Cortona and Montepulciano Sightseeing with Wine Tasting
Your professional driver-escort will pick you up from your hotel or another chosen location, such as a B&B or private flat, and take you to discover the Tuscan countryside. Stop in Cortona and explore the town for 1.5 hours. Cortona is a traditional walled Etruscan town, sitting about 600 metres above sea level, and it offers spectacular views over the surrounding valley and Lake Trasimeno. The main things to seek out in the town centre are Piazza della Repubblica, Cortona's historic centre, its pretty medieval streets, Piazza Signorelli, and Cortona's beautiful shops. Later, drive on to Montepulciano to visit the "Underground Wonders" of the town. Explore the town's main square, the old Government Palace, and two historic cellars. Here, you will find gigantic oak barrels in which the famous Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Rosso di Montepulciano DOC rest. In Montepulciano, enjoy two wine-tasting experiences in two different cellars, with lunch included.
