Enjoy an authentic experience in the heart of Tuscany on a guided tour of Fattoria L'Arco, an estate located in Vinci, the medieval village where Leonardo da Vinci was born, about twelve miles west of Florence. Nestled in the Chianti landscape, this experience takes you through vineyards, a winery, and local flavours, in a setting rich in charm, history, and tradition.
The experience begins with a welcome aperitif featuring sparkling wine, the perfect way to immediately immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the estate and start your visit with a moment of relaxation and conviviality. From here, your guided tour of the vineyards will begin, where you will learn more about the region and the characteristics that make this area so special. The estate covers approximately 197 acres, 113 of which are planted with vineyards, and boasts a unique terroir characterised by an extraordinary morphological diversity. Here, the soil exhibits a variety of hues, including white pumice, tuff ranging from yellow to garnet red, and black volcanic rock, all of which contribute to the identity and character of the wines produced at the winery.
Your guided tour will continue inside the winery, where you will learn more about the estate’s production philosophy and the connection between innovation, tradition, and the enhancement of the local area. One of the most special aspects of this experience is that the wines and extra-virgin olive oil you will taste are all organic, an authentic expression of the land and of the farm’s commitment to quality production that respects the local area and nature.
At the end of the tour, a final tasting awaits you, designed to showcase the region through its most authentic flavours. You will be able to savour typical local products paired with organic wines from Fattoria L’Arco, along with organic extra virgin olive oil produced directly by the farm, for an even more comprehensive and authentic experience. The tasting will conclude with Vin Santo, served alongside typical local desserts, for an elegant finish that is perfectly in keeping with Tuscan tradition.
This guided tour is ideal for couples, friends, and curious travellers who want to experience Tuscany in a more authentic way, discovering a winery surrounded by nature and closely connected to one of the region's most iconic locations. This is the perfect experience for those who love the Tuscan landscape and the flavours of this land, offering moments to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, with taste and authenticity.
