Feriehus i Balconevisi

What we propose is an itinerary in our daily life, starting from the vineyards and the olives, for reaching our characteristic cellar made of cement tanks, where you can participate to the process of vinification of Chianti, Vernaccia and IGT. It ends up at the “Vinsantaia”, where we taste together our wines!

If you are looking for an out of the binaries experience to do something new and special, you are in the right place! ❤️ I will be happy to make you experience the day-life of an artisan, bringing you inside a pottery factory and then discovering the feel of clay manipulating. We first will meet in my shop in Montelupo Fiorentino, opened for 20 years in a historical village known all over the world for its ceramic production. Montelupo is situated precisely in the middle of Pisa and Florence so it is easily reachable by train or by car in about a half-hour from both sides. It is a beautiful village and I hope you will love it as I do! From the shop we will go together to the factory where I will show you the cycle of production of Italian handmade pottery, telling you the history behind and explaining all the techniques. If you want, there is also the possibility to design and purchase something new that will be custom made for you by our artisans! After the factory, it will be your turn! We will go back to the shop where my father will be happy to teach you how to make your pottery piece. Don't worry if you never used a wheel, the course is funny and satisfying for everyone! And as icing on the cake your creation will be fired and shipped to your house, to have a tangible memory of the experience but above all to have a piece of Tuscany at home! Other things to note If you have any doubt feel free to contact me, I will reply as soon as possible!

We will explore our vineyards of Sangiovese, Colorino, Trebbiano and all the native Tuscan vines that we grow every day with passion. We will walk until we arrive in our olive grove where every year we produce our extra virgin olive oil. Then we will cross our cellar to understand all the details of the winemaking, aging, bottling and labeling process of our entire production. After the first part of the visit, the most beautiful part will start: the tasting of our wines and of our extra-virgin olive oil. Extra-virgin olive oil in bruschetta made only with Tuscan cultivars and around 10 glasses that fully express the style and character of our reality. The Rosato will start the tasting by opening the way to our white wines followed by reds. We will finish with the sweet taste of our Vin Santo and the softness of our Grappa. From extra virgin olive oil to our grappa, you will taste typical Tuscan food from local realities carefully selected by our family. Other things to note If you want to buy our wines but you'll travel just with your backpack we can ship the wine at home! We are in a strategic position between Florence, Pisa, Lucca, take you camera and enjoy yourself.
