This unique experience combines the traditional art of cheese-making with the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and the cultural charm of Pienza.

During approximately 5 hours at the farm, you will join the expert cheesemaker, where you will learn about the process of making Pecorino cheese, from milking the sheep to fermentation and aging. He will guide you through every step, offering a hands-on demonstration.

The tour includes a visit to the farm’s stables and dairy facilities, where you will witness the production of fresh Pecorino cheese. Enjoy a delicious 3 course meal featuring traditional Tuscan dishes, including a selection of Pecorino cheeses, accompanied by local wine.

You will also visit Pienza, a UNESCO World Heritage town known for its Renaissance architecture and breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. You will enjoy stunning views of the rolling hills of the Val d'Orcia, another UNESCO World Heritage site.
