La Dolce Vita Orient Express - Tastes of Tuscan Vineyards and the Gems of Italy

9-day Tuscan vineyards rail package extended with Florence and Venice

Railbookers offers this as a 9-day, 8-night independent rail package that begins and ends in Rome, with a stop in Montalcino at its center and an extension to Florence and Venice. The Rome stays include guided tours and culinary activities, the Montalcino stop focuses on Tuscany's winemaking tradition, and the trip then adds two nights each in Florence and Venice further north. The Montalcino leg runs aboard the La Dolce Vita Orient Express. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, time outside the named guided elements is arranged for travelers to use as they choose. It suits travelers who want to pair a food-and-wine focused stop in Tuscany with two further Italian cities, rather than a shorter single-region trip.

What to know before you look closer

  • The evidence available for this package does not include a full day-by-day itinerary, so exact hotel names and which specific day includes the Montalcino train journey are not confirmed here; check these details with Railbookers before booking.
  • This is listed as an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, so time outside the named guided tours is not led by a tour manager.
