Depart from Rome in an air-conditioned coach as your English-speaking guide shares the rich history of the pre-Roman civilization on the drive through Tuscany. The first stop is the hilltop town of Montepulciano for a walking tour. You'll discover narrow streets, theatrical clock towers, and ancient wine cellars in this car-free town.
Explore St. Biagio's Church, a stunning blend of Renaissance architecture and Tuscan landscape. Its Greek cross design inspired Bramante and Michelangelo's original plans for St. Peter's Basilica.
After building an appetite, enjoy a traditional three-course lunch with your group amid vineyards, paired with local wines including the famous Brunello di Montalcino.
Buy signature wine here or wait for Pienza, a UNESCO village redesigned by Pope Pius in the 15th century and a model for Renaissance towns. Enjoy time to explore, shop, take photos, and savor gelato!
