Gourmet Tour - Volterra & Tuscan Sheep Farming

DETALLES

  • 61/2
    horas Duración estimada
  • Comida

Settle in for a spectacularly scenic drive into the Tuscan countryside to visit the ancient walled city of Volterra and a sheep farm that still practices traditional methods. Perched above the desolate surrounding terrain, Volterra appears timeless, one of the reasons it was chosen as the setting for parts of the vampire-themed “Twilight” books. While meandering the atmospheric streets and plazas, you will view highlights such as Tuscany’s oldest town hall and the Piazza dei Priori, a medieval square lined with grand palaces. Nearby, you will enjoy an insider’s tour of a sheep farm. Much of their milk is used to make Pecorino Balze Volterrane, a Protected Designation of Origin cheese. Although it can be eaten after just three weeks of aging, longer aging lends it a spicier flavor. You can expect to sample the cheese as well as other local delicacies.

• See the sights in the medieval town of Volterra on an enlightening walking tour.
