Itinerary and highlights

Your private chauffeur will meet you directly at your hotel in central Rome. Step aboard a luxury Mercedes minivan equipped with air conditioning, and bottled water. Relax as you leave the city and begin your scenic drive through Lazio and into the rolling hills of Tuscany.

Enjoy a comfortable journey through postcard-perfect landscapes — vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages perched on hilltops. Along the way, your driver will share local insights about Tuscany’s history, wines, and traditions.

Arrive at a historic castle and wine estate surrounded by vineyards. Here, the castle’s staff will guide you on a tour of the cellars and vineyards, sharing stories about the centuries-old winemaking tradition of Montalcino.
Then, sit down for a light lunch of three Tuscan courses — antipasto, handmade pasta, and dessert — paired with a tasting of three premium wines:

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Rosso di Montalcino DOC

IGT Sangiovese
This experience blends elegance, flavor, and authenticity in the heart of Tuscany.

After lunch, enjoy two hours of free time in the medieval town of Montalcino, famous for its fortress and panoramic views over the Val d’Orcia. Explore wine boutiques, artisan shops, and charming cafés — or simply relax and soak in the Tuscan atmosphere.

Reboard your private Mercedes vehicle and sit back for a smooth, comfortable journey back to Rome. Reflect on a day filled with authentic flavors, history, and breathtaking scenery as your driver drops you off at your hotel.
