Food & Wine Day Trips
Val D'Orcia on the Cheese Road
Departure with driver/host for half-day tour
Visit Pienza, the Pieve of Corsignano, and Monticchiello
Visit a cheese-maker with cheese tasting
A feast for the palate and the eyes all in one day!
This day trip will take you through the delightful Val D'Orcia, where the already beautiful landscape was sculptured during the renaissance, not only to meet agricultural needs, but also to reflect the aesthetic sense of the period, a concept that has maintained to the present day.
You arrive at the small but fascinating town of Pienza, known for its delicious cheeses, and built almost entirely during the renaissance, with buildings typical of the era. Here, you will witness one of the first examples of modern urban planning. You will traverse through one of the most picturesque places in Tuscany, the peaceful Pieve of Corsignano, to arrive at the cheese makers for a visit of the laboratory and a cheese tasting.
