Itinerary

  1. 1

    Impruneta

    2 hours

    Impruneta is the historic heart of Tuscan terracotta, famous for its uniquely mineral-rich clay — prized for centuries for its strength, warmth retention, and natural beauty. During this immersive visit, guests step inside a traditional kiln, learn every stage of terracotta production directly from the owners, and try shaping clay themselves alongside master artisans. The experience starts with a small homemade cake and hot tea, creating an intimate cultural moment rooted in craftsmanship, heritage, and slow Tuscan living.

  2. 2

    Podere La Marronaia- Le Colonne Biodynamic Winery & Farm

    2 min

    Set among the rolling hills of San Gimignano, this saffron-inspired lunch celebrates Tuscany’s most precious spice in a seasonal, farm-driven menu. Guests enjoy a guided tasting of biodynamic wines, extra virgin olive oil, and aged balsamic vinegar, all produced on the estate. Each course is thoughtfully paired to highlight local flavors and terroir, offering a relaxed yet refined countryside experience. More than a meal, it’s a sensory journey through vineyard views, authentic hospitality, and the vibrant taste of Tuscan tradition.

    San Gimignano

    1 hour

    San Gimignano is one of Tuscany’s most iconic hill towns, famous for its medieval towers, cobbled streets, and sweeping countryside views. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a perfect blend of history, artisan shops, local flavors, and panoramic viewpoints.
