Description

08:00am - Meet your local tour leader by Porta Romana, central Florence & travel for an hour and a half by private 8 seat mini-van through the beautiful Tuscan countryside enjoyed by generations on the movie screen. Our first destination is the charming hilltop town of Cortona, famous for its olive groves and immortalized by Diane Lane in Under the Tuscan Sun. Explore the narrow streets, artisan stores, and landmarks featured in Frances Mayes' beloved novel. Who knows, you might even start your own Italian love story! Next, we travel just 40 minutes from Cortona to a picturesque local farm nestled in the heart of Tuscany. Here, Cinta Senese pigs roam semi-wild, thriving on natural feed. Stroll among olive trees and vineyards before savoring the farm's exceptional products in a tasting board we have organised for you —cured meats and bruschetta made from garden-fresh ingredients, paired with their own wine. This unforgettable experience will leave lasting memories. We then head to the famous MONTEPULCIANO , where vampires converge in Twilight Saga: New Moon. This beautiful walled town is also home to the renowned Montepulciano DOCG wine. Your guide will provide local insights, information about specific film scenes, and other attractions, allowing you free time to explore the town at your leisure. Also enjoy a complimentary tasting of local wines and products in a 14th-century underground cellar as a bonus stop. After exploring Montepulciano, unwind in our comfortable van as we journey through the breathtaking Val d'Orcia. Marvel at the stunning landscapes, rolling hills, and iconic cypress trees. With ample time to relax, you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of this enchanting region. Our last stop is the medieval town of Siena, the backdrop for movies like Letters to Juliet and Stealing Beauty. Prepare to be amazed by Siena's charm, with its narrow streets, local artisans, and medieval squares glowing in the setting sun. We will have then 1 hour ride and we will finally head back to Florence for approximately 8:00pm.
