South of Siena lies the Val d'Orcia - a picture-book landscape with flat plains, guarded by a cohort of cypresses, and cone-shaped hills at the top of which a small town, a monastery, a castle or a vineyard dominates.

The wines produced in the wineries - mostly red from the Sangiovese grape, but also rosé and white wine - have had PDO status since 2000 as a controlled designation of origin.
And since 2009 their own wine festival.

This is celebrated in San Quirico d'Orcia: A community of 2000 souls, known in Tuscany – a region already rich in sights - for its many churches and portals: for example the Collegiata church or the Chiesa della Madonna or the Santa Maria Assunta in the town centre.

The event takes place every year in April - of course with guided wine tastings.
With a gala dinner and a market of typical regional products. With a children's and cultural programme.
