Florence to Tuscany: Chianti, Siena, San Gimignano & Wine + Lunch

When visiting Florence, don’t miss a day trip to the scenic, gourmet paradise of the Tuscan countryside. On this small-group tour, visit the remarkably well-preserved medieval town of Siena, home to a magnificent cathedral and the famous Palio horse race. Indulge your taste buds with a seasonal lunch and wine tastings at a family-run farm in the Chianti region, and wander the storybook streets of the UNESCO-listed village San Gimignano. Group size is limited to 14 for a more personalized experience.

Your driver and guide will pick you up in a comfortable, air-conditioned transport in central Florence and drive you through the hills of Tuscany. You’ll pass the best panoramic viewpoint of Florence and pause for pictures.

Siena is one of the best-preserved examples of medieval Italian architecture in the world. Spared German bombing in WWII, this time capsule of ancient, precarious-looking buildings is home to the Palio, one of the greatest and most dangerous horse races in the world.

Your expert tour leader will immerse you in the unique history and culture of Siena as you explore its narrow streets including an exterior visit to the Siena Cathedral – a Tuscan gem!

Pause amidst the square where fervent horses race to win the honor of bringing home the palio – a handpainted silk banner of the highest regard.

Stop At: Chianti
Walking the hills of Tuscan towns will make you hungry so your next stop is an authentic Italian family farm where some of our good friends will give you a behind-the-scenes tour of the vineyards, winery, and wine cellars before sitting you down for a sumptuous, all-inclusive lunch of local, seasonal ingredients. Your meal will be paired with Chianti wines specially selected to perfectly complement the flavors of each dish.

After indulging your taste buds, indulge your imagination with a final stop at San Gimignano, a town of such unique architectural beauty it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

At the end of the day, hop aboard your comfortable private coach bus back to Florence. We’ve taken care of the logistics so all you have to do is enjoy the food, the sights, and the scenery.
