Join Vernon and Kathy of Italiaoutdoors Food and Wine on our walking adventure through the picturesque hilltop towns of the premier wine towns of southern Tuscany. We begin in Montepulciano, with a short walk to see the town and visit a local producer of Vino Nobile before returning to our historic Relais. We hike along dirt roads around Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for pecorino cheese and truffles, exploring the relatively new Orcia DOC, named by Wine Enthusiast one of the Top 10 Wine Travel Get Aways for 2018. We spend an evening strolling through the medieval alleyways of charming, off-the-beaten path San Quirico d’Orcia, as the week continues to unfold with new sights, tastes and experiences around every bend in the road. We finish in Montalcino, with a visit to the isolated Abbey at St Antimo, and two unique private wine tasting and tours at producers of the renowned Brunello di Montalcino.
