Our lunch will be at traditional local grocery store in the center of the village.

We will explore its cellars and we will then have a delicious lunch at the panoramic terrace. We will enjoy a typical Tuscan lunch surronded by the hills of the Val di Chiana landscape. We will taste “pici”, typical home made pasta, meat cooked on the grill and “cantucci and vin santo” as a dessert. Following that, our sommelier-guide will lead us through the alleys of Montepulciano.
