Tuscany movie tour: Val d’Orcia, Cortona and Siena

Tuscany has long been one of the world’s most beloved film locations, chosen by filmmakers and writers to tell unforgettable stories. This full-day small-group tour is designed for travellers who wish to combine cinema, authentic towns, local flavours and iconic landscapes, at a relaxed and enjoyable pace.

Travel comfortably by minivan with a local tour leader who, along the way, shares film-related insights, stories and information about the area. The first stop is Cortona, the charming hill town made famous by Under the Tuscan Sun. Walking through its stone alleys, artisan shops and views over olive groves, it feels like stepping into a film.

The tour continues into the countryside around Montepulciano, where you will visit a local farm and take part in a tasting of locally produced food and wine. You will sample cured meats, such as cinta senese, and bruschetta prepared with fresh garden ingredients, paired with the estate’s wines.

In Montepulciano, also known for scenes from Twilight: New Moon, you will have free time to explore the historic centre and descend into a 14th-century underground cellar for a wine and cheese tasting, discovering the area’s long-standing winemaking tradition.

Crossing the gentle hills of the Val d’Orcia, one of Italy’s most representative landscapes, the journey reaches Siena, a city with timeless charm and the natural setting of films such as Letters to Juliet and Stealing Beauty. Here you will have free time to explore Piazza del Campo and the medieval centre.

A well-rounded experience combining cinema, culture, local food and iconic scenery, ideal for discovering the most authentic side of Tuscany.

The tour also departs from Florence and San Gimignano.
