For « unexpected » visit we are always happy to receive you… if we are at home obviously !
We are happy to describe our wine production and you will find a small tasting area to receive you.
If you wish to visit the cellar and the vineyards, we ask you to call us before or send an email some days in advance.
We offer one apartment renewed in the main house, it has a large sitting room-kitchen, sleeping room and bathroom. There is also a large terrace from which you have a beautiful view on the vineyards and the valley.
In the hart of Tuscany, an ideal place from which you can visit the region 15km from Siena, 45km from Florence, 20 km from San Gimignano, all the important cultural sites of Tuscany are at less than 2 hour drive.
The apartment is available all year round.
Francine produces ceramic artistic pieces and also for everyday use. Thousands of small « things » that surround us will be reflected in her objects like cups, flower pots, tea pots, plates produced on the wheel… but also « the heads » or the « hens » which she loves and follows since years.
After being dried the pieces are fired at 980°C, then they are glazed with the glaze produce here coloured with different metal oxides. They are fired a second time at 1280°C and the flame does reveal the different colours.
You can find some of her work on the blog: www.francine-dufour.blogspot.com
