Rome: Tuscany Day Trip with Vineyard Lunch and Wine Tasting

4.7 (174 verified reviews)

About This Experience

The Tour Guy sells this as a Tuscany day trip, but the option checked here pairs Pienza in Tuscany with Civita di Bagnoregio, a cliff-top village in Lazio, with a winery lunch near Montepulciano in between. It lasts about 11 hours, starts from $101 per person, and holds 4.7 from 174 GetYourGuide reviews. That makes it the lowest-priced of the long Tuscany coach days compared here.

You leave from Piazzale Flaminio for a 2-hour coach ride to Civita. The shuttle bus and entrance are included, and you walk the 300-meter pedestrian bridge into the village for about 1.5 hours on your own. The coach then heads to a family-run winery near Montepulciano for lunch, a 1.5-hour drive takes you to Pienza for an hour of free time, and the ride back to Rome takes about 2.5 hours.

At the winery you start with pecorino, prosciutto, salame, capocollo and bruschetta with olive oil. A pici pasta demonstration comes before a plate of pici with aglione sauce, and you taste three wines with the meal. Cantucci and Vin Santo finish lunch. The menu includes meat, cheese and gluten, and vegetarian options need advance notice.

This trip suits you if you want two photogenic villages and a winery lunch at a lower price than the other Tuscany coach days. It is not wheelchair accessible because of the bridge and cobblestones, and it is not suitable for people with back problems. Some reviewers found the tasting noisy and short, and one group on a stormy day could not cross the bridge.
