Highlights
-
Chianciano Terme - Embark on a journey through Chianciano to savor the EVO Oil and discover the “streap” method! The term EVO stands for Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is produced from olives that have never made contact with the ground, are unprocessed, and are exclusively cold-pressed using mechanical means without any chemical additives. The olives are crushed at the mill, and that’s the sole process for extracting the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
EVO Oil Sampling at an Authentic Oil Estate. - Montepulciano - Enjoy some leisure time for retail therapy and an independent exploration of the aromatic Medieval hamlet! Montepulciano is a historic town perched on a hill in Southern Tuscany. It’s a hub for gastronomy and beverages. Famous for its pork, cheese, “pici” pasta, lentils, and honey, it’s globally recognized for its wine. Wine aficionados regard its Vino Nobile as one of Italy’s finest, which should not be mistaken for wines simply made from the Montepulciano grape.
- Montepulciano - A visit to a winery, complete with a Wine Tasting and guided tour amidst the rural landscape.
- Historic Centre of the City of Pienza - Pienza is a quaint town that underwent a transformation into a Renaissance city in the 15th century. A self-directed stroll through its streets reveals numerous significant landmarks, each bearing a piece of the town’s heritage. The town is also celebrated for its wine, culinary delights, and cultural offerings. Pienza is particularly renowned for its pecorino cheese, which is aged in various ways to augment its taste.
- Pienza - Cheese Sampling in Pienza: Say “cheese” and flash a grin for the camera! You’ll beam with joy in Southern Tuscany alongside Giuseppe and his flock of sheep!

Most beautiful tour in Tuscany! - This was by far the best tour experience of my life. Everything was exceptional. Giovanni was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about Italy’s history. He was very friendly and gave us the best hospitality. The olive oil farm, pecorino farm and winery were all incredible! The hosts were welcoming and passionate about what they do. We were even able to ship goods back to the US at an affordable cost. We were able to spend some time in the town of Montepulciano and it was the most beautiful place we’ve ever seen. I highly recommend this tour if you want the best experience in Tuscany. It’s well worth it and you don’t want to miss it! We hope to book more tours with Giovanni in the future.
