From Siena: Best of Tuscany Wines & Lunch in Montepulciano

Experience an unforgettable day leaving Siena behind as you journey through the rolling hills of southern Tuscany on a small-group wine tour in the heart of the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Travel through postcard-perfect landscapes to Montepulciano, a historic hill town where food and wine are central to local life. Enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch prepared with regional ingredients, beginning with a selection of cured meats and cheeses, followed by homemade Pici pasta with slow-cooked ragù or a vegetarian tomato sauce option, all served in a warm and authentic setting.

Discover the flavors of Tuscany further with a guided tasting of Rosso di Montepulciano and the celebrated Nobile di Montepulciano, expertly paired with your meal. Continue to Pienza, a Renaissance jewel known for its harmonious architecture and sweeping views across the Val d’Orcia, where free time allows you to explore charming streets and artisan shops. The day concludes in Montalcino with a visit to a local winery for a guided Brunello di Montalcino tasting, learning about traditional production and aging methods before a scenic drive back to Siena through Tuscany’s iconic countryside.
