What to expect
You'll spend most of the day seated in a comfortable, air-conditioned van winding through Tuscan hillsides. There are brief stops to stretch your legs and explore village centres on foot—expect uneven cobblestones and steep streets, though these are manageable. At the winery, you'll taste several wines paired with antipasti in a relaxed, unhurried setting. Bring a light cardigan; temperature shifts between sun-baked roads and cool wine cellars are common. The driver handles all logistics, so you just watch the landscape roll past and sip when you arrive.
