Arrive at your hotel in Monteriggioni, a charming medieval village set in the heart of the Tuscan countryside just a few kilometers from Siena. After check-in, enjoy a welcome drink and some time to unwind, taking in the rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves that define this iconic region. In the evening, savor a welcome dinner at a traditional restaurant in Siena or nearby Monteriggioni, where you can taste authentic Tuscan dishes paired with local wines. Overnight at your hotel in Monteriggioni.
After breakfast, we recommend starting your day with an excursion into the famous Chianti region, known worldwide for its vineyards, cypress-lined roads, and hilltop villages. Stop at one of the most renowned Chianti Classico wineries for a guided visit of the cellars and a tasting of their signature wines. In the afternoon, head to Siena to explore its UNESCO-listed historic center. Wander through narrow medieval streets, admire the magnificent Piazza del Campo—home of the Palio horse race—and take in the city’s Gothic architecture and vibrant atmosphere. Enjoy dinner on your own at a local trattoria before returning to your hotel in Monteriggioni for the night.
Begin your day with breakfast, then immerse yourself in Tuscan cuisine with a hands-on cooking class in a local villa. Under the guidance of an expert cook, you’ll prepare a complete Tuscan menu using fresh regional ingredients, then sit down to enjoy your creations for lunch, perfectly paired with local wines. In the afternoon, we suggest visiting San Gimignano, a splendid medieval town renowned for its skyline of ancient towers, well-preserved walls, and cobbled streets. Explore the historic center, browse artisan shops, and enjoy gelato or a glass of Vernaccia di San Gimignano while taking in the views. Return to Monteriggioni in the evening; dinner is on your own and you’ll spend the night at your hotel.
After breakfast, check out and drive through the iconic Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape of rolling hills, vineyards, and cypress trees, to reach Montalcino—home of the world-famous Brunello di Montalcino wine. Enjoy a guided visit and tasting in a historic Brunello cellar, learning about the production and characteristics of this prestigious red wine. Afterwards, we suggest exploring Montalcino’s historic center and fortress, then continuing to the nearby Sant’Antimo Abbey, a peaceful Romanesque church set amid olive groves and vineyards. Your journey through Tuscany concludes here, with the end of our services.
