About this experience
I will be waiting for you at the gates of the village of Vinci to embark together on a journey in the footsteps of Leonardo, the great Tuscan genius. Along the path, among olive groves, vineyards and dreamy views, we will visit an ancient wine farm (check availability) and its cellars and discover the secrets of the art of winemaking. Reached the Leccio di Faltognano, a wonderful monumental tree, we will enjoy the view of the Arno Valley and the Chianti hills. We will then continue the journey to Vinci, passing through the museum centers dedicated to Leonardo: the Birthplace and the Leonardian Museums in the heart of the village of Vinci, our final destination.
