At lunchtime, we’ll slow down in a cozy panoramic gazebo near Montepulciano for a tasting at an award-winning cheese farm: Pecorino and local specialties, paired with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Afterward, we’ll transfer back to Villa Marsili for some downtime.
In the late afternoon, the appointment is in the historic center for a hands-on cooking class: fresh pasta and sauce, then dinner together, perfectly matched with Cortona Syrah.

From there, we’ll ride through the rolling countryside of Val di Chiana on quiet gravel roads, weaving between silver olive groves and vineyard rows of Sangiovese and Syrah—pure Tuscany, calm and cinematic.
At lunchtime, we’ll return to the same small, welcoming winery for a four-course meal paired with their wines—cozy, unhurried, and beautifully local. After a little downtime back at the hotel, the afternoon shifts from countryside to culture: a guided walking tour through Cortona’s hidden corners and Etruscan layers, full of stories, history, and fun details you’d never find on your own.
Tonight we’ll celebrate with a final dinner together in one of Cortona’s best restaurants—warm hospitality, great food, and the perfect closing to the journey.

Step beyond the postcard
Cortona, Like a Local
Step beyond the postcard and into Cortona’s Etruscan soul: hidden corners, cobbled streets, and stories that only locals tell. The experience closes in the most Tuscan way—an unforgettable final evening in one of the town’s finest restaurants, shared with genuine connection and warm atmosphere.
Eat Tuscan
Roll your own pici pasta by hand with aglione (Tuscan giant garlic) tomato sauce, taste true Pecorino, the freshest local olive oil, and the classics done right — crostini, cinghiale (wild boar), and tender Chianina beef, prepared and enjoyed in the most authentic Tuscan way.

The Italian Way
Drink the Icons
Drink, the Italian way: from legendary reds—starting with Cortona Syrah and moving into Super Tuscan favorites like Brunello, Chianti, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano — to the simple ritual that ends every meal properly: limoncello, espresso, and yes, cappuccino (when it feels right).
