Gourmet Safari in Val D’Orcia

The Gourmet Safari in Val D’Orcia is an exclusive private journey through one of Italy’s most enchanting landscapes, where rolling hills, medieval villages, and centuries-old traditions come together in a perfect symphony of beauty and flavor. Designed by Artviva, Tuscany’s leading boutique tour company with over 20 years of expertise, this immersive day trip combines luxury, authenticity, and cultural discovery.

Your private adventure begins with a comfortable transfer from Florence (or another arranged location) to the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage region renowned for its postcard-perfect scenery. Along the way, your professional English-speaking driver-guide introduces the history, culture, and flavors that have made this corner of Tuscany world famous.

Highlights of the experience include:

• Exclusive Wine Tastings at prestigious local wineries, where Brunello di Montalcino and Super Tuscan wines await, paired with fascinating insights from expert winemakers.
• Artisanal Food Encounters, with visits to traditional cheese farms and olive oil estates where you’ll sample pecorino, extra virgin olive oils, and seasonal specialties.
• An Authentic Tuscan Lunch, enjoyed at a family-owned trattoria or elegant countryside estate, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
• Cultural & Historical Discoveries, as you stroll through charming towns such as Pienza, Montepulciano, or Montalcino—villages rich in Renaissance architecture, history, and artisan shops.

Throughout the day, your guide will weave together stories of the Val d’Orcia’s agricultural traditions, Renaissance heritage, and enduring connection to food and wine. The pace is relaxed, the itinerary flexible, and every detail is tailored to your interests.
