Montepulciano: Art, History… and Wine

Begin your private guided tour at the foot of the Montepulciano hill in front of the majestic San Biagio Church, which perches over the Pienza valley and nestles amidst the gentle Tuscan hills.

Stroll through the ancient center and winding medieval streets, and discover the many churches, palaces, and Etruscan remains that crowd the long ancient road from Porta al Prato to the Piazza Grande at the peak of the hill. Once on top, treat yourself to the stunning panoramic vistas of the Chiana Valley and Trasimeno Lake.

After, explore the artisanal ateliers of local coppersmiths, pottery artists, and mosaic masters, while listening to the fascinating stories and curiosities of the ancient trades. Finish your tour with a visit to the historical underground wine cellar of the famous Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, prized as one of Italy’s best D.O.C.G. wines.
