Debora Mazzierli collects you at your location at 9:30 am for a private Tuscan food and wine day. Meet family producers, taste wine and extra virgin olive oil, visit vineyards and aging rooms, and learn about Cortona and nearby towns through local stories.

“Debora is amazing! This was our first trip to Tuscany and we can’t wait to go back. We saw more and experienced more spending one day with Debora than we had several days previously. Debora personalizes your experience to your interests and desires. We were unsure exactly what we wanted to see and so she was able to give us information on the area and every idea she shared with us sounded amazing and ended up being amazing. Her knowledge of not only Tuscany but all of Italy helped us understand the history of this beautiful country. The day was also super fun. We tasted cheese, wine, bread, olive oil…”

The 30 minute experience culminated with a tasting of their two varieties of olive oil along with a few pieces of Tuscan bread and a glass of wine for my wife and a bottle of water for me. The ride from Arezzo was 30 minutes and the valley that the estate is located in…”

“Awesome experience! We toured the olive groves and learned the process of growing, harvesting and processing of olives into olive oil. The views were incredible! The couple who own the farm were so nice. We ended with an olive oil tasting and light meal. It was very reasonably priced and worth every penny! I highly recommend it!”
