13.Leonardo Da Vinci’s wind mill visit and Organic olive oil tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $39Best value

Spend two hours at Fattoria Lavacchio near Pontassieve, walking through olive groves, touring a working windmill, and learning how organic flour and olive oil are made. An English-speaking expert leads a professional tasting of three oils, followed by a glass of organic Chianti or grape juice.

“We booked and paid for this tour well in advance. We were staying in Florence without a car. It is not clear that this tour is 45 mins away from Florence. The reference to the pick up place to the train station is misleading. It is not the Florence train station but one quite a distance away. They operator offered to pick us up in Florence for 90 Euro each! We only paid 25ish euro for the tour. Needless to say we did not attend this tour. Only consider booking if you have a car. Transportation from Florence is not worth the cost.”
