Escape to the heart of Tuscany! This unforgettable Tuscan adventure begins in Florence, where a private driver whisks you away to a charming family farm just 35 minutes outside the city. Get ready for a day filled with authentic experiences!
**First, a sensory journey through the countryside:** Stroll through rolling hills dotted with ancient olive groves and vineyards. Breathe in the fresh air, admire the breathtaking views, learn about the farm's rich history, and capture stunning photos. You might even meet our resident pig – he’s quite the character! And if you're lucky enough to visit in September, you'll get to sample the grapes straight from the vine.
**Next, indulge your taste buds:** Descend into the cellar for a wine tasting experience like no other. Sample five organic Tuscan wines – crisp whites, robust reds, and the luscious sweetness of Vin Santo – all enjoyed directly from the barrel. We’ll also treat you to a tasting of our exquisite olive oil and share a captivating short film about our farm's philosophy. You'll have the chance to purchase wines at cellar prices or arrange for shipping directly to your home.
**Finally, get your hands dirty (and your appetite ready!):** Join Raffaella or Laura for a fun and interactive fresh pasta-making class. Learn the secrets to creating perfect spaghetti and ravioli, then savor the fruits of your labor during a delightful meal shared with fellow travelers at a long, convivial table – just like a true Italian family gathering! Enjoy unlimited wine and the company of our friendly hosts.
