Itinerary and highlights
The glittering golden mosaics that adorn the Cathedral facade, make this 14th-century Gothic cathedral one of the most stunning churches in Italy. The interior of the Duomo is decorated with frescoes painted by some of Italy’s most famous artists of that period, making it one of the must-see churches in Italy.
Wine lovers will be pleased to know Orvieto is famous for its excellent local white wines available for tasting and purchasing at wine shops throughout the town. Some of the most famous wines in this region are produced from a blend of mostly Grechetto and Trebbiano grapes and is known as Orvieto Classico. Also popular is the local Rosso Orivetano DCO, which is a blend of red wines.
A delightful Renaissance hilltop town, Montepulciano is surrounded by the enchanting Val di Chiana valley in the heart of Tuscany.
Well preserved with many distinguished 16th century palazzi (palaces), Montepulciano is an elegant Tuscan town that offers ample opportunities to admire its historic architecture and spacious square, shop at local artisan shops, and of course, wine lovers can enjoy a variety of wine tastings offered at wine shops owned by local wineries.
Connoisseurs (and aristocrats alike) have considered Montepulciano the “King of All Wines”, well recognized for its elegant full-bodied red Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (Noble wine of Montepulciano). Also not to be dismissed is its younger Rosso di Montepulciano (Montepulciano Red) that is not aged as long as its famous older brother.
