San Gimignano, Chianti and Montalcino Day Trip From Siena
Start with 8:30am hotel pickup, depending on the time of year. As the sights of Siena slip into the distance, you’ll notice the landscape turn into the undulating hills of Tuscany. Your first stop in the region is the beloved hill town of San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy free time here to wander the streets of its historical center, gazing at the medieval architecture, towers, piazzas, and artisan shops. San Gimignano produces the renowned vernaccia wine, and you’ll find plenty of enoteche (wine shops) around the streets. Then, travel into the Val d’Orcia region of Tuscany where the winemaking village of Montalcino awaits. Next, you’ll head to the historic fortress town of Monteriggioni. Stop at a winery for lunch and a wine tasting. Savor a light meal of local cheese and salami, paired with Chianti wine. Taste the esteemed Brunello di Montalcino wine, and learn about the town’s winemaking traditions. Relax on the journey back to Siena, and finish your day trip with a hotel drop-off.
