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.

Great time at the Pig Farm - We had a wonderful time. It was fun to have a tour of the farm and see all the pigs. We sat out on the porch and had fantastic charcuterie, wine, cheese. Frederica was a warm & friendly hostess. We would recommend this activity.

Pigs are pretty - We enjoyed a nice tour of the olive groves, vineyard, and piggery at this small farm with excellent views. There was plenty of time to ask questions and learn about the operation before we gathered on the patio for wine and snacks. The wines (red and white- both excellent) come from grapes on the farm and are fermented, aged, and bottled in a cellar under the house. Along with the wine, there is a progression of snacks that feature olive oil, sausage, prosciutto, and various other products that come from the farm. Roberto was generous with his time and the farm lunch was a treat.

The ‘Real Deal’ - We visited with our three adult children and their parters. What a wonderful tour!! Roberto is the ‘real deal’!! A small farm that produces fantastic pot, olive oil and wine (I was amazed by the wine). Will visit again when we are in the area.

True Farm-to-Table - My wife, and two close friends spent a wonderful March afternoon with Roberto on his farm. Due to it being early in the season we were fortunate enough to get a private tour of the olive grove, vineyard, Cinta Senese pigs (Chirro is a legend), and market garden. Afterward we had a lovely multi-course lunch on the enclosed deck overlooking the valley. Red and white wine made by Roberto. Ribollita from veg on the farm and homemade bread. Charcuterie from Roberto’s Cintas. Sheep’s milk cheese from a local farm. Bread with Roberto’s olive oil and chicken liver pate from another local farm. It was perfectly idyllic and we had a wonderful conversation with Roberto about his farm, the region, the climate, and more. I cannot recommend this experience more.

Authentic typical - Beyond expectations!
The tour was very pleasant, the owner showed us the whole estate explaining with passion his business: the cultivation of the Olive Tree, the vineyards, his vegetable garden and of course the breeding of his very nice piglets! Ciro, also called the star, impressive for his size, is famous for being the farm mascot, but all the pigs are friendly and the young are very hungry and sweet.
Point to emphasize is lunch: we expected a simple cutting board, but it was a journey through the flavors of real Tuscany with ribollita, delicious, cold cuts and cheeses, bruschetta, cantucci all accompanied by good farm wine.
A nice typical experience and not artificial at all. Absolutely recommended!!

Highly recommended experience - My partner and I spent a morning that we will remember forever.
I would recommend the guided tour with the owner Roberto, really nice. The high point was the walk around the fences of the Cinta Senese pigs. Here we first met Ciro, the farm mascot, and then Rant one of his sons. These animals put the joy of life and are treated with gloves by Roberto.
Next we were delighted with the "light lunch", a collection of zero kilometer delicacies that has nothing of light lunch.
5 stars because you can not put more!

Highlight of our trip - The farm visit was the highlight of our trip. It was amazing to see how much they are accomplished on their farm. They produced enough olive oil and wine to supply themselves for the year….with extra to sell! And the pigs were adorable. Definitely book this adventure and make sure to include wine and charcuterie afterwards!
