When we think of Tuscany, a clear image appears in our mind: beautiful landscapes marked by green hills, full of vineyards and olive trees; roads lined with cypresses; lovely villas; as well as small towns to overflow culture and endowed with unique Roman and Etruscan heritage. And because we speak of an Italian region, we can not ignore the delicious traditional cuisine and the incredible wines, of course.
Our trip will focus more on Val d'Orcia. The region is crossed by the river Orcia, from which derives the name of the valley, and is between the provinces of Siena and Grosseto. The whole area is now a protected park and has been recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2004. The main protagonist of the Val d 'Orcia is actually a pristine and beautiful nature with ever changing colors depending on the various seasons.
There are very few other places that impress so deeply. It is almost surreal and suspended, which also gave rise to the most valued and appreciated Italian wines: Brunello di Montalcino, Nobile di Montepulciano, Rosso D'Orcia, and other fabulous DOCG wines.

FAQs
What support will I have from photographic leaders?
Be aware that the leaders are not tour guides. However, by the knowledge of the places, they will provide the historical information related that they are aware of. The main job of the leaders is the organization of the trip, the management of the times and routes so that all can be in the right place at the right time. They will be 100% of the time with the participants.
Will I have some photographic support of the leaders?
A photo trip is not like a workshop where leaders are totally focused on the participants. In this trip, the leaders will photograph side by side with the participants, and share with the group the frames, composition and settings. They will be available to help those who need it.

No. All driving is assured. You just have to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of the landscape.
