Nipozzano Castle, Tuscany Countryside, Paths of Memory

1) We’ll hike through the rolling hills of Chianti Rufina in the Pelago countryside, immersed in century-old vineyards and landscapes that seem like paintings until we reach Nipozzano Castle, the historic estate of the Marquis Frescobaldi. The views from its ancient walls will take our breath away. A route rich in nature, history, tranquillity, and small stone villages, perfect for those who love authentic Tuscany and its picture-perfect landscapes.

2) Hiking through the hills and vineyards of Greve in Chianti to the ancient castle of Montefioralle. A route immersed in the Chianti Classico countryside among dirt roads, olive groves and timeless views. We will walk to the hilltop village, one of the most beautiful in Italy, to experience nature, history and authentic Tuscany.

3) A route through the beautiful tuscan countryside to discover the touching story of Robert Einstein’s family, cousin of the famous Albert. We’ll walk trough woods, olive groves and paths until we reach villa del Focardo where we will recount the events that shaped this place. We’ll then continue to the Badiuzza cemetery where the Einstein family’s memory rests. This isn’t just a trek but a reminder that history lives on in the places and people who lived it.
