During harvest season, from mid-September to mid-November, some areas may be reserved for guided visits. At Santa Fiora, you can stroll through the village and then see the Peschiera, an old trout pond turned water garden. Very close by too, Castel del Piano is a few kilometers away for a short stroll. Plan on a car to combine these stops easily; buses exist, but their schedules are not always convenient for improvising.
