Guided tour at the Castle mill with lunch
Come and discover with your own eyes how the products are made by taking part in our guided tours of the new production plant at Podere Lamone or the fresh pasta laboratory at Castello di Spedaletto.
You will be able to taste our products in our very short supply chain lunches or in tastings and you will be able to learn all the secrets of ancient grains in the kitchen by taking part in our cooking class!
Before being master pasta makers and millers, we are farmers, and this is precisely what makes the difference. We take care of the entire cereal production cycle, from the fields to the table. Our history has its roots in the sharecropping tradition and the passion and love for the land has been handed down from father to son for generations, in fact the mill today stands in the building that once housed the agricultural tool shed of the sharecropper grandparents, so like our farmhouses, they are located in farmhouse buildings that once housed granaries, stables and homes, renovated according to the tradition of the Sienese countryside.
The fresh pasta laboratory is located at Spedaletto Castle, an ancient grange which in the Middle Ages preserved the wheat produced in Val d’Orcia and offered hospitality to pilgrims traveling along the Via Francigena.
During the guided tour of the mill you will discover with your own eyes how our ancient grains are transformed into pasta, witnessing the stone grinding and bronze drawing. An experience that will show you the world of cereals, flour and pasta as you have never seen it.
To conclude the visit, all you have to do is taste! You can enjoy a very short supply chain lunch at our restaurant right next to the castle mill.
