What to expect
Exploring family farms
In the Orcia River Valley, there are small cheese factories, wineries, and mills producing products using old technologies and recipes. You will walk through vineyards and olive groves, taste prestigious Italian wine like Brunello di Montalcino. At the cheese factory, you will be offered more than ten types of sheep cheese, and at the mill, you can try local pasta made from hard wheat varieties. We will chat with farmers, who will share their craftsmanship secrets and funny stories about their profession. I will not only show you what and where to try but also explain the origins of each recipe and the production process of each product.
