Description

Meet in central Florence for a private transfer to the farm in Fucecchio. The experience combines three activities in one day:

1. Countryside Walk: Explore vineyards, olive trees, and the botanical garden while learning about the farm’s history. In September, seasonal grapes can be sampled straight from the vine. You may also encounter the farm’s pet pig.

2. Wine Cellar Visit & Tasting: Tour the wine cellar to sample 5 organic Tuscan wines, both white and red, aged in barrels, plus traditional Vin Santo. Taste the farm’s extra virgin olive oil and watch a short video about their production methods. Wines are available for purchase at cellar prices or shipment worldwide.

3. Fresh Pasta Making: Learn to make pasta varieties like tortelli or ravioli with professional chefs. The pasta is cooked collectively and enjoyed at a long table accompanied by more wine and a host ensuring a welcoming atmosphere, replicating an Italian family meal.

Groups are limited to 20 participants to facilitate interaction. Optional roundtrip transportation from Florence city centre is available at €20 per person, payable by card directly to the driver. This avoids the return train journey and uses a private 20-passenger minibus.
