Medieval Taste Lines: Vino Nobile and Pecorino Between Pienza and Montepulciano.
Embark on an intimate, full-day journey through two of Tuscany’s medieval jewels — Pienza and Montepulciano — sampling the region’s signature products: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the DOP Pecorino di Pienza, with a farm-to-table Tuscan lunch and visits to small, family-run producers.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Tasting
An afternoon stop in the Montepulciano area visits a boutique, family-run winery to taste Vino Nobile — the region’s Sangiovese-based DOCG red — and to learn how local families make and share their wines.
Pecorino di Pienza at an Organic Farm
Explore a working organic farm producing DOP Pecorino di Pienza: observe production methods and taste the cheese during a Tuscan lunch built around farm products.
Medieval Towns and Local Life
Walk the streets of Pienza — a UNESCO World Heritage site — and move through rural lanes to family estates, where visits are intended to be genuine cultural exchanges rather than quick commercial stops.
