Highlights
  • Chianciano Terme - Embark on a journey through Chianciano to savor the taste of EVO Oil and discover the “streap” technique! EVO stands for Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is produced from olives that have never made contact with the ground, are unprocessed, and are exclusively cold-pressed using mechanical methods without any chemical additives. The olives are crushed at the mill, and that’s the sole process for extracting the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
    EVO Oil Sampling at an Authentic Olive Farm.

  • Montepulciano - Enjoy some leisure time for retail therapy and an independent exploration of the aromatic Medieval village! Montepulciano is a historic hilltop town in Southern Tuscany, celebrated for its culinary and vinicultural offerings. Famous for its pork, cheese, “pici” pasta, lentils, and honey, it is internationally acclaimed for its wine. The Vino Nobile of Montepulciano, distinct from wines made from the Montepulciano grape, is considered one of Italy’s finest.

  • Montepulciano - A visit to a winery and a guided Wine Tasting experience in the pastoral surroundings.

  • Historic Centre of the City of Pienza - Pienza, a quaint town reimagined in the 15th century as a Renaissance gem, offers a self-directed stroll through its historic streets. Notable landmarks dot the landscape, each narrating a chapter of the town’s past. Besides its historical significance, Pienza is also celebrated for its wine, gastronomy, and cultural heritage. Particularly, Pienza is renowned for its pecorino cheese, which is aged in various ways to augment its taste.

  • Pienza - Cheese Tasting in Pienza: Say “cheese” and flash a grin for the camera! In Southern Tuscany, you’ll beam alongside Giuseppe and his flock of sheep! Giuseppe’s homestead and creamery hark back to the timeless craft of sheep cheese making. Indulge your palate on this gastronomic voyage of flavors!
    Cheese Sampling included in the Pienza countryside.
