Come see what we are talking about!

DAY ONE

We'll begin the tour in the spectacular medieval town of Siena with a short walking tour and visit. A stop at the richly decorated Duomo (cathedral) and the Piazza del Campo, the famous shell-shaped medieval square, will be musts.
After a light lunch, we'll head out of Siena and begin our journey.
This afternoon's ride will not be difficult, as we gently climb and descend past vineyards, through open fields and quiet woods. We'll ride through small villages, seemingly frozen in time and pass beautifully restored farmhouses, some of which serve as wineries today.
Our destination is an 18th century villa, with a fabulous view, lovingly restored by a the Canocchi family, who will welcome us into their grand home and treat us to Mamma Erminda's delicious classic Tuscan cooking; dinner will include home-made pasta, wild game and other typical Tuscan specialities.
