Walk with Donkeys in the Olive Orchard near Florence

Begin your journey on a tranquil Tuscan farm, where a short workshop introduces you to the donkeys that will accompany you. Learn about their nature, habits, and centuries-old bond with humans, discovering their calm, intelligent, and affectionate personalities. You will be guided on how to approach, lead, and communicate with them respectfully, gaining insight into what makes these animals so unique. Once essential companions for farmers and travelers, donkeys embody patience and loyalty, inviting you to slow down and reconnect with the rhythm of nature in its purest form.

After bonding with your four-legged partner, embark on a guided walk through the estate’s olive groves, wandering among rolling hills, stone walls, and silver-green branches that define the Florence countryside. The meditative stroll allows for a quiet connection between you, your donkey, and the land, while the guide shares stories about donkey life, sustainable farming, and local traditions. The experience concludes with a tasting of the estate’s organic extra virgin olive oil, served with freshly baked bread made from ancient grains and produced using traditional cold-pressing methods. This mindful journey offers a rare chance to embrace Tuscany’s rural life, creating lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for nature, animals, and the people who care for them.
