Art & Food Venice Walking Tour with Traditional Tastings and Gondola Ride

Summary Description

Fascinating and fun classic wheels, vineyards and olive groves, prestigious wineries: the Tuscan countryside experienced at its best!

Meet your guide in the city centre and then reach the marvellous Tuscan countryside with an approx. 30 min. ride on a comfortable minivan. Your destination is the magnificent Chianti wine region.

Receive an orientation on the basic Italian street rules and on how to perfectly drive your classic FIAT 500 car (probably the most popular Italian car from the Fifties and Sixties) and its manual gearshift and depart with the actual tour, following the tour leader in front of you.

Breath-taking Tuscan landscapes, gentle Chianti rolling hills framed by cypress trees and enriched by vineyards and olive groves, will be the spectacular views around you. Some stops for photo opportunities will be made along the way.

Visit a first sumptuous winery, enjoying a guided tour of their cellars, and learn all the secrets of wine production. Then reach a boutique winery, to experience the differences in their approach to wine making.

A delicious Tuscan meal will then await you, once you get off the cars and relax savouring typical products and recipes as well as some of the wines from the wineries you just visited (no drink and drive on the tour!).

The minivan will then bring you back to the city center, after the most memorable experience: a Tuscany discovery on an Italian vintage icon, the FIAT 500 classic car.

IMPORTANT: A valid driving license is required, make sure you have it with you on the tour, and you must be at least 18 years of age to drive, at least 6 years to be a passenger.

Previous experience in using a manual transmission (clutch pedal and stick shift gear) is required. Alternatives will be given to participants that will prove not able to drive a manual transmission.
