Nature Train ride
When planning a Tuscan trip, check the retro-inspired Nature Train and book ahead, ideally including a journey through Montalcino vineyards or linked to a wine festival. There is usually a good one in April that crosses the gorgeous Val d’Orcia, the Montalcino vineyards and the mysterious clay hillocks of the crete senesi. The vintage (or steam) train service runs from March to December and takes in the best of Siena province – from the Monte Amiata countryside to Chiusi, Siena and the Val d’Orcia. The journey offers a taste of the Tuscan lifestyle, and is often linked to a local festival or food fair, from spring wine fairs to autumn mushroom festivals. Also see the Nature Train guide in Val d’Orcia.
