Museum/Winetasting

We included a special event during the time of your stay in Florence into the programm.
 
It is possible to attend a guided visit to the Leonardo Musuem - the place where Leonardo Da Vinci was borne - including a traditional wine-tasting with side-food. It will take place on Friday, 3 September 1999.
 
The shuttle-bus will leave from the Villa Castelletti at 5:30 pm. After about 30 min. transfer you will start the tour through the museum which will take about 1 hour. A short transfer of 10 min. will bring you to the wine-tasting.
 
The transfer will take you back to Florence at 9:30 pm.
 
You may register for this trip at the registration desk at Villa Castelletti. The cost is 20 USD and it can also be paid in DM 35 or ITL 35,000. (Cash preferred)
