Horseback Ride, Farm Visit and Lunch at Fattoria Madonna della Querce

Immerse yourself in the heart of the Tuscan countryside with a one-of-a-kind experience that blends nature, animals, and authentic local flavors. Your journey begins at Fattoria Madonna della Querce, perfectly situated between Montepulciano and the Val d’Orcia. After a warm welcome, you’ll meet your guide and gentle horses, ready to accompany you on a peaceful ride through vineyards, olive groves, and ancient country paths. As you ride, the stunning Tuscan scenery unfolds—rolling hills, elegant cypress trees, and centuries-old farmhouses that seem lifted from a painting.

When you return to the farm, the adventure continues with a guided visit to meet the Cinta Senese pigs, a heritage breed native to Tuscany. You’ll learn about their care, the farm’s sustainable practices, and the artisanal methods used to produce traditional Tuscan delicacies. The experience concludes with a delicious, full Tuscan lunch made from fresh farm ingredients, featuring classic dishes such as bruschetta, ribollita or panzanella, cured meats from the farm, Pecorino di Pienza cheeses, and cantucci with vinsanto for dessert.
