena

Description

The adventure begins in the charming medieval village of Monteriggioni, where you'll join the other group and head over to the first canteen. Let the rolling hills of Chianti beckon you as you dive into the region's rich winemaking heritage. Visit a winery where you'll not only sample world-class wines but also learn about the craft of producing extra virgin olive oil—a blend of ancient olive varieties that embodies the essence of Tuscany. In the first cellar, you'll taste three different wines, gaining a deeper appreciation for the unique flavors and textures of each. Complement your tasting with a selection of home-produced olive oil and traditional Tuscan bread. Our knowledgeable guides will enrich your experience with insights into Tuscany's deep-rooted history, art, and rural culture.

Continue your journey into the scenic Val d'Orcia, stopping first in Pienza, a town where architectural beauty meets breathtaking landscapes. Wander through lanes with evocative names and enjoy panoramic views that have inspired countless artists and poets. Take some free time to explore the town on your own and savor a leisurely lunch.

Your tour then takes you to Montepulciano, where the grandeur of Renaissance architecture and the elegance of historic churches will enchant you. Delight in the traditional Nobile di Montepulciano wine as you explore the city and capture its stunning views.

The adventure continues with a visit to a second winery, where you’ll taste more locally produced wines, including the renowned Nobile di Montepulciano, paired with traditional snacks. 

Finally, relax and enjoy the scenic drive back to Siena, bringing your Tuscan journey to a close.
