Enjoy wine in a pinturesque landscape: Drive along the 'Strada del Vino' and taste (and buy) wine and olive oil directly from the farmers. Of special interest for wine lovers is the small city of Montalcino with its gorgeous old city district. It is the origin of one of Italy’s best wines: 'Brunello di Montalcino', which is matured in oak barrels and can be tasted everywhere on site and in the surroundings. You might combine a dégustation with a walk, a several hour hiking tour or a bicycle tour through Maremma's original landscape (rides). A special attraction are the hot water springs of Saturnia and Petriolo (bathing options). Massa Marittima is, due to its central location, best suitable for restful purposes and is located near to the sea and serves as a starting point for the sightseeing of famous Tuscan cities.
