This unique experience allows you to visit the most interesting places in the Val d'Orcia and Montepulciano, traveling along country roads to admire nature and art. The tour begins and ends at the Fattoria Madonna della Querce, next to the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Querce in Montepulciano. This farm raises Cinta Senese pigs, a type of black pig with a white cinta, of ancient Tuscan origins. We'll take a short walk through the olive trees and vineyard to reach the pigs, who roam free, separated by an electric fence. We can walk with them, touch them, and take photos. Lunch is included in the experience and includes a menu including:
Bruschetta, ribollita (soup soup) in the winter and panzanella (soup soup) in the summer, a platter of our cured meats, Pienza pecorino cheese with jams, cantucci biscuits and vinsanto (sweet dessert wine), water, house wine, and espresso.
