Val d’Orcia and Montepulciano: the cinematic heart of Tuscany

Your 10 day Tuscany itinerary begins in Rome, then moves quickly into the countryside with a private long-distance transfer that turns travel time into part of the romance. As the scenery opens into rolling hills and olive groves, you arrive in the Montepulciano area, where the first Tuscan chapter is already waiting. A historic winery visit with tastings and a traditional lunch sets the tone: authentic, curated, and beautifully paced.

Val d’Orcia is where Tuscany becomes a living painting. Your countryside base is chosen for privacy and atmosphere, typically a boutique agriturismo, a small wine resort, or a refined country retreat that feels calm and romantic. Days are designed with space built in. One experience focuses on local flavor and tradition with a pecorino cheese dairy visit and tastings paired with regional products, followed by leisure time to enjoy the town rhythm of Montepulciano. Another day takes you through Pienza and onward to Montalcino, where Brunello is not just a wine, but an identity, culminating in a winery tour, tastings, and a gourmet lunch with pairings.

Siena and Chianti Classico: castles, vineyards, and slow luxury hospitality

The transition into Chianti is curated rather than rushed. With a private driver, you travel through Tuscany with a cultural stop in Siena, explored with a local licensed guide who brings the city’s medieval elegance to life through stories and details. Then you arrive in Chianti Classico, where the landscape shifts into vineyards, cypress lined roads, and stone villages rising above the vines.

Your accommodation here is selected for character and intimate service, typically a boutique wine resort or a refined 5-star boutique hotel among the hills. The mood is romantic and restorative. A private villa cooking class becomes a shared experience, followed by a relaxed lunch with wines. Another day is designed around the most iconic Chianti scenery, with a castle visit, curated countryside stops, and a winery lunch experience that feels celebratory and deeply Tuscan. If you want to expand the wine immersion, we can tailor additional tastings and estates based on your preferences, starting from our Private Tuscany Tours collection.

Florence: Renaissance beauty, private guiding, and a grand finale

Florence closes the 10 day Tuscany itinerary with the same slow luxury approach. Your hotel is handpicked and centrally located, so the city is walkable and effortless. One day includes a private guided walk through Florence’s Renaissance heart, completed by skip-the-line Accademia tickets to admire Michelangelo’s David with the right timing and without pressure. Another day reveals Florence through its craft and style, with Oltrarno artisan workshops and the fashion district, again led by a private guide and paced for comfort. To personalize your city time even further, explore our Florence Private Guided Tours for curated add-ons and special interest visits.

The true luxury: flow, privacy, and a journey that feels made for two

This itinerary is built for couples who value authenticity but also want comfort, privacy, and excellent pacing. The luxury is not only in the hotels. It is in the way every day connects smoothly, in the private services that remove friction, and in how the experience feels curated around romance. From your first Tuscan lunch to your final Florence evening, Grand Tuscany Romantic Escape is designed to feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable.
