Hike & wine tour in Mugello
An authentic experience that combines active hiking with great food and wines into the Tuscan countryside
Enjoy a scenic active 5-kilometer hike in the Tuscan countryside, a little slice of heaven a few steps out of Florence and into Mugello area. Visit a family-run organic farm and experience the local organic wine and the extra-virgin olive oil.
Nature lovers can get out and spend some hours hiking in the Tuscan hills along silent country roads, through vineyards, olive groves and medieval villages, immersed in a land rich in history, where the Etruscan and Roman people lived in the past.
Halfway through the hike you'll stop at the agricultural estate, meet the winemakers and learn about their own specific methods and approaches to winemaking. You have the opportunity to visit the vineyard, the cellar and take your time to sit, relax and enjoy the wine and extra-virgin olive oil tasting while the owner explains their characteristics.
You have also the opportunity to taste a typical Tuscan light lunch with local meats, cheese and Tuscan bread with extra-virgin olive oil.
You can easily reach the meeting place by train from Firenze S.M.Novella station to Dicomano (about 50 min scenic journey through the countryside). Ask me for the train schedule. Ask me for any information or special request you need.
