Our expert driver will pick you up at your hotel or other chosen location (B&B or private apartment) and take you to discover the Tuscan countryside. The first stop will be in Cortona for a self-guided visit of the city (1 hour). Cortona is a traditional fortified Etruscan city, located approximately 600 meters above sea level, offering spectacular views of the surrounding valley and Lake Trasimeno. The main things I recommend you look for in the city center are: - Piazza della Repubblica, the historic center of Cortona - the pretty medieval streets of Cortona - Piazza Signorelli - the beautiful shops of Cortona, We will also visit the incredible Monastery of St. Francis, a peaceful place not far from the city.

The second wine tasting experience will be in the historic cellar of Cantina Ercolani. During the Renaissance the Ercolani family cultivated vines and in 1700 this activity was highly appreciated.
