Full Description

Enjoy a full-day tour of Tuscany villages and wine regions from Siena and travel into the heart of the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Visit the town of San Gimignano, the wine territory of Chianti and the Montalcino fortress.

The first part of our day will be dedicated to the territory of Siena and starts with a visit of San Gimignano, the city of a hundred towers and it is also a UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage site. Our tour escort will give you all of the necessary information for enjoying your free time in the town’s historical centre, where you will find local artisan shops and millenarian palazzos. San Gimignano is also the birthplace of Vernaccia, a white wine produced exclusively here, famous for its high quality and also for being the first Italian DOCG wine. After a brief visit we will relax at a Chianti winery for an optional lunch of salami, cheeses and other local products, accompanied by a tasting of Chianti wines. Our day continues with a trip to Val d’Orcia, another jewel in the Tuscan territory and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. We will travel to Montalcino, which from its hill dominates the 1500 hectares of Brunello vineyards that have contributed making the area world-famous. Our last stop will be in a local wine cellar where we will taste the renowned Brunello of Montalcino, which finds its place among the first Italian DOCG wines. We will visit the wine cellar and also taste typical local products.

    This was an excellent day. We saw things we would not have seen on our own. Vincenzo, our guide, was wonderful. Very informative, reliable, and hilarious. We really enjoyed it!

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this tour company. They are highly organized and efficient. The driver Vincenzo was a treat! So knowledgeable and kind and informative and funny! The small van size made for a very intimate experience. We left Siena and went to San Gimignano, Buonconvento (an unscheduled stop we had plenty of time for), two wineries (Poggio ai Laghi and Piombaia - both exceptional for reasons), and Montalcino. Just a fabulous experience! Would highly recommend this tour company!
