🍷 Food, Wine & Countryside — An Experiential Day Trip from Rome
Escape the city for a full-day journey into the Tuscan countryside, where tradition, local flavors, and a peaceful rural setting come together in a truly authentic experience.
Depart from Rome in the morning and arrive at Borgo La Novella, a charming farmhouse along the historic Via Francigena route. Start with a farmhouse breakfast featuring fresh local products, then enjoy a relaxed countryside walk with the chance to pick seasonal produce from the garden.
Next, take part in a Tuscan cooking class and learn to prepare pici, the region’s signature handmade pasta, guided by the family’s expert cooks.
Lunch follows, featuring a generous home-cooked meal made that same morning, paired with local wines and accompanied by live music. In the afternoon, visit the picturesque hilltown of San Casciano dei Bagni, where guests may explore the village or choose to relax at the nearby thermal baths before returning to Rome in the evening.
