    Product Info

    -What you can expect-
    Spend the day in the stunning Chianti region, a region that mixes hilltop towns with top-notch wine tastings. Explore the UNESCO-listed San Gimignano and be in awe of the gently undulating hills that are home to countless olive trees and vineyards.
    The lovely towns of Montefioralle and Greve in Chianti will be your first destinations on the route. You will enjoy the beauty and take as many pictures as you wish, while your driver will provide you with information about these mountain settlements.

    To reach the second destination on the schedule, a typical family-owned wine farm, you'll travel along some of Tuscany's most beautiful country roads. Not only that, but you'll have the opportunity to sample many traditional Tuscan wines, including Chianti Classico and Super Tuscany, as the crew shows you around the farm and explains the wine-making process. Following the wine tasting, your drive will continue over more gorgeous Chianti roads to the medieval village of San Gimignano, which is renowned for its 13 towers and historic center that is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    After lunch, you'll travel back to Florence.
