Next, we travel just 40 minutes from Cortona to a picturesque local farm nestled in the heart of Tuscany. Here, Cinta Senese pigs roam semi-wild, thriving on natural feed. Stroll among olive trees and vineyards before savouring the farm's exceptional products in a tasting board we have organised for you —cured meats and bruschetta made from garden-fresh ingredients, paired with their own wine. This unforgettable experience will leave lasting memories.
