Nestled in the heart of southern Tuscany, Val d’Orcia is one of Italy’s most breathtaking regions and a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. With rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and medieval hill towns, it’s the Tuscany you imagine- and the reason we chose this magical place to celebrate. At the very heart of Val d’Orcia lies Pienza, a charming Renaissance town surrounded by vineyards, golden fields, and sweeping countryside views. We encourage you to take time to explore both Pienza’s historic streets and the stunning landscapes that make this region truly unforgettable.

From golden wheat fields to vineyards and olive groves, Val d’Orcia is postcard-perfect. Walk, drive, or bike through the countryside to experience some of Tuscany’s most iconic scenery.

Savor Local Flavors
