Countryside bike tour In Mugello with saffron tasting
Enjoy a bike tour in the Tuscan countryside and discover the saffron's secrets immersed in the atmosphere of this family-owned farmhouse of Mugello.
After a short walk into the small village of Vicchio and around its beautiful lake, begin your ride into the countryside, away from traffic.
Along the way you’ll meet a Romanesque Church, a Villa from the Medicean era, and see the home of Giotto, always surrounded by nature and the typical Tuscan landscape.
Halfway through the ride, you’ll stop at a saffron farm. Take your time to sit immersed in the magic atmosphere of this family-owned farmhouse. Meet the local farm animals, see the bee hives and vineyard, and taste some delicious saffron-flavoured products (honey, cheese, biscuits, beer, herbal tea), while the owners show you how to grow saffron.
