What to expect

Escape the Roman bustle for a full-day immersion in the timeless beauty of Tuscany. Your journey takes you into the heart of the Val d'Orcia, where golden rolling hills and endless vineyards define the landscape. Travel in comfort aboard a premium GT coach as the urban scenery gives way to the serene charm of the Italian countryside.

Your first destination is Montepulciano, a Renaissance treasure celebrated for its prestigious Vino Nobile. After exploring the town's enchanting streets, you will descend into the extraordinary Cantina Talosa. This historic cellar, carved directly into 16th-century tuff rock, offers an evocative underground experience. Amidst ancient brick vaults, you will enjoy a curated tasting of 3–4 regional wines, including the renowned Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, providing a deep connection to local winemaking heritage.

Next, journey to Pienza, the "Ideal City" of the Renaissance and a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through its harmonious alleys, take in sweeping panoramic views over the Val d'Orcia, and enjoy leisure time to absorb the atmosphere of this architectural masterpiece. Pienza is also famous for its culinary tradition, so you will indulge in a tasting of its signature Pecorino cheese, prized for a refined and distinctive character.

Following a day filled with art, history, fine wine, and breathtaking vistas, relax on your comfortable return trip to Rome, carrying the true essence of Tuscany home with you.
