Unwind in the heart of Val d’Orcia with an essential tasting experience designed for those who appreciate authenticity without the fuss. Set in a welcoming winery in Pienza, this activity invites you to connect with the region’s celebrated flavors, surrounded by iconic Tuscan scenery. Enjoy a convivial atmosphere as you sample the fruits of the land, guided by those who craft them.

Begin your journey with a curated tasting of four distinctive wines, each reflecting the versatility of the local terroir. You’ll explore a macerated white (Orange Wine), a refreshing rosato, a pure Sangiovese, and the complex Orcia DOC, each glass telling a story of passion and tradition. Handmade snacks accompany the wines, enhancing the tasting with local textures and tastes.

The experience continues with a focus on the region’s “green gold”: extra virgin olive oil. Served in a glass for full appreciation of its aroma, the oil is then poured over warm Tuscan bread to highlight its grassy notes and signature spiciness. Depending on the season, tastings take place in a panoramic garden or a rustic tasting room, always offering views of the rolling hills and Pienza’s timeless skyline.

This activity is ideal for travelers seeking a genuine, informal introduction to Tuscan wine and olive oil, especially those short on time but eager for memorable flavors. The experience concludes at the winery, leaving you free to explore Pienza or continue your journey through Val d’Orcia.
