The restaurant of Villa La Palagina is located in the lemon house of the historic residence and overlooks the Chianti hills.
We believe that this precious location and the dishes we serve, strongly linked to the tradition and fruits of our Tuscan land, can complete your experience at Villa la Palagina in the tastiest way.
At the farm you can rediscover the beauty of the Tuscan countryside through a tour of the vineyards, the vegetable garden and getting to know the animals up close. Young and old will have the opportunity to get to know sheep, donkeys, and farm animals, feed them and taste the honey of our bees. You can bottle your own wine by adding a visit to the cellar to the tour where you can demonstrate your creativity by designing a personalized label that you can take home as a souvenir for a supplement of € 7.
• Adult Pic-Nic: Schiacciata with cold cuts, glass of wine, water
• Child Pic-Nic: Schiacciata with cold cuts, fruit juice
Oil and wine tasting in the cellar, surrounded by the Chianti hills: a convivial and relaxing experience to share with a special person or with your circle of friends, perhaps to celebrate an important event. And to follow, a nice walk in the woods or a selfie with the sweet farm animals!
We have designed a panoramic trek in a protected area of the Valdarno. Have you ever heard of the "Balze"? They are geological formations dating back three million years that generate a small canyon. After this nature trail, we will explore the village of Castelfranco together and end our excursion with a recreational stop before returning to the base.
If you have decided to enjoy a magical and unique experience, a hot air balloon flight in the skies of Tuscany is just the thing for you!
Take off is from San Casciano in Val di Pesa at the first light of day so you can watch the sunrise while in flight, taking in the spectacle of the sun rising between the Chianti hills. It's also a great idea for a wedding proposal or a honeymoon that is definitely out of the ordinary!
The pedal assisted bicycle signed by Pirelli will allow you to explore the Tuscan countryside and villages in a sustainable way that make the Chianti region so fascinating. Designed to travel along white roads surrounded by greenery and city alleys, the Sport Utility e-bike is ideal for moving in freedom anywhere!
An experience dedicated to nature and cuisine lovers. Like real farmers, we will harvest vegetables in the garden, collect eggs from the chicken coop and cook together typical tuscan recipes using seasonal ingredients. The course will be followed by a lunch with the prepared dishes, accompanied by our excellent Palagina wine.
Practicing yoga in the vineyard establishes the union between mens sana and corpore sano. The outdoor lesson with our yoga teacher will allow you to get in touch with two ancient human pleasures: yoga and wine. The nature in which you will be literally immersed, will improve the performance of the practice and the awareness of your body.
Imagine sitting among the rows and being able to taste the typical products of our land in this dream setting: book your dinner in the vineyard, a unique and unforgettable experience organized by Fattoria la Palagina in its splendid estate.
