About this tour
An eight-hour private drive from Livorno port through rolling Chianti countryside, stopping in the medieval hilltop towns of Volterra and San Gimignano. You'll explore Volterra's Etruscan ruins and Roman theatre at your own pace, then move to a working Tuscan farm for lunch and five local wine tastings. The afternoon brings San Gimignano's famous towers and gelato before returning to port around 17:00.
Highlights
- Volterra's Etruscan acropolis and Roman theatre ruins
- Five Chianti tastings at a family-run farm winery
- Three-course lunch: handmade pasta, cold cuts, Pecorino, truffle oil
- San Gimignano's medieval towers and panoramic views
- Private vehicle with air-con and knowledgeable driver throughout
What to expect
Your driver meets you at Livorno port and drives you inland into Chianti's characteristic landscape. Volterra rewards wandering—allow 90 minutes to climb around its ancient monuments and absorb the hilltown calm. The farm visit is the heart of the day: you'll taste wines straight from the producer, then sit down to a proper spread of Tuscan staples made in-house. San Gimignano afterwards feels gentler—the towers are striking, the gelato genuinely good, and the artisan workshops worth a browse if you're interested. It's a long day but not rushed.
Good to know
Comfortable shoes essential for cobbled streets and uneven terrain. The winery lunch is hearty; wine tastings are generous. A professional guide isn't included but can be arranged a week ahead for extra cost. Prams and infant seats available.
