(SOLD OUT event)
The month of October is full of events whose common thread is "Health that comes from the environment," the main theme guiding this year's program of "Waiting for Autumnia" with its 12 initiatives, including four Saturdays of walks to discover the area and its treasures.
The first walk is the "Trekking a km 0: producers at two steps": starting from the Il Palagio Farm Shop Estate (via Sant'Andrea 11, Figline) at 9:30 a.m., accompanied by hiking guide Oliviero Buccianti(il Vagamondo), you will be able to cross the countryside of Figline and Incisa Valdarno. Passing through traffic-free roads, you will reach the Fattoria Celle farm and then continue the loop back to the starting point. An easy hike, 12.8 km with 250 m of elevation gain, which was created with the aim of enhancing the Farms in the area.
In fact, free tastings are provided at properties reached on foot. Tenuta Il Palagio Farm Shop is a 16th-century estate nestled among vineyards; here you will find typical Tuscan products and excellence to drink and eat.Fattoria Celle Farm Shop is also a secluded place, totally immersed in nature, where wine and oil are produced and where pigs, ducks, cows and other animals are raised. Crossing hills, passing by a small lake, scouring forests and discovering Romanesque roads that led to castles and churches will complete the loop to the starting point; at the destination there is a delivery service for any products purchased.
The event is free of charge, organized by the City of Figline and Incisa Valdarno in collaboration with Vagamondo, Il Palagio Farm Shop Estate and Fattoria Celle Farm.
