The Heritage of the Hunt

This is an opportunity to see these birds up close rather than as distant shapes in the sky. Our falconers explain the history and the discipline required to work with birds of prey in Tuscany. You will learn how to read their behavior and understand their role in the local ecosystem. It is a quiet, focused hour spent observing the mechanics of flight and the intense focus of a predator.

A Direct Interaction

You wear the leather glove and feel the actual weight of the bird as it lands on your arm. The experience moves away from a standard show to focus on the interaction between the falconer and the bird. Watching a hawk take flight from your hand and return from the trees is a physical way to connect with the surroundings of the estate.
