This is a fascinating and very different activity to the usual tourist itinerary Roberto is running his small farm on a mainly self sufficient and sustainable basis and his care and enthusiasm shines through in every aspect from his pride in his small olive grove and vineyard to his love and caring for his highly prized pigs. After the farm tour an excellent Tuscan lunch is served washed down with wine fro Roberto's vineyard. A real treat for pig lovers and foodies alike. One tip, make sure you are given the full address of the farm as the Trip Advisor app gives a code for the centre of Montepulciano which is a few miles away

This was so much fun! We drove to the farm being thankful for the GPS directions. After driving on a very curvy road we turned onto a long rock road through the olive orchards. Roberto the owner gave us a tour of his olive trees as his father was picking the olives. Then we got to meet the pigs. Their are big ones & baby ones all happily acting like pigs. There is one huge male pig that seems very happy. There are babies two weeks old that were acting like little black & white puppies. The farm is neat & clean with no bad smells. Then we visited his barn with hanging prosciutto & other cuts of meat. Next we sat at a table looking over the farm & the valley eating different cuts of meat, ribioilita, and cheeses. We also had a great homemade white wine. This adventure was well worth the cost.
