Experience Details

Join The Red Road Tour for a once-in-a-lifetime hike, followed by a wine, cheese, and cured meat tasting with a local and fully licensed guide.


We will walk in the footsteps of the Etruscans, the ancient people who inhabited the ancient lands of Marrema, immersing ourselves in the vie cave (ancient streets dug into the tufaceous rock that reaches a depth of 25 meters) and following a circular route of about 6 km (3.7 miles.)


Experience the secret walkways, caves, and tombs of these people who dug the paths to connect with the necropolises, also known as the ancient cities of the dead.


The tour will end with a visit to a private historic cellar (featured in National Geographic) with a wine tasting and sampling of local cured meats and cheeses.


The entire excursion will be an experiential journey that will involve the 5 senses, allowing you to experience and savor all the history and uniqueness of a territory.

Our hike will be about 3 hours as we descend to the bottom of the valley below and follow the course of the river for a short stretch. We will then go back up to the plateau in front of Pitigliano through unique historical monuments known as Vie Cave. These are real canyons dug by hand by the Etruscan people for religious and road purposes.
