BELLINI TUSCANY TOURS
Montepulciano and Cortona
Full Day with Minivan and Driver – 2 Towns, lunch included
One day in Montepulciano and Cortona, to discover the two most fascinating medieval towns of our unique Tuscan Val d’Orcia
Let us guide you towards the most beautiful valley in the southernmost part of Tuscany.
Both the towns you are visiting today were built by the Etruscans on the top of the highest hills in the area, dominating the valley.
Montepulciano is a typical Medieval town of rare beauty, that surely deserves to be visited. From here you can enjoy a fabulous panorama. And even if you don’t especially like wine, don’t miss the opportunity to taste the sweet Nobile di Montepulciano at the many wine shops and at the Enoliteca!
You will also be driven to Cortona, one of the most enchanting town in the whole Tuscany. This is over 3000 years old and it was one of the most important cities during the Etruscan Age; a holy city that, for a long time, even the Roman’s army have been afraid to assault. Today, Cortona is renown for having been chosen as the set for the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”. In Cortona you will also have a really tasty lunch.
