About this tour
Spend three days exploring Tuscany's rolling hills, fortified villages, and wine country with a local guide who knows where the tourists aren't. You'll stay in a traditional farmhouse, eat regional food, taste wines direct from producers, and travel between sights in a comfortable minivan. Departures guaranteed daily from Florence with groups kept deliberately small—never more than eight travellers.

- Medieval villages beyond the guidebook circuit
- Wine tasting at working Tuscan estates
- Farm-to-table meals with regional recipes
- Three nights in countryside farmhouse lodging

What to expect
Each day combines driving through patchwork vineyards and cypress-lined roads with stops in hilltop towns where you'll walk cobbled streets and see local life unfold. You'll sit down for proper meals—breakfast at your farmhouse, lunch often featuring pasta or cured meats, dinner at village trattorias. Wine tastings happen at vineyards themselves, not tourist shops. Expect moderate walking on uneven ground, especially through village centres. The pace is unhurried; this isn't tick-box sightseeing. Your guide speaks the area's history and connects you to what you're seeing rather than reciting scripts.
