Additional Information
Roberto is intimately acquainted with each of his pigs; they are brought up in a semi-wild environment, nourished with specially chosen feed and grains sourced from the Tuscan farmlands. The encounter is as bucolic as it is memorable; following a stroll through the vineyards and olive orchard, you will get the chance to mingle with ‘Ciro’, the house pig, and get acquainted with his entourage of Cinta Senese pigs frolicking in the mud. After visiting these adorable creatures (and possibly snapping a few selfies with them), you’ll get the chance to tantalize your taste buds with a tasting plate of Cinta Senese charcuterie or a swift lunch featuring farm products, potentially harvested directly from the garden by you.

A one of a kind experience - I fantastic visit to the farm. The animals are very well fed & fun to see. There were. Some piglets that were only 2 weeks old that acted like little puppies. We had an amazing meal outside & afterwards visited the market.

We will be back for sure! - The farm is so cute...the little pigs are so sweet. The owner was really kind and helpful. We ate very well in a very simple and welcoming environment...a killer ribollita and one of the best Tuscan crostini I've ever eaten.
We will definitely be back.

Loved it and loved Roberto! - So so good! Roberto is wonderful and generous with his time and his food and wine! Great to get out into the country - about a 40-minute walk from the main part of town in Montepulciano, but stunning views walking through farms and vineyards to get there. Loved meeting the pigs and learning about the Tuscan ways of farming, and the “light lunch” with wine was delicious and filling. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Tuscan farm tour with lunch - A true Tuscan farm tour with lunch. Roberto was delightful and charming. We toured the vineyard, the olives trees, the pigs (they are not stinky or muddy) but it is a true working farm and we had salami and pancetta for lunch. A great experience.

wonderful experience! - We all loved our afternoon here! The kids had so much fun meeting the pigs. The lunch was lovely and delicious in a beautiful setting. Roberto was a great host and we had so much fun talking to him. We were a family of 11 (ages 9-73) and we all absolutely loved the experience!
