Highlights
- Cortona - One of the most beautiful towns of Tuscany, the medieval village which was immortalized by the movie “Under the Tuscan sun”. You will have time to explore it all over, seat down in one of the cafeterias by the main square, have a cappuccino, and feel overwhelmed by such delightful atmosphere of an old Tuscan village!
- Villa Bramasole - By yourself, or with your driver-guide, you will reach the famous countryside residence that was the one you have seen by watching the movie! Time for pics and for falling caught away in time life that belongs to that spot!
-
Montepulciano - Montepulciano does not need to be presented! It is the town of the famous “Nobile di Montepulciano” red wine celebrated even by poets and today considered one of the best world red wines.
You will have time to walk around and discover the beauties of the main square, piazza Grande, lined up by the Duomo and the Town Hall of typical renaissance architecture but with still recognizable medieval features! - Contucci Cantine - The Cantica Contucci resides in the historic family residence and it is, according to ancient sources, one of the oldest and most appreciated. Always available to offer, for free tastings, their excellent Nobile di Montepulciano to anyone who enters and wishes to know the flavor of this nectar of the gods.

Wonderful fun in the Tuscan Sun. - This tour to Cortona and Montepulciano was exactly what I had been wanting for a Tuscany experience! Alessandro Vagnoni was a wonderful driver and guide as we drove through the countryside from Rome. In Cortona, he took pictures of us in front of the picturesque villa of Bramasole, as seen in the movie. He escorted us through the area as well as giving us time to be on our own. Montepulciano was another wonderful city where Alessandro had made reservations in advance for us for an incredibly scrumptious lunch. This 10 hour trip gave us five hours in the two cities as well as the five hours of driving in beautiful countryside seeing fields of sunflowers, vineyards and olive trees. It was a very special day in Tuscany that I will always treasure. I highly recommend this tour!
