Montepulciano

Montepulciano is a medieval hilltop town in Tuscany, Italy. Surrounded by vineyards, it is known for its Nobile red wine. The Torre di Pulcinella is a clock tower topped by Pulcinella, one of the characters from the Commedia dell'Arte. Piazza Grande is home to the 14th-century Palazzo Comunale, with a tower offering views of the surrounding countryside, and the Duomo, which displays a huge triptych above the altar. The Montepulciano area, with its excellent vineyards, is considered one of the world's finest wine regions and is undoubtedly one of Tuscany's most beloved and visited tourist destinations.

We begin with a private tour of the Underground City and a renowned winery located in the heart of Montepulciano's historic center. Your guide will accompany you to the historic cellar, where the prized Vino Nobile di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. and Vinsanto di Montepulciano D.O.C. Riserva are aged. The cellar is part of a fascinating medieval underground itinerary that extends beneath seven noble palaces, culminating in the Museum of Instruments of Torture and War, as well as an Etruscan tomb. At the end of the guided tour, you will be welcomed into the evocative medieval rooms of the Underground City, where our professional kitchen is also located. Here, you will participate in the "Cooking Class" and, afterwards, enjoy a lunch based on the dishes prepared during the class. During the experience, you will have the opportunity to taste the noble wines of the Val d'Orcia and Val di Chiana regions.
