Tuscany tempts its visitors not only with its picturesque countryside and unforgettable vistas but also with its distinctive flavors that are famous worldwide.

On this Tuscany tour from Rome, relish the opportunity to admire the stunning beauty of the Valley of Orcia, and the splendid Renaissance and Medieval towns of Pienza and Montepulciano. 

Delight your palette and excite your taste buds with Italy’s finest Pecorino of Pienza and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano for a spectacular enogastronomic journey through Tuscany.

Once you are picked up by your personal Rome Chauffeur at your hotel or accommodation, you will enjoy a leisurely drive from Rome to southern Tuscany’s picture-perfect Valley of Orcia as you make your way to Montepulciano.

Montepulciano is one of Italy’s splendid towns that boast both Medieval and Renaissance charm, style, and architecture.

Although Montepulciano is locally known as an important producer of local Tuscan food products, wine connoisseurs worldwide know it as the producer of the excellent red Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (Noble Wine of Montepulciano). Praised for centuries among Italy’s nobility as one of Italy’s finest wines, Montepulciano also earned the title “King of All Wines” in 1685 by poet Francesco Redi.

You will have free time on your own to enjoy a traditional Italian lunch at a local trattoria (your driver can offer suggestions), and sample wine varieties at any of the wine shops throughout the town.

This Tuscany tour offers you the excellent opportunity to explore the beautiful town, sample its delicious local wines and even buy some to take with you and enjoy later!

You have the choice to enjoy lunch at a ristorante or trattoria either in Montepulciano or in Pienza. Both towns boast excellent local Tuscan dishes enjoyed by travelers and locals alike.

From Montepulciano, you will continue your Tuscany tour with a scenic drive to Pienza.

This charming town is the perfect example of Renaissance urbanism initiated in the 1400s by Pope Pius II who was born in the same town that was previously called Corsignano. Used as a retreat from bustling Rome, Pienza set the standard for the humanist urban planning concept, a form of Utopia that became popular throughout Europe.

You will see for yourself why Pienza is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its breathtaking valley is listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Landscape.

Pienza’s claim to fame comes also in form of its delicious locally-produced cheese famously known worldwide as “Pecorino of Pienza”. You will discover in local shops throughout the town wheels upon wheels of various sizes and flavors this delicious cheese made from the milk of sheep that happily graze in the surrounding valleys.

From Pienza, will enjoy a leisurely drive through the picturesque countryside as you make your way through Tuscany back to Rome to your hotel or accommodation.   We appreciate your interest in our Pienza and  Montepulciano Tuscany Tour from Rome, and for choosing Rome Chauffeur for your private Tuscany tours from Rome.
