From Florence: Tuscany Wine Country Day Trip with Vineyard Lunch

See the best of Tuscany in one full day with round-trip transport from Florence, an expert English-speaking guide, and time in three of the region's most iconic destinations. Walk the medieval streets of Siena and stand in Piazza del Campo, home of the famous Palio horse race, then continue to a family-run Chianti winery for a guided cellar tour and a curated tasting of six wines paired with artisanal olive oil. A traditional three-course Tuscan lunch with cheeses, cured meats, Lasagne al Tartufo, and ribollita follows, before you finish in San Gimignano, the UNESCO-listed hilltop town known as Medieval Manhattan. Pick the version of the day that fits you best: a full-day group tour with Siena, the winery lunch, and San Gimignano. Or, a half-day group tour focused on Chianti wineries and lunch.
