Activity itinerary

Porta Romana

1h 30m

Meet your local tour leader by Porta Romana, central Florence at 07:45am ready to leave by 8:00am. Travel for an hour and a half on board of a private 8 seat mini-van through the beautiful Tuscan countryside enjoyed by generations on the film screen while listening to stories and info about the area from your tour leader.

Cortona

Our first destination is the charming hilltop town of Cortona, famous for its olive groves and immortalised by Diane Lane in Under the Tuscan Sun. Explore independently the town with its narrow streets, artisan stores, and landmarks featured in Frances Mayes' beloved novel. Who knows, you might even start your own Italian love storey!

Montepulciano

1h 30m

Next, we travel just 40 minutes from Cortona to a picturesque local farm nestled in the heart of Tuscany. Here, Cinta Senese pigs roam semi-wild, thriving on natural feed. Stroll among olive trees and vineyards before savouring the farm's exceptional products in a tasting board we have organised for you —cured meats and bruschetta made from garden-fresh ingredients, paired with their own wine. This unforgettable experience will leave lasting memories.

Piazza Grande a Montepulciano

We then head to the famous MONTEPULCIANO , where vampires converge in Twilight Saga: New Moon. This beautiful walled town is also home to the renowned Montepulciano DOCG wine. Your tour leader will provide during the journey local insights, information about specific film scenes, and other attractions of Montepulciano, allowing you free time to explore the town at your leisure. Located near the entrance of the village is a 14th-century underground cellar where you will be able to enjoy a complimentary tasting of local wines and products they offer to the guests.

Val d'Orcia

1h 30m

After exploring Montepulciano, unwind in our comfortable van as we journey through the breathtaking Val d'Orcia. Marvel at the stunning landscapes, rolling hills, and iconic cypress trees. With ample time to relax, you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of this enchanting region.

Piazza del Campo

1h 50m

Our last stop is the Medieval town of Siena, the backdrop for films like Letters to Juliet and Stealing Beauty. Prepare to be amazed by Siena's charm, with its narrow streets, local artisans, and medieval squares glowing in the setting sun. Your tour leader will escort you from the parking spot to the main piazza passing by the centre. From there you will have 1hour approx free time to wander around.
