What to expect

  1. Montepulciano
    2h
    Our driver will pick you up in Florence and drive you through the scenic hills of Umbria and Tuscany to Montepulciano. Explore the main square of Montepulciano, visit the Temple of San Biagio, and enjoy lunch at your choice or our driver's recommendation. Montepulciano is renowned for its excellent red wines—Nobile and Rosso di Montepulciano. Our driver, well-versed in the area, will guide you through captivating underground cellars for an incredible wine tasting experience, showcasing the best wines and their unique characteristics.
  2. Cortona
    1h 30m
    After Montepulciano, our next stop is the captivating town of Cortona. Enjoy a self-guided tour of the historical center, a cultural and artistic hub in the Val di Chiana after Arezzo. Founded by the Etruscans, Cortona, or 'Curtun,' preserves its Etruscan origins and tells tales of Renaissance artists like Luca Signorelli and Beato Angelico, along with Baroque artist Pietro di Cortona.

    Immerse yourself in the charm that inspired the film 'Under the Tuscan Sun.' Just beyond the city, explore the Hermitage of San Francesco, known as 'Le Celle.' This monastery, with its mystical atmosphere, served as inspiration for San Francesco, who composed 'The Canticle of Creatures' here.
  3. Lake Trasimeno
    Pass by
    After exploring Cortona, our journey continues towards Assisi, passing the scenic Trasimeno Lake with an optional stop on request. Nestled in the green heart of Umbria, Lake Trasimeno boasts picturesque beds of reeds and enchanting white water lilies, creating a natural paradise for wild ducks, cormorants, kites, and kingfishers.
    The transfer concludes in Assisi (or Perugia), where our driver will drop you off at your specified location—be it a hotel, private flat address, B&B, or your desired destination.
