Montalcino's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Fortezza, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Poggio Civitella — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
A quiet Tuscan hilltop town in the Val d'Orcia, home to Brunello — one of Italy's most prestigious wines.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided music & arts tour route in Montalcino. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Fortezza — a 14th-century fortress with a wine bar in the ramparts serving Brunello by the glass, plus hidden gems like Poggio Civitella — an Etruscan archaeological site outside town with panoramic views and Castelnuovo dell'Abate — a tiny hamlet near the abbey with authentic trattorias favored by locals.

Montalcino is known for food and nature, but creativity is woven into every corner. Street art appears visible around Fortezza, music drifts from doorways in neighborhoods off the main tourist path. Lesser-known creative pockets like Poggio Civitella reward those who walk slowly enough to notice.
The town is small enough to walk in an hour, but the wine tastings will slow you down. Book ahead for the top estates outside town.
April through June and September through November. October harvest season brings special events at the wineries.
