What to Expect
Journey to Family Farms
In the Orcia River Valley, small cheese dairies, wineries, and mills have preserved ancient technologies and recipes. You will stroll through vineyards and olive groves, tasting prestigious Italian wine - Brunello di Montalcino. At the cheese dairy, you will be offered over ten types of sheep's cheese, and at the mill - local pasta made from hard wheat varieties. We will chat with the farmers, and they will share the secrets of their craft and funny stories about their profession. I will not only show you what and where to try, but also tell you the origin of each recipe and how each product is made.
