• Montepulciano - The journey begins with a pickup in Florence, where the driver will take you through the beautiful landscapes of Umbria and Tuscany to Montepulciano. Discover the main square, visit the Temple of San Biagio, and enjoy a delightful lunch at a place of your choice or as recommended by the driver. Montepulciano is famous for its outstanding red wines—Nobile and Rosso di Montepulciano. The knowledgeable driver will lead you through fascinating underground cellars for a remarkable wine tasting experience, highlighting the finest wines and their distinct qualities.
• Cortona - Following Montepulciano, the next destination is the enchanting town of Cortona. Enjoy a self-guided tour of the historic center, a cultural and artistic center in the Val di Chiana after Arezzo. Established by the Etruscans, Cortona, or ‘Curtun,’ retains its Etruscan roots and shares stories of Renaissance artists like Luca Signorelli and Beato Angelico, as well as Baroque artist Pietro di Cortona.

Experience the allure that inspired the movie ‘Under the Tuscan Sun.’ Just outside the city, visit the Hermitage of San Francesco, known as ‘Le Celle.’ This monastery, with its mystical ambiance, inspired San Francesco, who wrote ‘The Canticle of Creatures’ here.

• Lake Trasimeno - After exploring Cortona, the journey continues towards Assisi, passing the scenic Trasimeno Lake with an optional stop upon request. Situated in the lush heart of Umbria, Lake Trasimeno features charming beds of reeds and beautiful white water lilies, creating a natural haven for wild ducks, cormorants, kites, and kingfishers.
