Itinerary and highlights

This private self-guided tour can be customised to suit your preferences, but recommended stops include Montalcino and Pienza Towns and the Val d’Orcia area. Your driver will be on-hand to offer guidance and recommendations, but will not accompany you once you walking reach the centre towns.

Montalcino is a hill town that is most famous for its unique Brunello di Montalcino wine.
Wine Tasting included.

Pienza is a small town that was rebuilt in the 15th century as a Renaissance town. Walking through the streets, several important sites can be spotted, and each of them carries a portion of the town’s history. It is also for the wine production, food, and culture. In particular, Pienza is famous for its pecorino cheese, that is matured in several different ways in order to enhance its flavor. Cheese Tasting in Pienza countryside included.

The beautiful and untouched landscape is the absolute protagonist in Valdorcia.
This area of Tuscany boasts of endless rolling hills covered with grain or sunflowers, a rich green valley with vineyards. It is no wonder that this territory is protected as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
