wonderful experience.
Overview
You’ll meet your guide in central Florence and learn a bit about the itinerary. From start to finish, the emphasis of your day is indulgence! Indulge in stunning scenery, delicious wines, and lazy strolls on an all-inclusive Tuscan adventure. Start with a scenic transfer into the beautiful hills of Tuscany, stopping first in Siena. Miraculously spared during the bombings of WWII, this hilltop village is an incredible example of medieval town planning and architecture.
Famous for its wine of the same name, Chianti is a beautiful area full of rolling hills and picture-perfect farmhouses. Enjoy lunch and a wine tasting at one of these authentic Chianti farms, starting first with a property tour of its vineyards and wine cellars. Pair your lunch with a guided wine tasting and learn a few cooking tips as you watch an Italian pasta-making demonstration. What you eat will depend on the season, as Tuscan cuisine is famous for its seasonal produce. Traditional dishes use only the best and freshest ingredients.
Next, explore the historic Tuscan town of San Gimignano, an architecturally significant UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll enjoy a full tour of the city, then have free time to shop for souvenirs or climb the city’s campanile for some of the best views in Tuscany. You’ll then return to Florence.
