The stunning town of San Quirico d’Orcia is an exceptionally pretty and well-preserved historic gem surrounded by the lush greenery of the Orcia Valley, fertile lands where incredible wineries can be found. It should be no surprise, therefore, that this most beautiful swathe of the Tuscan landscape is where you will find one of the most exciting wine festivals in Italy each spring. Taking place from the 25th of April to the 28th of April 2024, the Orcia Wine Festival promotes the amazing wine of the UNESCO-awarded Val d’Orcia and introduces visitors to the most remarkable examples of wines from the region as well as hosting a vibrant schedule of all sorts of events for both adults and children. So, if you are a wine-lover considering a spring getaway in Tuscany, check out our vacation rentals in the Orcia Valley and pay a visit to the Orcia Wine Festival this April!
Held inside the frescoed halls of Chigi Palace in San Quirico d'Orcia as well as at various other venues in the historic core of the city and at different wineries and vineyards in the region, the four-day wine festival has a diverse offering of events. Guided wine-tastings and purchasing wines at the Orcia Wine Market Exhibition are the central events of the festival, of course, but you can also go on guided tours arranged by some producers at their wineries, go on biking tours through the stunning Orcia Valley and to certain cellars, or go hiking to a winery, enjoy musical performances, and attend special dinners with perfect wine pairings.
Kids, meanwhile, don’t need to be left out as there are special events for them as well! Cooking workshops and art stations mean that the little ones can learn about Tuscan cuisine and get creative and can be left to play with new friends under the watchful eyes of educators while you enjoy the festival.
So, come learn all about Tuscan wine by booking a villa in the Orcia Valley and attending the Orcia Wine Festival in San Quirico d’Orcia this spring.
