What to expect
You'll spend five hours in an authentic vintage Beetle, which means snug but memorable comfort as your guide navigates narrow Tuscan lanes. The first winery stop includes a walk through their cellars or grounds followed by a tasting flight; the second follows a similar pattern. Between venues, you'll absorb commentary about the region's terroir and grape varieties. Lunch is served in a vineyard setting—expect simple, quality regional food paired with the wines you've tasted. The journey loops past San Gimignano's towers and through densely planted vineyards. Bring sunscreen and wear comfortable shoes for small-scale walking.
