3.Discover Montepulciano: Cinta Senese Pigs, Lunch & wine in a Farm

At Roberto’s farmhouse near Montepulciano, you’ll meet rare Cinta Senese pigs, stroll among vineyards and olive trees, then share a generous Tuscan lunch with cold cuts, Pecorino di Pienza, local wine, cantucci, and coffee. The small group is capped at 10 people.

“Great experience! Roberto is a wonderful host and we had a great time meeting his pigs, touring his farm and enjoying a substantial meal. My only recommendation is to give yourself extra time to find the farm. Google maps got us pretty close, but not exactly there. We stopped at several neighbors to ask for directions, but unless you speak Italian it is a challenge. Google Translate was of limited value. My only suggestion is better signage on the road. The destination was well worth the journey. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and recommend this experience.”

It was a lot of fun and ended with a great meal that we made for ourselves! The wine served with our meal was also very good. Well worth the time and cost.”
