Your first stop in Tuscany is San Gimignano, a charming medieval hilltop town in the province of Siena, often referred to as the "Town of Fine Towers." Renowned for its stunning preservation, the town is home to around a dozen towers that rise gracefully against the backdrop of the Tuscan countryside, creating a remarkable medieval skyline that is truly unique. Encircled by well-preserved walls, San Gimignano offers a rare glimpse into the past, where both Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles are beautifully represented in its buildings. Here you’re free to explore this Tuscan hill town on your own with your guide making recommendations of landmarks to visit along the way. Wander through the town's historic streets and you'll encounter not only impressive secular structures but also magnificent churches. The Palazzo Comunale, the Collegiate Church, and the Church of Sant'Agostino house breathtaking frescoes, including remarkable cycles from the 14th and 15th centuries. These works of art, combined with the town's rich history and its timeless architecture, make San Gimignano a living testament to medieval Italy at its finest.

Take a private transfer to Tuscan Creamery. Stops for bathrooms/snacks will be made along the way as needed.

On a trip to Tuscany, culinary delights are not to be missed as the region abounds in amazing products, including pecorino cheese. From your hotel, you’ll take a transfer to the Val d'Orcia, to a local creamery to learn more about pecorino cheese. The origins of Tuscan pecorino go back to Etruscan times. Pecorino toscano DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) is made from two different types of whole sheep's milk, to which calf rennet is added. The mass is boiled until curdled into flakes the size of corn kernels of semi-solid to soft textures. It is then pressed and salted before the maturing phase begins which varies according to the type of cheese required. During your visit at a local creamery, you’ll learn more about all that goes into making authentic Pecorino cheese. Then, you’ll have the opportunity to taste at least three types of cheeses.

After a 15 minute transfer to Montepulciano, you’re free to explore this Tuscan hill town on your own with your guide making recommendations of landmarks to visit along the way. Reach the highest point of the town, in the middle of Piazza Grande, to soak up a 360-degree architectural panorama. On the west side of the square, the Palazzo Comunale was built in the late 1300s then revamped in 1424 by one of the Medici’s favourite architects, Michelozzo, in homage to Florence’s Palazzo Vecchio. Just outside the town gates, a stiff downhill walk from Piazza Grande, is Sangallo the Elder’s masterpiece, and one of the most photographed churches in Tuscany. Fronted entirely in travertine, San Biagio is designed on a perfect Greek cross pattern, and dedicated to St. Blaise, an Armenian doctor martyred in the 4th century. After exploring, you’ll have time at leisure for dinner before being transferred to your accommodation.

In the evening, meet your driver and bus and return to your accommodation.
