Montepulciano and Pienza Shore Excursion

Experience the finest flavors and beauty of Tuscany with our Montepulciano Wine and Pienza Shore Excursion, starting right from the port of Livorno or La Spezia, where your cruise ship arrives. A private English-speaking driver will pick you up and welcome you in a comfortable Mercedes Benz vehicle, ready to take you on an amazing journey through the Tuscan countryside.

You will enjoy a lovely morning in the picturesque village of Montepulciano where you will take in the beautiful medieval and Renaissance architecture and immerse yourself in the history and culture of the town, world-renowned for its wine production. As you wander through its streets, you will have the opportunity to stop by the numerous cozy boutiques and craft shops before indulging in a mouthwatering four-course lunch filled with regional specialties accompanied by a glass of local wine  (meals not included).

Your personal driver will then chauffeur you to the medieval town of Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Val d’Orcia region. The city was rebuilt according to the Renaissance concepts in the 15th century and will captivate you with its palaces, churches, and charming history. Pienza is also renowned for its pecorino, a sheep’s milk cheese aged in barrels. You cannot miss the chance to try it in one of the several shops scattered throughout the village.

After visiting Pienza, your Montepulciano Wine and Pienza Shore Excursion will come to a close. Your private driver will take you back to Livorno Port and you will say arrivederci after a wonderful day dedicated to the best of Tuscany’s wine, cuisine, and culture!
