Next, your chauffeur-guide will drive you to one of Tuscany's most celebrated olive oil estates. Set in the upper Arno valley along the ancient Roman route between Florence and Arezzo, this imposing country manor of medieval origin is surrounded olive trees that have been caringly tended to for centuries. At the end of the visit of the manor and its historic olive oil cellars, a typical Tuscan meal with bruschettas, cheeses and savoury various local coldcuts provides the perfect opportunity to sample the cold-pressed, organic-certified extra-virgin oil and appreciate its intense perfume, fruity and rather peppery flavour by tasting it with the local bread, all washed by the estate's red Chianti wine. The olive oil, the red wine and organic honey are available for purchasing if you so wish. Your chauffer will pick you up at the manor's at about 2,30p.m to drive you back to Florence.
