We will tour the farm starting from the panoramic terrace where you will learn about the history of the 400 year old building, the Chianti region and the current production of our organic farm. We passionately produce wine and olive oil, vegetables, pigs, cows. After the introduction, we will go on a walk through the vineyards and olive groves to see how we tend the vines, work in the fields and, if we are lucky, we will be able to see our special workers in action: Irish Dexter cows. They live freely on our land and help us cut the grass in the vineyards and olive groves, fertilizing at the same time. Once we’re done with the outdoor excursion we will visit the vinsantaia and the cellar where you will be able to learn about the transformation process from grapes into wine. The experience will end by a table, tasting the products we just learned how to produce. A few things to note: -"standard" tour time is about 2 hours, if there are a lot of questions it might take longer. -please write me if you would like to arrange the tour at a different day/time.

My family, my dog, Billo ,and I will guide you in truffle hunting in our beautiful woods in Chianti. Truffle hunting is an ancient tradition in Tuscany, and has only one rule—respect nature. For this reason, it will be necessary to conduct a small briefing before going into the woods, a sacred place for truffle hunters. During the hunt, I will tell you about the truffle, the magic of its traditions, its history, mythology, and uses in the kitchen. You will learn how to recognize and distinguish a good truffle from other fake "truffles" of inferior quality. After the hunt, we will return home for a scheduled lunch or dinner, based on fresh, real truffles and served with our own wine and extra virgin olive oil. We will show you how to clean truffles and prepare typical truffle recipes, such as crostini al tartufo, tagliatelle al tartufo, and more.

Beautiful hiking ring near the Florentine gate of the Casentino and Campigna Forests National Park The San Godenzo Valley is one of the richest in water in the entire Apennines and is considered the "Florentine gate" of the Casentino and Campigna Forests National Park. However, the valley is also known because the famous Florentine Renaissance painter Andrea del Castagno was born here from whom the name of the village of the same name was born. The valley is presented with evocative forests shrouded by crops where water is the real common denominator, in fact it is one of the richest in the Apennines. The steep slopes have been engraved by streams whose springs are scattered a little everywhere forming deep sandstone valleys. Windmills and extensive farmhouses make up the traditional economic chain of the mountain. We will admire the three main waterfalls that form in the shade of the San Godenzo stream: Onda and Calabuia with its jumps and the beautiful muffins of the giants and Pretella where the most adventurous can take a truly wild swim! The tour will take place on Sunday, July 21, departing at 9:30 am. Meeting/sharing for Florence and neighboring areas: Prato, Q8 Prato Est Strada Statale Tosco-Romagnola, 38, 50060 San Godenzo FI, Italy
