Day 2: Vernaccia of San Gimignano
Next on our Tuscany itinerary is a white wine day, dedicated to La Vernaccia Tuscan wine region.
In the morning, we will drive around the countryside of San Gimignano and Castelvecchio National Park and, along the way, we will have an opportunity to sample stunning wines and delicious food at two of the great wineries that are run by local families, stopping to see the stunning vineyard at each.
Vernaccia di San Gimignano stands out among the top wines of Tuscany. Vernaccia-based wine from San Gimignano has a long-established history as the noblest wine in Italy. Its fame is undoubtedly connected to its region of origin, San Gimignano - an ancient Tuscan town that is famed for its medieval towers.
In the afternoon, we will progress our wine tours to the beautiful village of San Gimignano, where you can have some free time to explore this stunning Tuscan town.
San Gimignano is famous for its fascinating medieval architecture and lofty towers from which visitors can enjoy impressive views of the city and surrounding valley.
We will end the second day of the guided tour at a local Tuscan trattoria back to the accommodation.
Day 3: Brunello wine & Nobile wine
Next on our wine tasting tour, we will visit Montalcino, which is renowned for Brunello di Montalcino, a red Italian wine that is widely regarded as one of the top three red wines in the world.
You'll have an opportunity to learn more about this wine with a visit to one of the region's most prestigious wineries and cellars where we will stop for a lunch.
Later, we will visit Montepulciano, a famous medieval village sitting in the rolling hills that is replete with Tuscan history and renowned for its cultural summer festival and fairs.
Our wine tour in Tuscany will continue with a visit to the city walls, where you'll have an opportunity to watch skilled tradespeople at work using traditional manufacturing techniques to shape copper in their artisan shops.
Afterward, your tour manager will return you to Florence.
