Description

The first stop on this tour is the historic city of Siena. With your guide, learn about this background of this beautiful town and visit the city's cathedral. Next, visit San Gimignano, known for its tower that foreshadowed the emergence of modern-day skyscrapers. This 10th-century walled village still retains its original feudal character. Inside these walls, wander around and explore this remarkable medieval town. Enjoy the scenic journey through the Chianti hills before arriving at a traditional family-owned farmhouse. Settled in a pristine corner of the Tuscan countryside, take in the surrounding natural beauty while you learn about the wine-making process from grapes to bottle. Get a taste of the local cuisine as you eat a delicious lunch of locally-harvested food from the family's farm, maintaining the traditions of Tuscan cuisine and Italy's slow food movement. Lunch and wine are included. After a full day of wine-tasting and exploration, venture back to Florence. Sit back and enjoy the scenic ride back to your accommodation.
