Buongiorno thank you for your request. These two tours have a focus on Andrea Bocelli but they do not imply a visit to his farm. We have a special program that is focused right around it. Email us for all details.

We stayed at the hotel San Lino in Volterra recommended by Ariana and friends. It was very nice but I am not sure how close it is for the tours.

Hello! Yes, our cooking classes are really good for children. The 4 year old one will need just a chair to stand on!

Hello, thank you for your question. The area of San Miniato and the area of Palaia border each other, since they both belong to the truffle growing district of central Tuscany. In the area of Palaia we meet one truffle hunter whereas in the area of San Miniato we meet another one. Both of them are very professional and friendly and they truffles they provide are in both cases the best ones, as the areas are just a few kms one from the other. You can simply choose the best one for you according to the area closer to your accommodation. Surely, you will enjoy the experience in both cases. Saluti dalla Toscana Massimo

Hello, thank you for your request. We are not an inn nor a restaurant, so you cannot eat at ours. We are a small destination management company organizing specialty tours around local specialties and food producers. So in most of our tours there is lunch included. We also arrange cooking lessons where the prepared food is always served at the end of the cooking experience, so lunch or dinner is included too. I hope you can have a better idea of what we offer! For any further help please do not hesitate and ask me. Saluti dalla Toscana
