If you were thinking about planning a getaway in Tuscany next spring as something to look forward to after the winter and in 2024, and if you happen to be a bit of a wine-lover, then you should consider our amazing villas in the Orcia Valley. Not only are these properties set within one of the most quintessentially Tuscan and picturesque parts of the region but they are located in an area with plenty of incredible wineries nearby.
Plus, if you are thinking about being in the area during the last weekend in April, then you can head to the town of San Quirico d'Orcia for the unmissable Orcia Wine Festival.
The Orcia Wine Festival was created to celebrate the amazing wine production in the Orcia Valley and it absolutely delivers! Set within the gorgeous historic core of this charming town, in the pretty rooms of the 18th century Palazzo Chigi, the schedule of the event includes tastings of both food and wine, guided technical tasting sessions, cooking classes, talks from experts, special visits to local wineries throughout the duration of the event, a Gala Dinner, and more.
With a range of incredible DOC wines from the 12 towns of the Orcia Valley wine area, including white, rosé and vin Santo wines to be discovered, tasted, enjoyed, and purchased, and a variety of local culinary delights to be sampled (including olive oils, white truffles, Cinta Senese salami, Pienza cheeses and other local culinary delights), and plenty to be learned, this event is an absolute must for any serious foodies and wine fans dreaming of a holiday in Tuscany.
So, plan a perfect culinary vacation in Tuscany for the spring by booking a holiday rental in the Orcia Valley and heading to the amazing Orcia Wine Festival in San Quirico d’Orcia this coming April.
