About This Experience

The classic Florence combination, done privately: the green hills of Chianti, the towers of San Gimignano, a three-course Tuscan farm lunch and five tastings, with pickup and drop-off at your Florence address in a comfortable minivan. This is the itinerary most first-time Tuscany visitors are actually dreaming of, and the details deliver it faithfully. Your expert driver collects you in Florence or its province, and the city noise gives way within minutes to the splendid hills and picturesque villages that define the region. The farm is the day's anchor: a typical family-run Tuscan winery where the three-course lunch reads like a love letter, bruschetta, homemade pasta, cold cuts, Pecorino cheese, extra virgin olive oil and more, alongside five wine tastings spanning Chianti, Vernaccia and Super Tuscan. Family-run matters: the person refilling your glass has usually pruned the vines it came from, and the conversation across the table is half the experience. San Gimignano brings the drama: the skyline of medieval towers, the lanes between them, the viewpoints over the Val d'Elsa, with time to wander rather than a herd-through. Between town and farm, the drive itself keeps working, the cypress-lined roads doing what they have done to travellers for centuries. The private minivan format suits couples, families and small groups equally: air-conditioned comfort, bottled water aboard, service in English, German or Russian, and a schedule that answers to your appetite rather than a coach timetable. Your private date is confirmed instantly online through Wine Trails, booked direct with the operator and with no middleman markup. Book the earliest departure your morning allows: San Gimignano belongs to its residents before eleven, and having its lanes half-empty transforms the visit. The return to Florence lands before evening, leaving time to test your new tasting vocabulary on a wine bar the driver will happily recommend on the way in. Chianti's hills and San Gimignano's towers are the two images every Tuscany dream is built from, and this day joins them with the region's third essential, the long farm lunch, in between. If you take one private tour from Florence, the case for this being it is very strong indeed.
