Highlights
  • Montepulciano - Montepulciano, famous for the wine to which it gives its name, stands on a hill 600 meters above sea level: from this height it is easy to get lost with your gaze among the green Tuscan hills, olive groves and vineyards and cypresses that pleasantly mark the whole landscape. From the tower of the Renaissance palace of Montepulciano the gaze reaches the Sibillini Mountains and Cimone and when the air is particularly clear even the Gran Sasso d’italia in Abruzzo.
  • Pienza - Pienza, the city of Pio. Obtained the recognition of a Unesco site in 1996, it still communicates to the world the urban canons of the Renaissance for the rational organization of spaces and perspectives of sixteenth-century squares and palaces.
  • Val d’Orcia - The magnificent landscape of the Val d’orcia, among the Tuscan hills, was included in the Unesco Heritage List in 2004. The Val d’orcia, a combination of art and landscape, geographical space and ecosystem, is the expression of wonderful natural features but is also the result and testimony of the people who lived there.
  • Montalcino - To the south of Siena is a charming medieval village, almost fairytale, surrounded by a mighty wall and dominated by an ancient castle of authentic architectural perfection. Montalcino, west of Pienza, is a beautiful historic city immersed in the beautiful landscape of the Val’orcia Natural Park and renowned throughout the world for the extraordinary production of the precious Brunello di Montalcino.

The village has remained almost intact since the third century. Once you reach the top on which Montalcino stands, a real spectacle opens before your eyes: a continuous succession of winding hills dotted here and there with yellow and red flowers, ancient oaks, picturesque olive trees, scenic country roads that snake through harmonious vineyards and isolated cypresses here and there.

Elena our driver was friendly, informative, and took us to all the great spots on time. - Lunch at the farm/ winery was very special. This family owned establishment was an authentic experience. Each town was beautiful and glad we could see 3 towns in Tuscany and make it to and from Florence in a day!

Beautiful scenery and delicious food! - Elena was a wonderful host for the entire day. The winery where we had lunch was the best food of our entire two weeks in Italy. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The two towns we visited were beautiful and not overly crowded. We had a fabulous day.

Best of the Best - I would like to share about our trip to Tuscany yesterday. Our guide Paolo, provided an incredible experience. We felt as though he was a family member showing us local sights. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and just a wonderful person to be with. There wasn't a moment when we weren't in awe of the beautiful sights and he took the time to stop at each and give us a lesson on the history and to provide wonderful photo opportunities. The wine tasting and lunch was no less than magnificent. Again, we felt like family while we were served wonderful wines and a 3-course meal. We are still talking about the fine details of the the experience. Where else can you drink exceptional wines, enjoy the Tuscany views, and be handed a 3-star Michelin experience? This day will be forever in our memory. Con molta gratitudine, Jim & Libby

Do NOT recommend - Completely shocking I paid nearly $2,000 for a wine tour, which I thought would be a pre-arranged tour of notable wineries of Tuscany. I tried to confirm serval times this is what I had booked to which I received a vague answer. Instead I got : - an argumentative and generally unfriendly tour guide - a visit to a cheese factory, serving $5 per bottle wine which incurred a tasting fee of $40 (this wasn’t apparently included in the overall cost) - a walk around various small villages in Tuscany in the pouring rain, which included a visit to the hosts favourite cheese shop
