Wine and Architecture tour

Val d'Orcia

with
Daan ter Avest
June and October 2021
Book now

Taste the Val d'Orcia

During this wine tour, discover the Val d'Orcia south of Siena. This beautiful part of Tuscany has inspired many artists. Because of its unique beauty it is on the UNESCO World Heritage List! Two world-famous wines are produced on the rolling hills of this region: the Brunello di Montalcino and the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.

Tuscany is characterized by a wide variety of wine regions that are very different in location, landscape and wine. Over the last few years, around thirty new wine cellars have been built with impressive architecture. This is the first in a series of tours with the title Cathedrals of Wine. In this tour we focus on the Val d'Orcia.

The first and second day we will taste the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. We visit the architecturally exceptional wineries Icario, Cantine Dei and Salcheto. Of course we will also explore the town of Montepulciano. The third day is for the Brunello di Montalcino. We take the scenic route through the Val d'Orcia to Montalcino. There we will visit the winery of Podere le Ripi of the Illy family. We will explore the old center of Montalcino and finish at the winery Col di Lamo. Daan ter Avest guides us these days and provides the architecture with comments.

Accommodation

We will stay at Chiostro di Pienza, located in the historic center of the Renaissance town Pienza, in the heart of the Val d’Orcia. Pienza is also known as the Ideal City of Pope Pius II.
The Chiostro di Pienza is a former Franciscan Convent dating back to the 13th century, today a four star hotel with a garden and swimming pool and a panoramic terrace overlooking the surrounding rolling hills. The rooms are very spacious and each with a private bathroom.
The historic centre is unchanged since the 15th century with small alleys, squares, numerous imposing palazzi and a cathedral with a beautiful octagonal bell tower. And of course nowadays bars and fine restaurants. During our stay we will enjoy delicious dinners in various restaurants in the historic centre.
