If you want to see Tuscany without having to navigate all those winding country roads (and maybe enjoy a glass or two of that famous wine), this is the day trip for you. We'll whisk you out of Rome and show you the best of Tuscany including a scenic lunch in Val d'Orcia, a vineyard, two beautiful hilltowns and a historic fortress.
Tuscany is one of the true gems of Italy. From mouth-watering cuisine and world-class wine to a deep and fascinating history; this region is one of the country's most popular among tourists and locals alike. On this tour, you'll board a small, comfortable air-conditioned bus in Rome (no tourist buses for us, your vehicle seats a maximum of 18 guests).
Travelling with one of our fun, engaging tour leaders, you'll head into the Tuscan countryside for a cultural and culinary adventure. As you drive, they'll give you some background about the region; from the destruction wrought in WWII to the incredible produce that grows here (wine and cheese in particular).
Your first stop is at Monticchiello, a stunning little hillside town that makes for a once-in-a-lifetime photo.
From there, it's a short drive to your next stop: Pienza. Your expert tour guide will lead you on an introductory stroll of the town, which is famous for its Pecorino cheese (and yes, you'll get to try some for yourself!).
Next, sit back and relax on a scenic drive to Montepulciano, home to your next stop: a stunning family-run winery complete with lush vineyards and a historic cellar you have to see to believe. Enjoy a guided visit of both and sit down to a homemade lunch with wine pairings for an only-in-Tuscany experience you won't soon forget. After lunch, you'll have some free time to explore the charming streets of Montepulciano at your own pace.
Before returning to Rome, you'll make one additional stop at the historic San Biagio church just outside Montepulciano. Marvel at the breathtaking Italian Renaissance architecture as your guide points out all the fascinating details that are easy to miss without an expert eye.
Tuscany has a lot of cultures to experience, but this is as close as you can get to distilling its essence into a single day. We'll take you to the best spots where you'll meet the people behind the region's most famous exports and learn what makes them so special. Travelling with a local tour leader throughout the day, you'll get all the inside knowledge with none of the hassle so that all you'll have to worry about is which wine you're bringing home (don't worry, they ship internationally!)
