Hosted personally by a local curator specialized in private experiences.
Not a tour, but a privately curated day through the hidden treasures of Cortona Valley.
Access medieval castle, historic abbey, and secret estates normally closed to visitors, all at a relaxed pace.
Along the way, you’ll pick and collect hidden local treasures, from artisanal products to olives and specialty ingredients, later enjoyed with a refined Tuscan wine pairing.
Every moment is designed to delight your senses and create memories that last. Fully private, each step is carefully crafted to immerse your group in Tuscany’s culture, traditions, and seasonal delights — far from the crowds and tailored entirely to your experience.

1Cortona
Each journey unfolds as a gentle crescendo of emotions — intentionally left unrevealed, so it can be felt rather than explained. Some moments are meant to surprise you along the way. We follow a thoughtful structure, yet no day is ever the same. Each season brings its own atmosphere, flavors, and encounters, and every proposal reflects what the land genuinely offers at that moment. Nothing is replicated — everything is real, local, and shaped by time and place. Come and live it for yourself. We have a feeling it will stay with you.

From the olive tree to the bottle After Cortona, we move to an authentic 19th-century olive mill, fully updated for today, beginning the story beneath the branches of centuries-old olive trees. You’ll follow the journey of extra virgin olive oil — from the earth and fruit to the modernized press — and finish by tasting and selecting the bottle that most delights your palate. Every moment is crafted to be memorable, educational, and uniquely yours.

The Abbey of Farneta — a journey through time We’ll step into the Abbey of Farneta, a place where history, spirituality, and serene beauty converge.
