Private Val d'Orcia Experience - A cinematic universe
Overview
Escape the hustle and bustle of Florence and experience the heart of Tuscany by visiting the enchanting Val d’Orcia, a Unesco World Heritage Site. The area is famous for the movies "Under the Tuscan Sun" and "Gladiator".
The tour is a symbiosis between sightseeing, food and wine pairing and tasting. You will roam around the streets of the medieval towns of Montepulciano and Pienza. You will visit two family-run wineries and taste a wide spectrum of prestigious wines, ranging from 100% Sangiovese (including the exquisite Brunello di Montalcino) to a mixture of wine varietals, unique in nature.
Lunch will be served at an organic farmhouse and restaurant that takes pride in producing high-quality products. Apart from a multi-course lunch, you will also feast on different types of raw milk cheeses, homemade bread and extra virgin olive oil.
