Join us as we traverse the undulating Tuscan countryside, taking in the splendor of wine, art, Medieval and Renaissance history, including a visit to Cortona and the mysterious wine cellars of Montepulciano. Delight your taste buds with the region’s finest wines and savor a traditional Tuscan lunch. In Val d’ Orcia, marvel at the unspoiled vistas which consist of ceaseless rolling hills adorned with cereals or sunflowers, and verdant valleys enriched by the Orcia river. Our journey starts in Southern Tuscany, where we will explore the location of the historic town of Cortona. We then head to Montepulciano’s ‘Subterranean Marvels’ (The Ancient Cellars of the city), home to vast oak barrels where the renowned Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG matures. In Montepulciano, we’ll not only indulge in Tuscan lunch, but also sample wines from two distinct cellars (a flavorful spread of Pecorino cheese, bruschettas, ham, and other cold cuts, each paired with the region’s top-rated wines await you).
