From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch
Description
Depart from Rome in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus in the early morning, enjoying scenic views of the Italian countryside. Upon arrival in Montepulciano, explore its historic center, charming streets, and beautiful piazzas – including locations featured in the “Twilight” movie saga and other cinematic works- in the company of a certified tour leader. Please note that the walking path has a slight incline. Visit a local 12th-century winery for a guided wine tasting, sampling the region’s finest wines and learning about the winemaking process. Enjoy a delicious Tuscan gourmet lunch paired with wines explained by a sommelier. This is the only wine cellar with kitchen in Montepulciano. After lunch, head to Montalcino, a perfectly preserved medieval town with a massive fortress. Start in the former convent of Sant’Agostino, now housing the Temple of Brunello interactive museum. Travel through local culture and discover the production of the world-renowned Brunello di Montalcino wine.

A fabulous day in the Tuscan countryside. Fantastic tour guide and amazing food and wine. I would highly recommend this day trip.
This summer, my family and I had the pleasure of visiting these beautiful places with Giovanni - an extremely well-travelled and knowledgeable guide who makes you assimilate into the place and gives you the best experience you could possibly want. This was definitely the most memorable segment of my trip - he has this charm to him and brings together people like no one else. The wine tasting, lunch, shopping and the extremely welcoming crowd is the cherry on top. If you want the true Italian experience, do take this trip, it opens you up to Italy like no other place can.
I loved the walk, Giovanni is fantastic. Interact with everyone, very attentive and polite. Very good. The experience was unforgettable. Knowing the golden hills and medieval villages, with wine tasting and a spectacular lunch at the vineyard, was the best part of the trip. The organization was excellent and the treatment, VIP. I highly recommend.
I recommend, quiet walk, quiet towns, good to walk and meet on foot.
