Full description
If your idea of leisure time doesn’t involve noisy machinery, you’ll find something to your liking here – or rather, wine to suit your palate!
Come and enjoy a tasting of exceptional wines at the Le Buche winery in the province of Siena: you’ll stroll through the vineyards, tour the cellar and savour three glasses of wine paired with bruschetta made with locally sourced extra virgin olive oil, DOP pecorino cheese and local cured meats.
Get ready to unwind with a toast and some stunning views!
What we will do
The tour takes place at the selected time at the Le Buche winery in Sarteano, in the province of Siena, set against the stunning backdrop of the Tuscan countryside. We will be welcomed by our guide, who will be ready to show us around the estate and reveal the history of the winery and the distinctive characteristics of the grape varieties grown there.
We’ll begin with a stroll through the vineyards, during which we’ll discover the origins of it all and a production philosophy based exclusively on manual labour, without the use of machinery. We’ll then proceed into the fermentation room to understand the first delicate stages of must transformation. The tour will continue inside the evocative ageing cellar, where we’ll discover the secrets of wine ageing and the different types of barrels used for maturation.
Finally, we’ll take our seats in the tasting room for the most eagerly awaited part of the tour. We’ll taste three glasses of the winery’s award-winning wines: the Coreno Orcia DOC Bianco, the well-rounded Le Buche Orcia DOC made from Sangiovese, and the prestigious Memento Orcia DOC Riserva, aged for a minimum of 24 months.
During our tasting, we’ll also be served bruschetta with locally sourced extra virgin olive oil, produced directly at the La Sovana farmhouse’s oil mill. Furthermore, we’ll be treated to a delicious platter of PDO pecorino cheeses and local cured meats.
The experience will last approximately 60 minutes in total.
