Self-Drive Vintage Fiat 500 Tour from Florence: Tuscan Wine Experience

Summary Description

Make your way to a private garage in Florence to find your restored 1960s Fiat 500. Your guide gives you a safety overview and a chance to practice driving with a manual transmission. You won’t hit the road until you feel comfortable driving with manual gears.

Set off with a convoy toward the Tuscan hills. Your guide takes you on a scenic itinerary through the Chianti region along secluded country roads, making leisurely stops and providing commentary about the history of the wine region.

Pull into the courtyard of the 15th-century villa and wine estate. Spend roughly an hour and half exploring the grounds, having a light lunch in the cellar, and sampling local wines. You’ll then cruise back to your original departure point.
