Following this enlightening tour, indulge in a delightful tasting session, featuring an array of flavoursome wines, including the distinguished Noble wine of Montepulciano.

The wine tasting will be complemented by a selection of local delicacies, such as cold cuts, hams, cheeses, specialty olives, bruschetta, and the quintessential sweet wine "Vin Santo" paired with the famous "cantucci" biscuits.

After the visit, take a leisurely stroll through the narrow ancient streets of Montepulciano, a walled town perched atop one of Tuscany's highest pearls at an elevation of 605 metres above sea level. Discover the town's wealth of art treasures and explore ancient Etruscan and Roman wine cellars, some of which predate the Christian era. During your lunch break, savour a delectable meal at a distinguished local restaurant known for its authentic Tuscan cuisine (not included).

Siena, a mesmerising medieval city, beckons with its well-preserved charm.
