Florence in Autumn – The Country Life: Harvest the fruits & sample the fruits of labor.

Written By Admin

Experience Tuscan farm life by participating in grape or olive harvesting in the Chianti. Depart from Florence via Minivan to a typical farm in Greve where, after an explanation of the day’s task, you will help with the gathering of either olives for oil or grapes for wine production. You’ll also receive an explanation of how the fruits of your labor go from their natural state to finished product. End the experience with a wine tasting and light lunch where you will have the opportunity to sample the farm’s own olive oil and wine; the context of which will be all the more poignant after having held the raw materials in your own hands. You will have the satisfaction having done a good day’s work and of knowing that, someday, someone will taste the fruits of your labor! All products are available for purchase. Comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for the country required..
