About this tour
Tear across Val d'Orcia's rolling countryside on a quad bike, stopping to meet heritage Cinta Senese pigs at a working farm near Montepulciano, then sit down to a proper Tuscan lunch. This five- to six-hour loop departs and returns to Fattoria Madonna della Querce, where you'll walk among olive groves and vineyards before encountering the farm's black-and-white pigs roaming freely. The meal features house-made cured meats, local cheese, seasonal salads, and estate wine.

What to expect
You'll ride a two-seater quad (driver needs a car licence) across country tracks, experiencing Val d'Orcia's scenery without staying on main roads. The pace is steady, allowing you to absorb the landscape. Back at the farm, a short walk brings you to the pigs' enclosure; they're accustomed to visitors and happy to be photographed and stroked. Lunch happens at the fattoria, starting with bruschetta, moving through ribollita (winter) or panzanella (summer), then a spread of cured meats, aged pecorino with fruit preserves, and finishing with coffee and biscuits dipped in sweet wine.
Good to know
Drivers must hold a valid car licence. Children under six cannot participate; those six and older ride as passengers. The ride isn't suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health. Bring sun protection and wear closed shoes. Prices cover two people per quad.
