Vald'O Art Book & Wine In San quirico d'orcia

A precious place...I've known it for a long time, I come here every now and then for an aperitivo, and every time it confirms its special character for both locals and tourists: not just wine and food, but conversation, books, local culture, a timeless experience, and a spacious setting where you can live and share. If you're in the area, you MUST stop here!

Dear Valentina and Antonio, you have a very nice and cozy place! Also your shop catches the eye:) Unfortunately, you were closed when me and my husband were few times in San Quirico during our honeymoon. We wanted to buy this painting as a reminder of our happy time in Tuscany. If there is any chance you could sell it and send to Austria, it would be the best gift for my husband to our first anniversary :)

A warm and welcoming place, perfect for a break, a chat with the lovely owner, a drink of fine wine, and a taste of Tuscan products! A gentle and slow break, not to mention the unique bookstore. A marvel ♥️ Claude and Romy

A unique and precious experience: Antonio and Valentina proved to be much more than just the owners: friendly, helpful, and exceptionally kind... I consider them friends, as we had so many points of contact. Our shared feeling made my husband and I feel at home, in the company of people we've known for a long time. This original winery dedicates ample space to the local area and books—in short, to beauty. Even the dishes reflect their care and love for the authentic flavors of this wonderful valley. We'll be back as soon as we can!

My husband and I went for a casual aperitivo. We were enchanted by the place, both for the delicious food and wine, but especially for the super-friendly owners, who tell you about their business and offer tons of local tips, always with a strong focus on ethics and community support. A must-have if you're in the area.

Unfortunately, we only stopped here for a quick break, but that was enough to make us happy! The first time we found it closed, we were discouraged (and a little angry), but curiosity won out: we really wanted to return because it piqued our curiosity, and we weren't disappointed! It's not your typical "tourist attraction." This place is very well-kept, and we're happy to have been guests.

Vald'o, Antonio and Valentina's literary winery project is an unmissable place to stop when visiting San Quirico d'Orcia, relaxing and full of content. Visit it, here you are welcomed with courtesy and opinions are exchanged, positive short circuits are created between people. The cultural meetings they organize are always interesting, their literary editions with refined graphics make you think, and that's no small thing. Highly recommended to attend it.
