Full-day tour of Val d'Orcia.

Escape the hustle and bustle of Florence and experience the heart of Tuscany by visiting the beautiful Val d'Orcia , a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll explore the charming towns of Montalcino , Pienza, and Montepulciano , taste the finest local wines, and sample the famous Pienza pecorino cheese.

The tour begins in Montalcino with a tasting of the world-renowned local wine: Brunello . You'll be captivated by the picturesque cellar, the large barrels, and the unmistakable aroma of wild must that characterizes these evocative surroundings.

You will then continue to the highest point of the city, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of rolling sunny hills, lush vineyards and country roads lined with cypress trees, a truly typical Tuscan scene.

The next stop will be Pienza , the 15th-century "ideal city" designed by Bernardo Rossellino on commission from Pope Pius II. Here you can admire important architectural gems such as the Duomo and Palazzo Piccolomini , the filming location for Zeffirelli's famous Romeo and Juliet, as well as one of the most beautiful and evocative panoramic views of the Val d'Orcia.

Finally, you'll reach Montepulciano , the birthplace of the prestigious Vino Nobile (and recently known for being the filming location for the movie New Moon). Here, you'll participate in a second tasting of wine and Pienza pecorino cheese. You'll also visit the fascinating cellars where the wine is stored beneath the ancient walls of the cellar. At the end of the tour, you'll return to Florence, filled with memories of an unforgettable day in the heart of Tuscany.
