Private day tour from Siena to Val d'Orcia to explore the medieval towns of Cortona and Montepulciano.
With your private driver from the lobby of your hotel in Siena crossing the Crete Senesi south of Siena, reach the Valdichiana where the hill towns of Cortona and Montepulciano face each other. In Montepulciano visit of a premium winery with light lunch and tasting od their excellent wines including the Nobile di Montepulciano

Time at leisure to explore both Montepulciano and Cortona.

The town of Montepulciano is well known for the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a ruby full-bodied red, made primarily from a Sangiovese grape varietal locally called Prugnolo Gentile
Montepulciano whose origins dates back to an ancient Etruscan settlement, was turned in to a fortified village in the Middle Ages and encircled by walls and fortifications designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Elder in 1511 during the Medici rule.
In the historical centre there are rest of roman elements, medieval architecture and Renaissance noble buildings: the elegant Palazzo de' Nobili-Tauragi, the austere Palazzo Comunale and the stunning Renaissance Church San Biagio are a must to see.

Interesting is a visit of the historical cellars just under the main square of Montepulciano, ancient cellars dug into the tufa, that maintain in the centuries the old tradition of the city and where at the end of the tour you could taste the Montepulciano wines (payable locally).

Your private driver will take you to Cortona, an ancient town dating back to Etruscans and Romans times. Cortona has become very popular with the book and the film “Under the Tuscan Sun”.  
Strolling at your own pace through the narrows medieval streets reach the Piazza della Repubblica and the nearby Piazza Signorelli where there is an Etruscans Museum.
Admire the stunning views till the lake Trasimeno from its terraces.

Back to your hotel in Siena where your private tour ends.
