Vincento was a very good driver and informative about the area. He made extra stops but kept us on schedule. Wine tasting was VG. Hosts were very friendly. Towns of Pienza and Montepulciano were very enjoyable with 1& 2 hrs respectively, to tour towns on our own. I highly recommend this tour
Fancy a day among art, culture, wine and delicious food in fabled Tuscany? Spend a day in two wonderful towns where you'll have the opportunity to taste the best wines, cheeses and typical products. The tour begins with a visit to a wine cellar in the area of Val d'Orcia, where you'll taste a selection of wines paired with delicious snacks.
You will then visit Pienza and Montepulciano, two artistic jewels set against the backdrop of the spectacular Val d'Orcia. Montepulciano is a lovely town characterized by stately Renaissance buildings, beautifully refined churches, and an ancient winemaking tradition.
Pienza, instead, boasts a perfect balance of architectural beauty and sweeping vistas, and is home to a series of quaint, atypically named lanes that overlook the breathtaking Val d'Orcia landscape. The region's natural and artistic heritage is enhanced by mouthwatering aromas and flavors, most notably Pienza's prized Pecorino cheese, which is made following a centuries-old practice.
