Leave Siena and travel through the rolling hills of southern Tuscany on a full-day small-group wine tour across the heart of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The route offers continually changing panoramas of cypress-lined horizons, patchwork fields and medieval hill towns.
Your first stop is the historic hill town of Montepulciano, where food and wine come together in an authentic Tuscan experience. Enjoy a traditional lunch prepared with local ingredients: a selection of typical Tuscan cured meats and cheeses followed by homemade Pici pasta served with slow-cooked ragù, with a vegetarian Pici alternative available on request. During the meal you will savour a guided tasting of Rosso di Montepulciano and the renowned Nobile di Montepulciano, paired to complement the regional dishes.
After lunch, continue to Pienza, a Renaissance gem celebrated for its refined architecture and sweeping views across the Val d'Orcia. Take free time to wander its picturesque streets, discover artisan shops and pause at panoramic viewpoints for photographs and quiet moments.
The final stop is Montalcino, famed worldwide for Brunello. Visit a local winery to learn about traditional vinification and ageing, and enjoy a guided tasting that highlights the character and history of this prestigious wine. The day concludes with a scenic drive back to Siena through some of Tuscany's most iconic countryside.
