What to expect

You'll depart Florence early for a scenic drive south into Tuscany's heartland. The first day takes you through Val d'Orcia, stopping at 2–3 estates where winemakers explain their production methods before you taste their reds and whites alongside cured meats and cheeses. Lunch is at a local trattoria or on an estate terrace. Day two follows a similar rhythm with different vineyards, finishing mid-afternoon. Expect mostly sitting and walking on flat, easy terrain around cellars and tasting rooms. The pace is relaxed—this isn't a sprint.

Good to know

Arrive 10 minutes early at the meeting point. Let the operator know of allergies, dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, lactose-free options available), or if you're bringing young children. Dinner is your own arrangement. Gratuities aren't included.
