Highlights
  • Chianciano Terme - Embark on a journey through Chianciano to savor the EVO Oil and discover the “streap” method!
    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 means without any chemical additives.
    The olives are crushed at the mill, and that’s the sole process for extracting the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
    Experience EVO Oil Tasting at an Authentic Oil Farm.

  • Montepulciano - Enjoy some leisure time for shopping and a self-directed exploration of the aromatic Medieval village!
    Montepulciano is a historic hill town in Southern Tuscany, known for its medieval and Renaissance heritage.
    It’s a hub for gastronomy, famous for its pork, cheese, “pici” pasta, lentils, and honey, and 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 - Visit a winery and partake in a Wine Tasting guided tour amidst the scenic countryside.

  • Historic Centre of the City of Pienza - Pienza is a quaint town that underwent a transformation into a Renaissance gem in the 15th century. Stroll through its streets on a self-guided tour, spotting numerous significant landmarks that each contribute to the town’s rich history. Besides its historical significance, Pienza is also celebrated for its wine, culinary delights, and cultural heritage. Notably, Pienza is renowned for its pecorino cheese, which is aged in various ways to intensify its taste.

  • Pienza - Indulge in a Cheese Tasting experience in Pienza: Say “cheese” for a photo opportunity!
    You’ll be grinning in Southern Tuscany alongside Giuseppe and his flock of sheep!
