The magic of saffron at La Taverna Farm

Maria Elena cultivates saffron halfway between Gambassi Terme and San Gimignano, the homeland of the so-called red gold, that precious spice that travelled all the way to Asia and was paid its weight in gold. At Azienda Agricola La Taverna, when it’s saffron season – between October and November – you can watch and participate in its saffron harvest, and understand why it’s still so precious. The rest of the year, Maria Elena is waiting for you at her farm, which also produces incredibly good jams and spelt. For information, call Maria Elena at +39 327 2256797.
