Rome to Florence via Montepulciano: A Tuscan Wine Country Stop
A scenic journey through medieval Tuscany with a taste of noble wine along the way.
This private transfer from Rome to Florence breaks the journey with a two-hour stop in Montepulciano, one of Tuscany's most celebrated medieval hill towns and the birthplace of Vino Nobile, a wine recognized as among the finest in Italy.
Perched high above the Chianti valley, Montepulciano offers sweeping panoramic views over the rolling vineyards that produce some of the country's most prized grapes. The town's stone streets wind past Renaissance palaces, ancient churches, and cellars that have been aging wine for centuries.
Your driver will park in the center of town and can recommend wine tasting venues and traditional lunch spots inside the historic cellars where Vino Nobile is still produced using time-honored methods. After your exploration, the journey continues north to Florence at a comfortable pace.
