Explore the Medieval Town of Montepulciano
Your first stop of the day is Montepulciano, a stunning hilltop town, famous for being car-free, which adds to its medieval allure. Here, you’ll meet a local guide who will take you on a walking tour through this medieval village. Follow your guide through charming narrow streets, impressive clock towers, and ancient wine cellars.

Wander Through UNESCO World Heritage Village of Pienza
After savoring your delicious lunch and wine tasting, you still have one more stop on your dreamy Tuscan tour. The majestic, hilltop town of Pienza is your final stop of the day. This stunning village was entirely redesigned by Pope Pius in the 15th century and stood as a model for the Renaissance towns in Europe. Today, the town is famous for its jaw-dropping views and delicious Pecorino cheese.
During your free time in Pienza, you can enjoy a gelato while strolling through this charming village, shop for local foods and wine, or just take in the incredible, panoramic scenery. No matter how you decide to spend your time, be sure to take plenty of photos of this picturesque village before making the drive back to the Eternal City.
