# From Rome: Tuscany, Montepulciano Tour with Wine Tasting & Lunch

**Guidekin's take:** Montepulciano with a difference: a medieval winery with an Etruscan tomb beneath it, a sommelier led tasting of Nobile di Montepulciano and Rosso di Montalcino, and lunch in the friars' old refectory, rated 4.92 across 139 reviews. Bus, lunch, tasting and headsets are included at €108 per person. The walk uphill through town rules out limited mobility.

In our comparison: #9 of 75 in Day Trips from Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Depart from Rome in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus in the early morning, enjoying scenic views of the Italian countryside.

Upon arrival in Montepulciano, explore its historic center, charming streets, and beautiful piazzas – including locations featured in the “Twilight” movie saga and other cinematic works- in the company of a certified tour leader.
Please note that the walking path has a slight incline.

Visit a local 12th-century winery for a guided wine tasting, sampling the region’s finest wines and learning about the winemaking process. Enjoy a delicious Tuscan gourmet lunch paired with wines explained by a sommelier. This is the only wine cellar with kitchen in Montepulciano.

After lunch, head to Montalcino, a perfectly preserved medieval town with a massive fortress. Start in the former convent of Sant’Agostino, now housing the Temple of Brunello interactive museum. Travel through local culture and discover the production of the world-renowned Brunello di Montalcino wine.
