Montepulciano Trip Overview
The Montepulciano tour will allow you to discover one of the most fascinating towns of the area, the so-called “Renaissance pearl” sheltered inside Medieval city walls. During our tour, we will climb through the town, following the winding main street, thereby admiring Montepulciano’s wonderful palaces and churches along the way. We will learn about its traditions … for example:– did you know that once a year they have a barrel-pushing competition?
When we reach the summit of the town, we will find ourselves in the magical Piazza Grande, where we will be able to visit the never-finished Cathedral, the Fortress, and enjoy a wonderful view over the Val di Chiana and part of the Val d’Orcia.
Last but not least, our tour will take us underground to visit one of the ancient wineries of the town, and taste a glass of Nobile wine.
Optional: climbing the main tower in Piazza Grande in order to enjoy a 360-degree view over the two valleys surrounding the city (ticket not included).
