Wines
Wine connoisseurs will be in seventh heaven in this area. One of the larger towns in the area, Montepulciano, is renowned for its wines, which can be tasted in the bodegas around the town or at wineries in the surrounding countryside. The town itself is most definitely worth visiting on its own merit; the narrow cobbled streets within its high walls climb steeply to the Renaissance palazzo on the square at the top, rewarding you with incredible views.
Also not far away lies Montalcino, whose vineyards (of predominantly Sangiovese grapes) produce the famous Brunello wines. Taste a few and buy your favourite to enjoy with dinner on the terrace!
