Our carefully crafted tour invites you to uncover the timeless allure of Siena, San Gimignano, and the captivating Chianti countryside, creating memories that will linger like the rich flavors of Tuscan wine.

As you depart from Florence, a luxurious air-conditioned mini-van,  and eloquent English-speaking driver-guide become your portal to the treasures of Tuscany. Let Siena, a city that once rivaled Florence in power, indulgence, and artistic splendor, unfolds before you. Traverse the narrow streets and relive the history of the 17 medieval city communities, known as Contrade, which passionately compete in the annual Palio horse race. The grandeur of Piazza del Campo, the central square where this thrilling event transpires, will captivate your senses.

But the journey doesn't end there; next up is San Gimignano, a town renowned for its medieval towers that pierce the sky, creating a silhouette. Wander through the labyrinth of high walls and narrow streets, absorbing the unique atmosphere of this Tuscan hill town. Marvel at the dozen tower houses that stand as sentinels, preserving a bygone era against the backdrop of the hilltop and its protective walls.

As the day unfolds, witness the sun gracefully setting over the undulating Tuscan hills, casting a warm glow on the landscape. Then, indulge in a sensorial experience, as you partake in a wine tasting amid the picturesque Chianti countryside. Discover the ancient cellars that cradle the essence of Tuscan winemaking, unraveling the intricacies of each sip.

The crescendo of your adventure is a typical Tuscan dinner, a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. Succulent dishes steeped in tradition, crafted with passion, and served in a captivating locale, offer a gastronomic journey through the heart of Tuscany.
