The Pisa area, apart from boasting internationally renowned artistic treasures, also offers exciting possibilities in lesser known places sprinkled throughout the territory. Such villages and towns are to be found on our Pisan Hills Wine Trail: San Miniato, Palaia, La Rotta, Peccioli, Laiatico, Terricciola, Lari, Crespina, Fauglia, Lorenzana, Casciana Terme and Chianni.

This is also an ideal itinerary for those who prefer to use means other than the car. (see the city of Pisa)
