What to expect

Travel through the hilly expanses of the old vineyards and olive groves, which characterize the splendid Chianti territory until you reach Castellina. This characteristic ancient hamlet is perched on a hill, where you will visit a historical cellar. Just outside the village, you will be guided through a tasting of different wines of the Chianti area, extra virgin olive oil on Tuscan bread, vin santo with 'cantuccini' and locally produced lavender honey. Then proceed along a panoramic road to the village of Monteriggioni, a small medieval jewel still surrounded by its ancient walls. Further, see the unmistakable clay landscape of the Crete Senesi.

Continuing, reach Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage location along the famous 'Via Francigena' route with picturesque landscapes of hills dotted with cypresses, castles and churches. Here, in a historic farm, you will enjoy a guided lunch-tasting of the renowned Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello and Supertuscan wines with a selection of typical products of the territory and a delicious homemade fruit pie.

After a stop in the medieval village of Montalcino, journey to Montepulciano, renowned for its Noble wine obtained from the surrounding vineyards.
