Day 01
Tuscany Abbeys, Wine Tasting, and San Gimignano
- Our driver escort will pick you up at your location (hotel, B&B, or private apartment) and take you on a drive through the sweet hills of Tuscany.
- First stop: the Abbey of Saint Galgano. The abbey was founded in the valley of the River Merse between the towns of Chiusdino and Monticiano. Today, the abbey is without a roof and has an incredible charm.
- Nearby the abbey, we find the Eremo of Montesiepi, the tomb of San Galgano, where we see a sword that legend says was put into a stone by Galgano.
- For lunch, we will move to a typical Tuscan farm. This farm promotes Italian wine and food culture all over the world. It is a beautiful Italian experience to learn the best combinations between wine and food, glass etiquette, the secrets of Italian cuisine, Tuscan winemaking techniques, and much more.
- Have a 3-course lunch with homemade pasta, lasagna, bruschettas, cold cuts, Pecorino cheese, prosciutto, and salame.
- Enjoy wine tastings with Chianti, Chianti Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino, Sangiovese, Nobile di Montepulciano, Vernaccia, and Super Tuscan. Also enjoy tastings of extra virgin olive oil, pepper olive oil, balsamic vinegar, truffle, and olive oil.
- After lunch, we will cross one of the most famous "Chianti Wine Roads".
- Lastly, stop at San Gimignano to visit the town and its magnificent towers.
- Finally, return to your location to end the tour.
