Your experience of Siena will not be the same without this introduction!

What better place to indulge in the foods of Italy than in the center of Tuscany, Siena?! Tuscans revel in their culinary heritage, and food is a central part of everyday life. The act of eating is not only for sustenance, but more importantly, a celebration of life itself.

Learn to taste olive oils, why the bread is plain, the importance of origin of wine, the process of balsamic vinegar, the secrects of the recipe of Siena's fruitcake, how truffles are found, the cheese making process, the curious Italian coffee culture and make acquaintance with the Sienese pig, the so-called Cinta Senese... and much more...

We'll introduce you to Siena's best coffee maker - this guy actually blends and roasts his own beans. Maybe not such an exceptional thing in the World today - but as you may know the Italians invented the "espresso" and swear by it! We will discover which is the Italian coffee culture and taste espresso in proper way.

With us you will meet the food artisans of Siena, an encounter that will teach you about the Italian concept of "Slow Food". We will introduce you to Siena's most typical cakes (Panforte & Ricciarelli) in the very best place of town. Come with an appetite and with curiosity and we will try to fullfill both. We aim to bring travelers to the town’s best foods, educating them as they eat the best Siena has to offer. We offer these walking tours thrice a week, as well as special private tours upon request (only when shop openings allow it).

This tour combines the essentials of the Italian diet into an experience full of food, fun, and facts that you may have never imagined. Please note that our walking tour is not a guided tour of of Siena (so don't expect non food related information to be given). This tour offers a chance to not only taste, but learn about Tuscany’s wealth of foods. See how they tie into local Tuscan culture and history, and enjoy every delicious bite.

What will you taste? Cheese, cold cuts, cakes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, wines, coffee, truffle, saffron, chocolate...
