Spring Tour... and more!
Spring awakens the Val d’Orcia with its colors and scents, transforming this iconic landscape of Tuscany into a true paradise for lovers of nature and culture. In this enchanting setting, the bicycle is the ideal means to fully immerse yourself in the magic of the valley: pedaling along the white roads and panoramic paths allows you to savor every detail of this breathtaking landscape, to discover hidden corners and to live an authentic experience in contact with nature. The slow pace of the bicycle allows you to capture the quiet of the medieval villages, to admire the harmony of the isolated farmhouses and to breathe deeply the healthy air of the countryside.
To make the cycling experience even easier and more enjoyable, the Teatro Povero of Monticchiello, the beating heart of the cultural and social life of the Val d’Orcia, has reopened its Ciclofficine del Teatro in the spa town of Bagno Vignoni. This valuable service represents a fundamental point of reference for cyclists of all levels, offering a well-equipped place where you can best prepare your bicycle before embarking on an excursion, carry out small repairs if necessary or simply receive useful advice from experts. The passion for the territory and attention to visitors are reflected in this initiative that promotes slow and sustainable tourism, in harmony with the values of the Teatro Povero.
After an exciting day spent on your bike, exploring the wonders of the Val d’Orcia, there is no better way to conclude the experience than with a stop at the Emporio of Teatro Povero in Monticchiello. Located in the heart of this charming medieval village inside the ancient Granai, the emporium represents a true showcase of the excellence of the territory, offering a curated selection of artisanal products and local gastronomic specialties.
Among the choices of the Emporio, our Oppio Novo products stand out, a varied range designed to satisfy different tastes and needs: such as our organic honey, lavender flowers and sugar, saffron and oil from the past season. Buying and tasting our products can only be the beginning of a complete tour, to come and visit our Company and see the various processing phases up close.
