La Taverna

Val d'Orcia


Occupying a vaulted cellar where oak barriques filled with Brunello were once aged, this elegant restaurant offers a menu of traditional but refined Tuscan cuisine. The wine list is limited to choices from the estate, but there are plenty to choose from. A 3-/4-/5-course tasting menu with matched wines and a guided tour of the estate is also on offer.
