Unlike the rounded hills, dense vineyards, olive trees and forests of Chianti, the Val d'Orcia landscape is characterized by wide, open vistas of plowed and sown fields that stretch over low hills to the horizon, interrupted here and there by clusters and rows of cypresses and umbrella pines, as well as isolated farmhouses. The Val d'Orcia extends from the hills south of Siena to the volcanic cone of Monte Amiata. Its towns and villages, such as Pienza and Montalcino, are picturesque. If its gentle, carefully cultivated hills look familiar, you've seen them in works of art beginning with Renaissance paintings to modern photographs.
And no trip to the Val d'Orcia would be complete without tasting that most prestigious of Tuscan wines: Brunello di Montalcino.
A particularly enjoyable gourmet experience involving a sommelier to guide the wine tasting, a renowned cheese producer to introduce his cheese and a leading maître chocolatier who will delight you with chocolate surprises and tastings. A unique opportunity to meet top producers and taste their selected products. And to be delighted with lovely surprises...
