Introducing Val D'Orcia (Part 1)

Green rolling hills, conviviality and silence

Ever wonder how I put together a new tour of the Tuscan countryside?

On my last trip to Italy, I was researching a new itinerary in the Val D’Orcia region, south of Siena. In this next set of videos, I’m going to bring you along while I walk through green rolling hills, explore ancient villages, and eat amazing food, looking for the perfect experiences to share with my guests on my upcoming Val D’Orcia tour.

You’ll get to see all of this for yourself, but here’s what I’m looking for:

- the chance to get to know people who live and work in that place, and who have a deep commitment to it. 

- beautiful scenery that fills you with wonder

- convivial experiences that you’ll treasure

- delicious food

- learning how food is prepared by getting your hands dirty and doing it yourself. Not too dirty — this is a vacation! — but enough that the food is so much more meaningful when you eat it later.

Have you ever been to Val D’Orcia? What was the highlight for you?
