SIENA, PIENZA AND MONTEPULCIANO
A whole day to be spent in Siena, Pienza and Montepulciano. The trip will start in the morning in the company of one of the authorised guides with whom you will have the opportunity to tour the marvellous medieval town of Siena and experience the enchantment of the architectural styles of the Cathedral and Palazzo Comunale (Municipal Building) in Piazza del Campo, the stage of the famous Palio horse race.
In the afternoon one of our brilliant and expert tour leaders will accompany you to Pienza and Montepulciano, the artistic and scenic jewels of Val d'Orcia. Built according to the will of the Pope from whom it takes its name, Pope Pius II, Pienza is a singular example of architectural beauty, harmony and perfection.
The many little alleyways with their suggestive names mostly overlook breathtaking scenery. The squares and historical buildings preserve the secrets of the art of Rossellino and traces of the noble papal power. This artistic and natural heritage is joined by taste and fragrance. In fact a Pienza tradition is that of the typical Pecorino (sheep's milk cheese). Pienza is the real cheese (pecorino) town in Tuscany
You will continue the tour going to Montepulciano, a town built along a narrow ridge of limestone, surrounded by an imposing city wall. The stateliness of the renaissance buildings and the elegant beauty of its churches intertwine with the ancient winemaking tradition of "Nobile di Montepulciano", the town's winemaking symbol and the delight of your palate to taste. Montepulciano is one of the more important wine town in Italy.
