Things to do: Agriturismo near Siena in Toscana, Colle Val d'Elsa
Things to do
Cooking class, then we eat like family!
A different experience than usual, to immerse yourself in the real Tuscan country life. Two hours in the company of our housewives, to learn how to prepare traditional regional and Italian dishes, from appetizers to desserts. Any examples? You will cook tomato bruschetta or panzanella, homemade pasta, ragù and tiramisu. Learning how to make pici, the typical pasta of the Sienese tradition, has never been so tasty.
Our cooks will guide you in this short Tuscan cooking course, from theory through practice... up to the most awaited moment, the tasting. Everything you prepare… will also be what you eat, accompanying it with our wines. You will leave with a full stomach, and your hands will not be empty either: you will take our family recipes home with you.
Desserts together: Tuscan cakes and biscuits at tea time
Our cook with a passion for sweets will guide you on a hands-on journey to discover one of the most traditional activities in Italy: making sweets at home. From the ideal cantucci with tea and Vin Santo, to the delicious tarts for breakfast or as a snack. Unique moments of sharing, perfect for adults and children.
Pizza and focaccia, cooked and enjoyed in company
This Farmhose doesn't just serve typical Tuscan food: we have a sweet tooth for everything, even pizza! By choosing to have this experience, you will knead with us, you will fill your pizzas and focaccias and then you will eat them with great satisfaction. Make way for the imagination, to range from classic tastes to more creative combinations.
Visit to the farm and tastings in Tuscany
Would you like to discover the history of an ancient Tuscan village and explore the products of an authentic farmhouse in Chianti? In this Agriturismo you can: we will take you on a walk around our farm, we will tell you about its origins and show you the fields, vineyards and olive groves that we cultivate with dedication. You will also participate in the visit of our Tuscan cellar and the oil mill where we produce the oil you will taste. Yes, because the experience ends with a real "Tuscan tasting" of our products.
From the mill to the bruschetta: oil tasting in Tuscany
Extra virgin olive oil is a treasure of goodness and well-being. If you are curious to get to know him up close, this is the experience for you. In this estate we take you on a walk inside the medieval village and in our fields. Between historical stories and exploration of agricultural productions, it will then be time for a visit to our oil mill. The culmination, however, will be the tasting of Tuscan oil, produced by us, enhanced by crunchy bread and accompanied by a glass of excellent wine.
Light lunch with Tuscan wine tasting
Do you want to have lunch in a farmhouse in Chianti but not in the classic restaurant? We offer you the opportunity to enjoy a light lunch on the veranda accompanied by a tasting of Tuscan wines. Before lunch we will show you our small and picturesque village, the land we cultivate and the products we make from it. After that, all you have to do is rely on our sommelier, who will guide you in pairing food and wine for a mouth-watering experience.
Picnic in the countryside and wine tasting in Tuscany
To spend a beautiful day outdoors away from the daily routine, there is nothing more effective than a picnic in the countryside. Even better if it's accompanied by a tasting of Tuscan wines, don't you think? In this Agriturismo you can do all of this, and also combine it with a visit to our farm. After completing the guided walk and having tasted two of our wines, you will receive the basket for your picnic in Tuscany and a map of the estate which shows you where the tables and benches are located where you can enjoy your meal. If you prefer, you can also choose to have a real picnic in the vineyard by taking a seat among the rows for an even more authentic experience.
Olive picking and lunch with tasting
Between October and November you can participate in a special event: the olive harvest. The experience consists of a walk of about 30 minutes to reach the estate's olive grove, where you will pick the olives with us for about 2 hours. At the end of the activity we will return together to the village where you will visit the working oil mill. Finally, you will be able to enjoy a well-deserved lunch with a tasting of our wines.
Tuscan yellow gold: from saffron to risotto
Another magic happens on this farm between October and November: the saffron blooms. With a walk of about 10 minutes we will take you to our field which turns into a sea of purple petals, where we will collect the precious saffron pistils together. With patience we will learn how to clean them and obtain the famous, exclusive and tasty yellow saffron. Get ready to taste its aroma, intense as never before.
