Highlights
  • Montepulciano - Free time for shopping and self-guided visit in the Medieval scented village!
    Montepulciano is a medieval and Renaissance hill town in Southern Tuscany.
    It is a major producer of food and drink. Renowned for its pork, cheese, “pici” pasta, lentils, and honey, it is known world-wide for its wine. Connoisseurs consider its Vino Nobile, which should not be confused with varietal wine merely made from the Montepulciano grape, among Italy’s best.
  • Montepulciano - Winery visit, Wine Tasting guided tour in the countryside.
  • Historic Centre of the City of Pienza - Pienza is a small town that was rebuilt in the 15th century as a Renaissance town. Self-guided walking through the streets, several important sites can be spotted, and each of them carries a portion of the town’s history. It is also for the wine production, food, and culture. In particular, Pienza is famous for its pecorino cheese, that is matured in several different ways in order to enhance its flavor.
  • Pienza - Cheese Tasting in Pienza: When we say “cheese” we mean “Smile for a pics”!
    You will smile in Southern Tuscany with Giuseppe and his sheeps!
    Giuseppe’s farm and his dairy is a nostalgic reminiscence of an ancient job…sheep cheese production! Passionate your tastebuds in this travel around flavours!
    Cheese Tasting in Pienza countryside included.
