Begin by exploring Siena, a city of medieval charm, with its elegant Gothic cathedral, the iconic Piazza del Campo, famous for the Palio horse race, and winding cobblestone streets lined with historic palaces. Take in the lively atmosphere as you wander independently or join an optional guided walking tour to uncover the city’s fascinating history and legends.
After Siena, venture into the Tuscan countryside to a charming estate at the foot of Monteriggioni Castle.

It’s a delicious and authentic encounter with the flavors of the region.
