where your host will introduce you to the land and its rhythms — the vines, the trees, and the seasons that shape everything on the table. You will visit the semi-wild enclosure where the Cinta Senese pigs live freely — a rare heritage breed from the Siena area, recognisable by its striking black coat and distinctive white belt. Your host will tell you the story of this ancient breed, once at risk of extinction, and why its preservation matters.
