Overview

If we talk about Tuscany, we cannot ignore the culture linked to tradition and history: the proposed activity is one of a kind, and interesting, since it allows access to a symbolic place of the valley that would otherwise not be possible to visit.
Podere degli Olmi is the only original Leopoldina house that can be visited, and since it is private, access is only possible through this experience.
The guide will be the descendant of one of the oldest noble families, who will tell you every detail of the Valdichiana and its traditions.
You will take a leap back a few centuries, and it will be interesting to be in the presence of objects and walls full of history and years.
The visit will end with a tasting of typical products linked to the territory, the history and cultivation of which will be illustrated to you, so that you can spend an evening learning about the secrets and nature of the territory that hosts you: the Valdichiana.

What's included

You will be our guests for a tasting of local products; wine and food also for celiacs, veg, vegetarians, and in case of allergies intolerances, it is necessary to indicate at the time of booking

What to expect

We will find ourselves inside the Podere degli Olmi, where you will receive a first greeting and basic information about the era of the Podere, the Reclamation of the Valdichiana, and especially about the fascinating history of the Podere.
We will visit the main part of the House and the ancient stables; you will be told how life was carried out in ancient times in the places of our interest.
We will then invite you to the Secret Garden, where together we will learn about local products and wines, which will vary from time to time depending on the season. It will be the invitation to the house of friends, to thank you for choosing to dwell your attention on the history of our farm.
If the temperature allows, we will stay outside, otherwise we will do the tasting inside in one of the magnificent rooms of the location.
It will be an unforgettable experience, which will drag you directly into the rural history of the Valdichiana, making you discover anecdotes, proverbs, songs and poems of rural life.
You will be accompanied by the noble descendant of the family to which Leopoldina has always belonged, and who will tell you, only if you wish, also the story of their family.
