The Authentic Tuscan farmhouse Experience

Tuscan farmhouse visit with olive oil and wine tasting

Would you like to discover the history of an ancient Tuscan village and explore the farmhouse production of an authentic “agriturismo” in Tuscany? At Tenuta di Mensanello you can: we will take you for a walk around our farm, we will tell you about its origins and we will show you the fields, the vineyards and the olive groves that we cultivate with dedication. You will also have the chance to visit our wine cellar and the press where we make the olive oil that you will taste. This Tuscan farmhouse experience will in fact end with a proper olive oil and wine tasting of the Chianti we produce. An appetizing idea, don’t you think?
