The workshop
will be held on a farm in the village of San Donato, a small hamlet
clustered around a tiny Romanesque church. Four kilometres from San
Gimignano, in
the heart of the Chianti region, it is well situated in relation to
Florence, Siena, Voltera, Pisa, and Lucca. The setting represents
an ideal base for exploring the Tuscany landscape, rolling hills covered
with sunflower fields, olive groves, and vineyards. |
|
Ancient
houses in the village center provide the accommodation. There is also
a swimming pool. First grade agritourism – farm tourism is offered,
with traditional meals, prepared with locally produced ingredients.
The Fenzi family who owns the farm has a very serious production of
Vernaccia and Chianti wines, as well as extra virgin
olive oil, and liquors as Vin Santo and Grappa.

can see all over Tuscany. As far as the eye can see.
