About this tour
A 10-hour loop from Florence across Tuscany and Umbria, built around wine and food. You'll taste at a leading vineyard estate among Tuscan hills, lunch on seasonal plates in Cortona's hilltop trattoria, then finish at Castiglione del Lago on Lake Trasimeno's Umbrian shore. The route stitches together working landscapes, local cooking, and genuine regional wines into a single day.
Highlights
- Wine tasting at a top Tuscan estate amid vineyards
- Farm-to-table lunch in Cortona using seasonal local produce
- Castiglione del Lago perched above Lake Trasimeno
- Rolling hills and countryside between three stops
- Included wine and lunch throughout the day
What to expect
Expect a leisurely drive through countryside, stopping first at a working vineyard where you'll taste regional wines in the tasting room or among the vines. Mid-morning, you'll head to Cortona, a medieval hill town with narrow streets and valley views; lunch happens in a small traditional restaurant serving what the kitchen sources locally that day. Afternoon brings a shift to Umbria and the lakeside town of Castiglione del Lago, where you can walk the waterfront or explore the old walls. Throughout, your driver navigates you between stops in an air-conditioned van. Pacing is relaxed—this is about savouring rather than rushing.
