Truffle and Leonardo Tour

Meet your driver in the hotel lobby and depart for the first excursion dedicated to “Searching Truffle.” With an expert truffle gatherer from the Tuscan hills and their inseparable dog, you will embark on a walk in the woods with them. This will be an opportunity to discover the hidden “treasure” of the Tuscany woods and learn about the dog’s training methods. After the walk, experts will explain the working processes and uses of truffles, followed by a wonderful tasting lunch of truffle dishes at a real truffle factory. You will truly understand why this incredible Earth product is called the “White Gold.” The next stop will be an oil mill for a tasting of extra virgin olive oil, typical of Leonardo’s land. Experienced workers will explain the oil processing methods, and you will have the chance to taste high-quality products resulting from a precise selection of olives, collected directly from the trees and carefully chosen according to a centuries-old tradition. On the way back to your accommodation, you will make a stop in Vinci. Driving along the beautiful street lined with olive trees in the countryside, you will arrive at the foot of Leonardo’s house, a typical ancient colonial house in the Anchiano area. Take your free time to visit the house from the inside and admire the “Renaissance lands.” Continuing to the historical center of Vinci, you can visit the Leonardiano Museum, where you can see some of the genius’ most beautiful inventions, such as the Motor Carriage, the Articulated Wings (an intuition of the modern hang-glider), the Revolving Crane, the Crank-Operated Cart, the Diver, and more. At the end of the tour, your personal driver will return you to your location.
