To get today off to a flying start, we’ll be visiting the stunning hilltop town of Montepulciano. Once we arrive, you’ll be greeted with a coffee and given an overview of the beautiful region. If the idea of an authentic wine tasting session appeals to you, you’ll be pleased to hear that at 12:30pm, we’ll be heading underground into an authentic wine cellar, where you’ll also have lunch. Montepulciano is famous for its luxurious olive oil, so we’ll make a stop to allow you to savour the subtle tones produced by some of the world’s most popular oil makers. At 5pm, we’ll head back to your accommodation where you can spend an hour or two relaxing by the pool, taking a walk around the local area, or catching up with your family online. For dinner, you’ll feel truly submersed in the Tuscan lifestyle; we intend to visit a traditional pizzeria.

The next town on our tour is Siena. We’ll head there bright and early to allow you to take in the stunning sights as we travel. You’ll then get to enjoy a walking tour of the town, much of which dates back centuries. In your free time, you can shop, engage with the locals, catch a quick bite to eat for lunch, or relax near one of the local landmarks. There are plenty of attractions in the town to enjoy and you’ll have several hours to do so. We plan on heading back to your accommodation at 3:30pm to allow you to unwind and enjoy a little leisure time. Many of our guests take this opportunity to capture memories with their camera in the nearby scenery. At 7pm, we’ll head into Cortona for a stylish dinner, complete with locally produced wine to further immerse you in the Tuscan way of life.

If you’re looking for an ideal gift for a loved one, the traditional and instantly recognisable bottles of Chianti wine may well be the way to go. We’ll be heading to this traditional town early in the morning. We’ll make a stop at Castellina for coffee where you’ll be able to get your bearings and look forward to the day ahead. You will be enjoying lunch at the Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzan – a traditional eatery that specialises in a variety of Italian dishes and more.To tingle your taste buds, we’ll then take you to a wine tasting session in Chianti, where you’ll get to savour the unique flavours and talk to the makers about their processes. You’ll be able to purchase your dinner locally, too.

As your trip slowly comes to an end, we allocate this time for you to choose the types of activities that you’d like to partake in – from exploring the nearby area, to relaxing by the pool. Whatever you choose to do, we’ll ensure that you’re back in time for a traditional Italian Aperitivo, followed by a farewell dinner to mark your visit.

In the morning, we’ll take you back to the local station where you can commence your return journey with plenty of Tuscan memories to savour for a lifetime.
