My friend and I did the olive picking experience. We were taught about growing olives and shown how they are picked, then we helped pick the olive from a tree they picked out for us. Appreciate the work and skill that goes into growing, harvesting and processing olives into extra virgin olive oil that is the purest and most delicious olive oil you will ever taste. Fabio, one of the family that owns the farm, and Luca our guide, made the experience the best time we had in Italy. We had a lovely lunch on the farm on a beautiful sunny warm day. We ordered some of the oil that would be made with the olives that we helped pick. It came today and we are enjoying the experience all over again. We have already decided we want to go back again! Please don't miss this experience it is the best time you will have!!!

Usiglian del Vescovo

Production and selling of wines and extra virgin olive oil. Tastings and tours in the historical cellar in the castle from the year 1078. We are in the midpoint of Tuscany! You can spent some time with us involved in the amazing landscape knowing something about our production with our unique wines and olive oil.

By far the best wine tasting experience we’ve ever done! Helena was a great host (very good English!). She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the vineyard and, of course, the wine. The wine was divine and the olive oil was also very nice. We left with some purchases! Would highly recommend it.

Cosimo Maria Masini

We offer a wine tour dedicated to natural wine-making and to the discovery of how to produce wine with full respect for the environment and its land. After a walk through the rows of grapevines farmed according to biodynamic methods we reach the courtyard - during wine harvesting here it is possible to see open pan vinification - and the vinsantiera (the place where the fine dessert wine Vinsanto is produced). We then arrive at the cellar and enter the barique cellar, where our red wines are stored to refine. Each step is accompanied by descriptions and extra focus on the topics by enologists and sommeliers of the Cosimo Maria Masini, who will be pleased to answer and satisfy any curiosity. The visit then continues to the garden of the villa which has famously seen among its residents the families of the Buonaparte and the Ridolfi, in particular Cosimo Ridolfi the founder of modern agronomy and of the Accademia dei Georgofili. The tour, which lasts for about 1hour and a half, concludes at the NOW Shop with wine tasting (our own wines) combined with the chance to savour some local products. Wine tours should be booked in advance.

Truffle in Tuscany (Truffle hunting experience)

Hi! My name is Massimo and I’m a truffle hunter; I live in San Miniato, a little medieval town located in the heart of Tuscany and deservedly listed as one of undisputed Capitals of Truffles. I wants to tell you about THE REAL TRUFFLE, its tradition, its history, the legends that recall its myth and its uses in the kitchen… this is my heritage and way to preserve the truffle tradition that is lost in today’s commercialized “Truffle Business” and, more importantly, it is a method of preserving a very unique habitat in the world where truffles grow in their wild habitat. Each one of my Truffle Experience is private and suitable for the whole family, and can be customized upon your request: it’s very important to me that I pass onto you insider “truffle knowledge” that I answer all of your questions and satisfy your “truffle curiosity”! I look forward to welcoming you!

Who would have thought to find a brilliant delicious atmospheric restaurant in the middle of the Tuscany hills. This is the place. Our host Elie is extremely personable and knowledgeable and his wife (who we only briefly met as she spent most of the time in the kitchen) have founded an impressive place. Food was delicious. we sat outside in an atmospheric courtyard in the middle of a tiny village unexpectedly enjoying a delicious and exquisite meal. Be prepared to pay somewhat for the privilege but it was the highlight of our day. highly recommended
