What to expect
You'll start at a small winery where the owners walk you through their production and pour wines to taste. Next, a local family welcomes you into their kitchen to sample cheeses they've aged, oils they've pressed, and vinegars they've been developing for years. Homemade pasta follows—watch how it's made or participate if you wish. The final stretch is a scenic drive through Val d'Orcia's clay hills, cypress avenues and medieval villages. You can ask the driver to stop anywhere that catches your eye.
