We will meet near Monteriggioni (about 20 minutes drive from Siena), a unique castle surrounded by beautiful countryside, which has been playing a basic role in the regional history. Sitting in front of a good cappuccino, we’ll decide our route between a range of possible hikes (from 3 to 8 km) to explore the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrim road which leads to the Vatican city. The area is fulfilled with amazing views, nature, history and local traditions. After the hike in the countryside we will conquer the castle, but more is yet to come: walk along the top of the walls and try medieval weapons in the historic museum! I will give you some good tips for the rest of your day in Monteriggioni and the surrounding area. Other things to note Wear proper shoes with good tread. Depending on the season bring hat, sunscreen, raincoat/umbrella.

During the visit to our organic vineyards we will go through all the main steps of the agronomic, phenolic and organic cycle in order to understand the complexity of the “vineyard” ecosystem and of an agriculture with low environmental impact. We will then move to our historical cellar where we will discover the chemical-physical and microbiological processes that make a quality production. We will continue our journey moving to the sensorial tasting room to grasp the organoleptic complexity of our wines and have a better understanding of them. The visit will end up with a light-lunch to experience the emotions that the right combination food/wine can offer to our palate and to our spirit!

During my cooking class, you will be able to immediately immerse yourself in a familiar and informal atmosphere, also thanks to the warm and welcoming ways of Mamma Nora. Before you know it, you will find yourself with an apron around your neck and ready to be part of her kitchen! After a welcome toast with a good glass of wine, we will begin our interactive cooking class. You will discover and learn the secrets of homemade pasta (Ravioli), how to prepare a good savory sauce (Butter and sage) to accompany it and make one of the most famous Italian desserts known all over the world : Tiramisu. Of course the menu can change according to guests's requests. We will cook together using mainly our all organic products, starting from the eggs of my hens. we will use flours of ancient Tuscan grains and above all we will cook with seasonal vegetables as they did in the past. We will use the outdoor kitchen, under the country porch of my house that overlooks the garden. We will visit the garden to pick up some herbs, and for the brave ones, there will be a visit to our chicken coop! Once finished working, we will set the table and we will finally enjoy our wonderfully prepared meals. Other things to note Please, bring a lot of joy! We will spend the day together so It is forbidden to be sad! In summer, as we are in the country side, please wear long trousers and closed shoes... or bring mosquitos repellent cream. Please, advise me in advance, if you have special requests or in case of intollerances

Visiteremo insieme l'azienda San Giorgio a Lapi. Partiremo con una breve passeggiata per visitare la piccola chiesetta del 1100 dove all'interno potremo ammirare un affresco storico del San Giorgio. Durante la passeggiata visiteremo le vigne e scopriremo la filosofia aziendale oltre ad avere una magnifica vista su tutto il territorio circostante e scoprire così i vari volti della campagna Senese dal zona del Chianti Classico alle Crete Senesi. Proseguiremo la visita seguendo i passaggi della raccolta dell'uva fino alla formazione del vino e della sua maturazione. Infine degusteremo i vini del Chianti Colli Senesi e del Chianti Classico per imparare le loro proprietà e le loro caratteristiche e scoprire così il territorio all'interno del vino. Altre cose da tenere a mente Per avere l'esperienza soltanto in italiano, o se avete esigenze diverse di orari prima di prenotare potete scriverci e troveremo una soluzione. In caso di pioggia non sarà possibile partecipare all'esperienza.
