On the Saffron Routes
Departure with driver/host for full-day to discover the Florentine mountain
Vallombrosa Abbey and the Trebbio Castle
A nice picnic and wine tasting

Your tour will take you through Vallombrosa (the Shaded Valley), where the Florentines have been taking their vacations since the sixteenth century, enjoying the meadows and peaceful cool woods.

The woods were planted by the monks of the nearby abbey hundreds of years ago, and the monastery itself is also well worth a visit, where you can enjoy an unforgettable taste of one of the products in their liquor store.  Next, you will have a nice picnic lunch, sitting at the top, surrounded by picturesque scenery.

To close your day, you'll have a fascinating visit of the five hundred year old medieval Castle of Trebbio.

If you are traveling in October, you will be able to see the Saffron plantations and production.

All of our day trips are available as individual trips, which can be enjoyed on their own or as an addition to one of our sample itineraries. All you have to do is talk with one of our tour staff: Call 1-800-848-8163
