AMONGST OLIVES AND VINEYARDS
Once again Policleto agritourism in Bagno a Ripoli will open its doors to anyone who want to discover the scents and flavours of their excellent extra virgin olive oil. It is a certified organic extra virgin olive oil that has been selected by the Slow Food Guide.
You can taste the oil made by Policleto agritourism directly at the farm, and while you’re there you’ll have the chance to take advantage of the warm hospitality of Giada and Riccardo and stay at the villa they rent their guests.
Book an oil tasting experience and a short break at Policleto agritourism.
This is also the best time to visit the wineries scattered around this area, in the Florentine countryside, and which produce an excellent Chianti.
