If you missed the big news, JOM and Lady Gravel Cyclist (aka LGC) joined Trek Travel for their Gravel Bike Tour in the Tuscany region, which began on May 29, 2023 and ended on June 2nd, 2023.

Day Four

Pedal through Val d’Orcia and enjoy Farm-to-Table Dining

“Rise today with a cappuccino in preparation for some of the region’s most stunning views. Our ride today takes us to the hills of Val d’Orcia. The Val d’Orcia is an incredible agricultural landscape that is a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its continued adherence to Renaissance layout and aesthetic. It is like cycling inside a painting!”

“You’ll continue through the medieval villages of San Quirico d’Orcia and Pienza, with buildings dating to the 15th century and epic views from every hilltop. Don’t forget to stop and savor the scenery and maybe even take a few pictures before we head back to the hotel. Tonight, we celebrate a week’s worth of memories with a special dinner prepared with seasonal ingredients sourced straight from the hotel farm and perfectly paired with select local vintages. We’ll toast together and recap the highlights of an incredible week!”

Featured Meal at Il Passaggio Restaurant

“The restaurant at Capanna Suites, our luxury farm stay, is set in a marvellous panoramic and inviting atmosphere and it offers a unique experience for all the senses. Our Chef will prepare a seasonal, locally focused menu with the ingredients from the farm. Tasting such incredible gourmet cuisine, paired with bottles from farm’s extensive wine cellar, is a culinary joy and evening to remember.”
