About this tour

In between, precious Brunello vineyards dotted with olive trees and cypresses.

The majestic Val d’Orcia unfolds just a step away from the luxuriant forest of Monte Amiata’s slopes: a vast expanse of beauty, a UNESCO heritage site, rolling hills of cereals that change colors with every season, with every change of light and feeling.

Pilgrims, merchants, travelers have crossed it over the centuries, along one of the most famous roads in Italy: the Via Francigena.

Under the pergola on a trailside farm it will be easy to enjoy pecorino cheese and pici pasta with aglione (a garlic and tomato sauce).

Pienza’s harmonious Renaissance architecture, Bagno Vignoni hot springs, Montepulciano historic wineries of Vino Nobile and Etruscan ruins: Val d’Orcia’s beauty will stay with you forever.
