Private visit to the House of Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany with invitation
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 To Expect
We will meet inside the Podere degli Olmi, where you will receive an initial greeting and basic information about the era of the Podere, the Reclamation of the Valdichiana, and above all the fascinating history of the Podere.
We will visit the main part of the House and the ancient stables, and you will be told how life was 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 an invitation to the home of friends, to thank you for choosing to focus your attention on the history of our Podere.
If the temperature allows it, 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 the Leopoldina has always belonged, and who will tell you, only if you wish, the history of her own family.
