What to expect
After meeting your group in Florence, you'll climb into your assigned Topolino and follow your guide through narrow country roads flanked by vineyard rows and stone farmhouses. The car is manual, open-air, and requires your full attention—this isn't passive sightseeing. You'll stop to explore a medieval village on foot, then arrive at a winery where staff walk you through their production methods and pour samples of their bottles alongside freshly pressed oils. Lunch happens at a long table, family-style, where you eat what the region grows: cured meats, fresh pasta, roasted meats, local cheeses. The drive back to Florence follows a different route, offering fresh views of the same landscape.
