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 flavours, 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 storey 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 over 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 travellers seeking a genuine, informal introduction to Tuscan wine and olive oil, especially those short on time but eager for memorable flavours.
