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.
