Duration : 10 Hours
Starting From:While all
of Italy’s diverse regions have their own distinctive charm, there’s no place
like Tuscany for a taste of authentic Italy. In the Val d’Orcia, the evocative
beauty of the landscape beckons the visitor to drink in the deliciousness (both
literally and figuratively) in one of its many pretty Medieval villages.
Our immersion in authentic cuisine and amazing
countryside is for those seeking a true Tuscan slow-food experience while
surrounded by some of the country’s most awe-inspiring countryside. Get ready
for a real Italian lunchtime feast with wine in the heart of Tuscany.
Lunch will take place at either a private
farmhouse or an authentic trattoria (casual eatery serving local dishes),
depending upon availability and the number of persons.
The cost of lunch at the farmhouse is a flat rate of 250 Euro for up to 5
persons. With 6-8 persons, add an additional 50 Euro per person to this flat
rate.
Lunch at the trattoria is à la carte (you will pay for what you order).
