About the Crete Senesi
The Crete Senesi region stretches out southwest of the city of Siena .
The region takes its name from the clay-rich soil, which makes up most of
its uniquely beautiful rolling hills.
These often barren or treeless hills are cultivated mostly with wheat, its
changing colors passing from the palest
green of winter wheat to living gold and on to the reddish brown of freshly
tilled earth. Driving through this
region is like travelling through a postcard. At the far end of the Crete
Senesi the vineyards of Montepulciano
come to life: home to world-famous wineries such as Avignonesi and Poliziano.
This tour strives to combine the intense flavors of local cheese and wine
with the breathtaking beauty
of the region. In a land where taste and sight are one and you can truly feast
with your eyes.
