Pienza and Montepulciano Tour

Explore the Renaissance charm of Pienza, indulge in organic farm-to-table dining and savor the architectural beauty and renowned wines of Montepulciano

Meet your guide at 9:30 a.m. in front of the Church of San Domenico in Siena, an easy meeting point even for those arriving by car, with parking available nearby. From here, travel south along one of Tuscany’s most scenic roads, crossing the striking clay landscapes of the Crete Senesi. Enjoy short photo stops along the way before visiting a charming, non-touristy medieval hamlet.

Continue through this breathtaking countryside to the UNESCO-listed Val d’Orcia, home to some of Tuscany’s most iconic postcard views. Your next stop is Pienza, the harmonious Renaissance town commissioned by Pope Pius II and designed by leading architects of the time as an ideal city. Spend free time exploring the Renaissance Cathedral, the Romanesque Church of Corsignano, and the panoramic walkways overlooking the surrounding valleys. Wander through the picturesque streets and browse local artisan shops.

Lunch is hosted at a local farm, featuring fresh, seasonal products mostly produced on site. Learn about pecorino cheese making, meet the farm animals, and discover rural Tuscan life. Weather permitting, enjoy lunch on a panoramic terrace.

In the afternoon, visit Montepulciano, one of Tuscany’s most impressive hill towns. Explore Piazza Grande, admire Siena and Florence’s architectural influences, visit an underground winery, and taste the renowned Vino Nobile. After a guided walk, enjoy free time or an optional cellar tour.
