We exercise our taste buds with adventures into the charming village of Pienza, where we delight in a personal tasting of their world-renowned sheep’s milk cheese, Pecorino; as well as Montalcino, to tour a local wine cellar and sample various house wines. Rounding out our experiences throughout Tuscany, we encounter the medieval town of San Gimignan and the tranquil village of Siena, touring impeccable structures such as the church of San Domenico, Loggia della Mercanzia, Piazza del Campo, and the Palazzo Publico. This nine-day journey through Tuscany is ideal for the traveler who delights in incredible food, vibrant culture, and unforgettable experiences, that extend beyond the normal tourist’s itinerary.
