Dedicated vehicle & chauffeur
Morning light skims the hay bales by the Via Cassia, and wild fennel scents the roadside. The Val d’Orcia’s UNESCO-listed curves roll between Torrenieri and San Quirico d’Orcia in measured waves. Cypress lines point to the Cappella di Vitaleta’s white track, while Pienza—reshaped by Pope Pius II in the 15th century—whispers of cave-aged pecorino. Farther south, Montalcino stands at 564 meters, watching over sangiovese vines for Brunello, with storied plots around Montosoli and Castelnuovo dell’Abate.
Your driver collects you in Florence around 8 am and heads south by A1 and SP146 in a Mercedes, with the vehicle at your disposal all day. Stop for photos at the famed cypress rows near San Quirico, wander Pienza’s lanes, then taste while your chauffeur handles ridge roads and parking. Choose a countryside lunch or a Montalcino table, then cruise back late afternoon—around 6:30 pm to Florence—with the option of one last viewpoint at the Belvedere di Montalcino.
