Discover the town that transformed crystal into art




"In Colle Val d'Elsa, crystal is more than a craft, it is a centuries old tradition..."

Discover the fascinating heritage of Colle Val d'Elsa, internationally known as the City of Crystal.



This experience combines history, local craftsmanship and nature, offering a unique opportunity to learn how crystal has shaped the identity of this charming Tuscan town for centuries.

One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to Vilca, one of the last remaining companies in Italy still producing hand blown crystal. Here you will witness a remarkable artisan tradition and gain insight into the skills and passion required to create these extraordinary works of art.

Our journey also includes a walk through the beautiful Elsa River Park, where crystal clear waters and peaceful natural surroundings provide the perfect setting to experience another side of Tuscany.



A unique experience where artisan heritage, local history and nature come together.
