A Taste of Tuscany
Vinci
LocationSituated just 700 metres from the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, this destination combines great team building activities with Tuscany’s fabulous cultural and gastronomic heritage to provide a genuine “taste of Tuscany”.
AccommodationWe have chosen a traditional 13th century Tuscan farmhouse set in the heart of this well known area. Just 40 kms from Florence and 35 kms from Lucca, the farmhouse has been lovingly converted into apartments with a real Tuscan “feel”. Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, a shower and WC room, one or two bedrooms and a living/dining area.
Best of all perhaps is the area around the swimming pool which offers unforgettable views towards the Gulf of Genoa. In the evening you can sit at tables in the garden surrounded by olive trees and green hills. You will not want to leave this idylic setting as it does provide a fantastic venue for a corporate event!
Activities Available:
Rock Climbing and Volterra
You will be driven towards the beautiful town of Volterra. We stop en-route at an excellent rock face where our instructors provide all the climbing equipment and tuition you will require. After scaling the wall, the day is yours to explore the town before returning to the farmhouse.
Cycling, WineTasting and Ice Cream
It’s mostly downhill with a few undulating hills on the way to Vinci where we stop for a winetasting followed by lunch. Then it is a short bike ride to a fabulous gelateria where you can sample some of the finest ice cream anywhere in the world. We provide transfers back up the hill to your accommodation where you can have a siesta!!
Canyon or Caves
We head towards Barga where you have a choice of canyoning or visiting the fabulous caves at Vento. After lunch, we visit Lucca where you have plenty of free time to explore another wonderful Tuscan town.
Heli Biking
Two experiences in one! You will have a helicopter ride to the top of the mountain where you and your mountain bike will be deposited and then it's downhill all the way!
Trip to Florence
Take the train to Florence, Capital of the Renaissance, where you can marvel at the architecture, learn about it's history or simply enjoy the culinary delights that make this area so popular.
These activities are an example of what is available in the area. There are many other options so please contact us to discuss your requirements.
