This square is the symbolic heart of Siena, deeply loved by locals who gather here to enjoy its lively yet timeless atmosphere. Framed by historic buildings, it sets the scene for our culinary journey. In a welcoming local setting, we’ll gather around a traditional Sienese chopping board, the true centerpiece of local conviviality, and enjoy a generous selection of locally produced cured meats and pecorino cheeses made from sheep’s milk of the surrounding countryside, ranging from delicately seasoned salumi to aged cheeses with deeper, more complex aromas, each shaped by land, climate, and time. As Italy is the homeland of wine, the hills surrounding Siena offer some of its most authentic expressions, and during the tasting you’ll sample carefully selected local wines that showcase different grape varieties, soils, and winemaking traditions, with each glass revealing the role wine plays in everyday Tuscan life and perfectly complementing the flavors on the board.
