An expert guide will meet you and escort you to the first exciting destination – a traditional vineria that serves a true Italian aperitivo. Sample traditional appetizers, including olives, cheeses, and seasonal delights. Learn the history of their origin and preparation.
You’ll enjoy tasting the delicious wines crafted by local Tuscan artisans as your guide gives a lesson in viticulture. Discover the nuances of bouquet, color, regional techniques, and the stories behind each wine in this fascinating stop on the tour.
As you walk to the next attraction, your guide will describe local sights, including the beautiful squares that were once the bustling marketplaces of this glorious city. Visit Piazza Sant’Ambrogio, a lively daily market where locals shop for fresh, farm-to-table goods.
As you make your way to the dining establishments on the tour, you’ll learn how traditional recipes are preserved and passed down through generations. Hospitable innkeepers will welcome you, and you’ll savor robust Tuscan soup, warming both your heart and palate.
The tour ends on a high note with a generous serving of homemade gelato, the luscious Italian ice cream loved worldwide. Learn about its ancient Roman roots when ice and snow were stored to prepare this refreshing treat.
