Rome: Tuscany Day Trip with Vineyard Lunch and Wine Tasting

About this experience

This day trip combines Civita di Bagnoregio and Pienza with a guided winery visit, so you get iconic scenery and a full Tuscan lunch in one well-paced itinerary. Entry and the shuttle bus to Civita are included, along with four wine tastings and olive oil tasting at the winery. With round-trip coach transport from Rome and an expert guide, you can focus on the experience instead of routing, reservations, and timing.

What to expect

1. Stop 1 · 1h 45min

   Arrive at the base of Civita di Bagnoregio, an ancient village perched on a crumbling volcanic plateau. Cross the dramatic pedestrian bridge that connects this isolated town to the modern world, with sweeping valley views on both sides.

2. Stop 2 · 2h

   Next, head into the Montepulciano countryside to visit a family-run winery. To start, sample typical local products such as pecorino, prosciutto, salame, capocollo, and bruschetta with olive oil. If time allows, you may also have the chance to explore the small cellar museum. After the tasting, sit down for a warm, rustic meal featuring handmade pici pasta with traditional aglione sauce. Pair lunch with three wines, then finish with cantucci and Vin Santo.

3. Stop 3 · 1h

   Continue to Pienza for 1 hour of free time in this Renaissance hill town. Walk the honey-colored streets, browse local food shops, and take in broad Val d’Orcia landscape views.
