day 1
Welcome to Tuscany
Florence is the ideal starting point for you to be transported into a dimension of pure beauty.
This beautiful city is famous throughout the world for its history and for the countless treasures found in its historic centre, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Take a gorgeous stroll in search of the iconic landmarks of the city such as the imposing Cathedral with the scenic façade in white and green marble, surmounted by the Brunelleschi’s Dome; Giotto’s Bell Tower, the ancient Ponte Vecchio and the evocative Piazza della Signoria, one of the most beautiful and photographed squares in the world.
In addition to art, it will be interesting to discover locations where you can meet its people and experience unique culinary experiences.
One of them is the historic Mercato Centrale in the San Lorenzo district, consisting of an external section dedicated to various kinds of artefacts and an internal section dedicated entirely to food!
Inside the beautiful cast-iron and glass building, you can browse the stalls of the vendors to learn about and taste foods that you have probably never tried before, including a tasty sandwich with lampredotto; simple, with spicy sauce or with the very secret green sauce.
In the evening, if you want, you can choose to stay for dinner in one of the many restaurants and clubs in the centre that gain their strength from their offerings in terms of salami, cheeses and traditional dishes.
day 2
Tasting in the Chianti Valley: the land of Tuscan wines
Located between Florence and Siena, the Chianti Valley is a gorgeous mix of beautiful hills with endless expanses of olive groves and vineyards; charming medieval villages, castles and charming farmhouses.
But it is also the area where one of the best red wines in the world is produced: Chianti.
Captivated by the charm of these places, you will enter the delightful world of Tuscan wines with a very interesting visit to a well-known winery, followed by a tasting of some of the best wines and a tasty lunch of typical local products.
The combination of the flavours of delicious Tuscan cuisine and its fine wines will remind you that the well-being of body and mind also comes from the table!
day 3
Safari in Chianti
On board a powerful off-road vehicle, you will be chauffeured along the quiet streets of the Chianti hills, discovering medieval villages; very long rows of perfectly aligned lives, a majestic medieval castle and a magnificent 13th century abbey.
You will admire enchanting landscapes where you will take beautiful photographs, before stopping off in a quiet field for a snack and a glass of good wine among the scents of the countryside.
And when you start feeling hungry, you can savour the best of traditional Tuscan cuisine with a delicious typical lunch.
A unique and adventurous way to discover places, scents and flavours of the gentle hills of Chianti.
