After morning pickup at your Florence hotel, travel through the picturesque Tuscan countryside to the town of Montalcino, known for the production of Brunello di Montalcino wine. Taste this and other Brunello wines prized by collectors around the world during a private sit-down lunch with pairings at a farmhouse.
Continue on through the Val d’Orcia region, a pastoral landscape of rolling hills dotted with medieval villages that’s honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the hilltop town of Montepulciano, learning about its ancient Etruscan roots and importance as a 14th-century Sienese stronghold. The historic streets and squares are so well-preserved that the town has often been used as a filming location. Taste another sought-after Tuscan wine, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, at a hand-picked producer before soaking up more scenery on the drive back to Florence.
