Val d'Orcia

The Val d'Orcia is probably the most photographed Tuscan landscape in the world: gentle hills, solitary cypresses, and villages like Pienza and Montalcino, all part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2004. The Sangiovese grape dominates here as well, often in its pure form, producing wines that share the elegance of the nearby Brunello. Wineries in the area offer tastings with postcard-perfect views, often paired with Pienza pecorino and other local products. Book your tasting at the same price as the winery.
