Florence: Val d'Orcia Private Chauffeur-Driven Tour

1. Florence: Val d'Orcia Private Chauffeur-Driven Tour

Let your driver do all the work as they take you on a journey through the enchanting Val D'Orcia countryside, a region known for its scenic beauty, picturesque villages, rolling hills, and cypress trees. Explore in total freedom the enchanting towns of Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano, and try some of the best wines in the world. The first stop will be Montalcino, the land of the world-renowned Brunello wine. Here you will be enchanted by the outstanding charm of the tiny village itself, a maze of cobbled streets, quaint wine shops, and Romanesque-style churches. Next stop is the majestic medieval fortress. Admire the views of sunny rolling hills, picturesque olive groves, and scenic country roads winding through perfect vineyards. Continue to Pienza, built high on a hill with extraordinary views of the Orcia valley. The entire city was rebuilt as an ideal Renaissance town by order of Pope Pius II, and represents the first application of humanist urban planning concepts. Explore the pretty alleyways of this small town at your leisure and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. The last stop will be Montepulciano, home to the famous Vino Nobile vineyards and more recently famous for the filming of the vampire movie "New Moon". Enjoy free time here to stroll around Renaissance buildings, majestic palaces, and imposing churches.

Montalcino: Brunello’s Wine Experience and Wine Tasting

2. Montalcino: Brunello’s Wine Experience and Wine Tasting

Pre-book your entry ticket to Brunello Temple for an immersive and emotional journey to discover Brunello, king of wines and of the Montalcino territory. Enrich your visit with an optional tasting of 1 or 2 glasses of Brunello's wine. The experience begins at InChiostro, where a virtual reality viewer station called InVolo will allow you to immerse yourself in villas, castles, vineyards, and the small villages of the vast municipal area. Passing through the uncovered cloister, descend into an underground environment where the four founding pillars that have made Brunello unique are revealed through immersive videos. Move on to hear the voices of Brunello: interviews with the characters who have played a role in Brunello’s legend. In a divine painting, you’ll be invited to leave your mark through the color palette of Montalcino's colors. Artistic masterpieces will be presented in Calix, an expression of the inspiration and creative work that the land of Montalcino has been able to instill in people. Along the route, admire the frescoes of the Church of Sant’Agostino and learn the history of the area and its artistic heritage through the collections of the archaeological museum and the Civic and Diocesan Museum.

Fantastic tour particularly the fact the we had a very knowledgeable gentleman as our driver, Mr. Cristian Cestari. Throughout this private tour with a nice V-Series Mercedes and a great driver such as Cristian Cestari, we had a lovely day. Ring a Florentine, born and bred in Florence, was actually more than a guide for us and provided a lot of background information about Toscana and this tour.

Such a wonderful experience! We loved the tasting with delicious snacks. I ordered 2 cases of fine Brunello and got free shipping to California. Very much enjoyed the museum too!

The activity was what we wanted. Alexander the driver speaks very good spanish and he helped us all the time.
