Private guided tour departing from INPC Conference hall
Two nights exclusive plan
Chianti Hills and Orcia Valley Tour
with selected wine-tasting 7-9 June 2013
The charming scent of Chianti and
the magic power of Brunello di Montalcino:
which wine will you like the best? Visit an estate whose name is famous all
over the world, walk on the grass of its gardens, admire its ancient buildings, enter the canteen, touch the barrels,
learn about the steps of the production
process while smelling the fragrance of
a many-generation tradition of wine-makers …
Then, get your glass of wine and try
how it matches perfectly the genuine cuisine, Tuscany is famous all over the
world for. In two perfect locations: surrounded by the
vineyards and olive
trees of the Chiantihills and in one of the
nice-tiny villages in Orcia valley.
No doubt a unique chance to
enjoy Tuscany
Beautiful landscapes, magic views, bright colours
Chianti hills and Orcia valley lie just a few kilometers far
away from each other, but are astonishingly different.
Irregular in shape and steepness Chianti hills -
though one and the same in the mixed color of
vineyards and olive trees. Gentle and soft Orcia
valley, since ages the granary of Tuscany - with
red, violet, pink flowers peering out through the
fields... And small towns that stem like
precious gem within the particular landscape.
Which one will touch your heart?

INPC 2013 CHIANTI HILLS AND ORCIA VALLEY ORIGINAL PLAN
Chianti hills, our first step
Radda in Chianti,
the castle town beyond the
vineyards whose walls,
built by the Florentine
Republic in 14th century,
are still visible, with many
ancient buildings
Greve in Chianti,
from ancient times, the largest marketplace of
the Chianti region, still thriving with many
open-air events and the best place to enjoy
traditional salami of one of the best butcher's
in Tuscany
Montefioralle,
whose narrow streets and tight
houses have been perfectly rebuilt as
a precious example of middle-age
overall atmosphere
Castello di
Verrazzano,
the estate once property of the family
of Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first
European to explore, at the
beginning of the 16th century, the
Atlantic coast of North America,
including the New York Bay

INPC 2013 CHIANTI HILLS AND ORCIA VALLEY ORIGINAL PLAN
Orcia valley, our second step
Crete Senesi,
where the grey colouration of
the soil gives the landscape
an appearance often
described as "lunar"
Montalcino,
the town and its Fortress, never conquered
in history, on top of a hill with a
spectacular overview on the 800 acres of
vineyards whose sole grape can be used to
produce Brunello di Montalcino wine
San Quirico d'Orcia,
just in front of the medieval "Pieve" built in bright
sandstone, we will enjoy a selected cuisine worthy of a
cardinal, the perfect match to Brunello
Pienza,
the model Renaissance
town redesigned for the
pope Pius II in 15th
century, with its
elegant Piccolomini
palace, famous for its
cheese, its mysterious
streets and a unique
panoramic-terrace for
breath-taking pictures
of the Orcia valley
