A Tuscan Farm-to-Table Experience at Fattoria La Vialla

We’ve enjoyed some incredible food and wine tours in Tuscany, but our day at Fattoria La Vialla was almost too perfect to be real. Set amongst rolling hills and vineyards, discover this beautiful family-run Tuscan farm. We visited on a trip with friends and spent an afternoon filling our bellies with fresh pasta made from homegrown ingredients, and swapping stories around the long table. Generous helpings, free-flowing wine, and friendly strangers made it one of our favorite food memories in Italy!

Fattoria La Vialla Eco Farm, Tuscany

From the moment we arrived, everyone at Fattoria La Vialla welcomed us with open arms. It feels like you’re stepping back to a simpler time, in the rustic farm setting bathed in that gorgeous Tuscan glow.

Two people in chef hats and aprons prepare food together at Fattoria la Vialla tuscany italy, with red checkered tablecloths and utensils hanging on the wall.

Unlike a restaurant experience, you don’t have individual tables; you all sit together at one long table under a vine-covered pergola. We loved how easy this made it to interact with other couples, friends, and families, as we clinked our first glasses of prosecco and passed plates of food across the table. It couldn’t have felt more quintessentially Italian!

A True Tuscan Farm-to-Table Experience at Fattoria La Vialla

Tuscan Farm Food: Six Courses of Heaven

Over the next few hours, the food flowed as quickly as the wine. We were pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn’t just three courses; it was a six-course feast! Here’s what you have to look forward to:

Warm, fluffy focaccia straight from the oven, infused with freshly picked herbs and farm-pressed olive oil.
Bite-sized Antipasto, made up of olives, cheese, and cured meats from the farm.
Fresh handmade pasta topped with seasonal sauces (you can also buy these delicious sauces in their on-site shop!).
Garden-fresh salads and home-grown roasted vegetables.
Dessert and sweet wine (also from their vineyards).

This isn’t a cooking class; it’s a relaxing farm-to-table experience! The ladies working in the kitchen (the absolute stars of the show) make everything. We’re vegetarians, and they gave us extra special treatment, taking the time to tailor the menu and bring us dishes packed with flavor.

This experience cost us 25 euros per person for our group of 6, and we visited in early October (off-season). The price might be different in other periods and depending on the number of people. (But it’s worth it!)

Book your long lunch at Fattoria La Vialla

Love wine? The farm’s biodynamic wine collection deserves a special mention. Fattoria La Vialla farms 180 hectares of vineyards, and each bottle has its own unique character. You’ll be offered a selection to try at lunch, and you can shop for bottles to take home at the wine shop after.

After Lunch: Wander the Estate and Visit the Farm Shop

Once the farm-to-table experience is over, we recommend staying a bit longer at the Tuscan farm to explore. Fattoria La Vialla has an excellent farm shop, packed full of their eco wines, olive oils, sauces, and cheeses.

Wooden barrels are stacked on shelves above boxes and bottles, at the cellar of a Tuscany farm in Italy.

The produce shows how authentically their food is crafted, with seasonal vegetables, ancient wheat varieties, and recipes passed down through the family. We left with a bottle of red wine, a tin of olive oil, and the urge to shop for more!

To walk off your lunch, take a wander around the peaceful surrounding estate, filled with beautiful trees, vines, and flowers. You’ll also see the rustic farmhouses they have dotted across the land, which they rent out if you’d like to stay overnight at the Tuscan farm.

Five glass bottles of oil and vinegar from Fattoria la Vialla in Tuscany Italy, each with cork tops and handwritten labels, are arranged on a set dining table with plates and glasses.

We were following a pre-planned Tuscany itinerary, so we didn’t get a chance to do this, but next time we’re definitely reserving a cottage; the promise of farm breakfasts and vineyard sunsets is too tempting.

Optional: Explore Arezzo

We visited Fattoria La Vialla right after exploring the nearby medieval town of Arezzo, which is a must-visit if you have time! It’s off the beaten track from the popular Tuscany spots like Florence or Siena, so it’s very peaceful and authentic. Make sure to:

Explore the medieval streets and Renaissance squares, like Piazza Grande.
Shop at the local markets (there’s a famous antiques market on the first weekend of every month, which we hear is excellent!)
Climb the cathedral and see the stunning frescoes inside. Here’s the location.

Stone clock tower building with arched entrance, large clock face, red banners, and outdoor stairway in an old European town square, typical of Tuscany, Italy.

Best time to visit: Arrive early in the morning before the town wakes up, and enjoy a delicious espresso on one of the squares. This gives you plenty of time to explore Arezzo before your delicious farm-to-table experience.

Planning to stay in Arezzo? Here’s an overview of all the hotels.
