    Full description

    Leave Rome's hustle and bustle behind and head to Tuscany for the day.

    Enjoy a guided town of Montepulciano and eat a delicious 3-course lunch with an Italian wine-tasting experience you won't forget.

    A comfortable, air-conditioned coach will pick you up in Rome. As you drive towards rolling hills, your expert tour guide will explain Tuscany’s rich culture and answer any questions you might have about the day ahead. 

    First, enjoy a walking tour of the hill town of Montepulciano. Take in an ancient but still-functioning wine cellar and ruins that pre-date Rome. Next, visit San Biagio, a 16th-century Renaissance church with a travertine facade welcoming in the sunlight and exquisite decorations inside.

    Just a short drive away awaits a delicious Tuscan lunch. Enjoy a 3-course meal with wine pairings in the wine cellar of an authentic vineyard farmhouse, including the famous Brunello di Montalcino and varieties from the vineyard itself. 

    Buy your souvenir Tuscan wine here, or wait for the final stop: Pienza. Your tour leader will offer insights, but your time is yours: shopping for pecorino cheese, balsamic vinegar, wines, and other local specialties, finding the right photo opportunity, or simply wandering the streets like a local.

    Next, return to Rome in air-conditioned comfort — fulfilled, relaxed, and ready for the next day.

    We had a beautiful day in Tuscany! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun. I enjoyed learning about the history of the area. The winery stop included lunch with several courses paired with different wines. Delicious! I would highly recommend this tour!

    This tour was one of the best experiences of my life. First off our guide Luca was incredible, always had a smile on his face and was excited about everything he talked about. The amount that we received for the price was incredible (wine, full lunch, tours, transport and more) we even got to make a comfort stop along the way where we could buy authentic chocolates, olive oil and wine. The winery we went too was absolutely fantastic. The two women in charge, Cecelia and Angela, have us a complete tour of the facility and gave details about everything we got to eat. We even got the opportunity to taste a special dessert wine where only 800 bottles were made. It was the best homeade Italian meal I have ever had in my life. Plus they were accommodating as someone who has a sensitivity to red sauce I was given a beautifully made Caccio E Peppe. Over fantastic experience with amazing views. WOULD 100% RECOMMEND!
