Magnificent experience to discover! - The tour is simply incredible: good organization and great discoveries for adults and children! From the production of olive oil to its tasting, everything was perfect, very well explained, in a magnificent setting!
Then, Da Vinci's house: a very pleasant little visit and always these beautiful landscapes…
Finally the wine tasting with charcuterie (for children there are sandwiches available): detailed explanations, friendly atmosphere, very good products! Just GREAT!
If you want a different experience, not too far from Florence, don’t hesitate!

A very special day - My husband, our eight-year-old, and I had a really nice day on this tour.
The tour was well-organized from start to finish. The driver was right on time at the pick-up spot and took us to a place near Vinci where they make olive oil. The people there were friendly and informative, showing us the entire olive oil production process. What surprised us was the unexpected olive oil tasting experience, and it was quite enjoyable.
Following that, we visited Leonardo da Vinci's house and had a wine tasting session with the winemakers and a sommelier who explained the wines to us. Some of the wines had received national awards, and you could definitely taste their quality. We ended up buying five different bottles.
Overall, it was a lovely day that combined learning and indulgence, leaving us with some great memories and a few bottles of delicious wine.
