Tour part 1
Your bilingual tour guide and driver will pick you up from Platform 16 of the central train station of Florence at 9:00 am. From there, we will commence the mesmerising drive through the road between Castelfranco di Sopra and Castiglion Fibocchi. We will visit at least three local wineries along the way. We will have an opportunity to sample the wine and tour the cellars and vines. The organic wine producers are deeply passionate about their wines and many of them follow traditional wine making techniques. Having spent the morning learning about organic wine, we will enjoy lunch at one of the vineyards and visit the Borgo of Salvatore Ferragamo.
Tours Part 2
After lunch, we will visit the village of Loro Ciuffena, which sits serenely on the slopes of Pratomagno. While the architecture of Loro Ciuffena is predominantly medieval, its origin has been traced back as far as Etruscan and Roman times. The Cassia Vetus crossed the Lorese territory during the early Roman period and the path was very similar to the Via Setteponti. In 123 b.c., the Cassia Vetus was replaced by the Cassia Adrianea, which passed downstream and subsequently isolated Loro Ciuffenna. After the Roman era, the Lombards occupied the area and a document dating 939 contains the first mention of the name Loro. The town progressed to become a fief of the Counts Guidi before becoming part of the Florentine Republic in 1293.
