Campagna toscana in bici e i segreti dello zafferano

Goditi un tour in bici di 15 chilometri nella campagna toscana e scopri i segreti dello zafferano, a pochi chilometri da Firenze e nel Mugello, un angolo di paradiso.

Dopo una breve passeggiata nel piccolo borgo di Vicchio e intorno al suo bellissimo lago, inizia la tua pedalata nella campagna, lontano dal traffico.

Lungo la strada incontrerai una chiesa romanica, una villa di epoca medicea e vedrai la casa di Giotto, sempre circondata dalla natura e dal tipico paesaggio toscano.

 

A metà del viaggio, ti fermerai in una fattoria di zafferano. Incontra gli animali della fattoria locale, guarda gli alveari e il vigneto e assaggia alcuni deliziosi prodotti al gusto di zafferano (miele, formaggio, biscotti, birra, tisane), mentre i proprietari ti mostrano come coltivare lo zafferano.

Puoi raggiungere facilmente il luogo dell’incontro in treno dalla stazione di Firenze S.M.Novella a Vicchio (circa 50 minuti di viaggio panoramico attraverso la campagna)

Il tour inizia a Vicchio, borgo di origine medievale, dove vissero la loro giovinezza grandi artisti come Giotto e Beato Angelico. Il viaggio prosegue su strade di campagna tra casali, vigneti e ulivi nella zona del Mugello, la patria della famosa famiglia dei Medici, e una terra ricca di storia con i loro castelli medievali, chiese romaniche e ville nobiliari.

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!! This is so different from all the ‘ordinary’ guided tours you can book. Getting to Vicchio from Florence is straight forward and not expensive at all. If you’re ever in Florence and fancy doing something unique I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour! Thanks a lot for everything Simone!

Beautiful experience with Simone in the Tuscan countryside. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the scenic views, touring the farm, and the delicious tasting of Saffron-infused cookies, teas, and more, not to mention the company of Simone. Do it!

Simone was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It was a wonderful experience in an area I would not have necessarily gone to otherwise. Highly recommended! Grazie, Simone!

This adventure is the perfect antidote to the intensity of Florence! When you’ve had your fill of museums and crowds, take this outing. The bikes and helmets were in perfect condition. The town of Vicchio is charming. The bike ride was spectacular! The views were absolutely stunning, the farm and animals were so much fun. Simone made sure we were safe and comfortable, and we all had the best time. This outing was definitely the highlight of our vacation. I highly recommend it!

Simone was a wonderful guide. The ride was exactly as it was described and a beautiful experience. The stop at the farm for tasting the saffron products was excellent, don’t eat too much before you go as the snacks are delicious and plentiful! We also enjoyed meeting the owner of the farm and learning about growing saffron!
