Enchanting towns and medieval castles

The all-day tour promises limited time in the vehicle so that you spend your time, together, enjoying the beauty of the Tuscany region. An expert driver-guide, who speaks fluent English, will escort your small group to enchanting hill towns, the medieval castle Montefioralle and the charming streets of Greve. Imagine the memories you will make together as you explore and share moments of discovery and gaze out over magnificent vistas.

There is something transcendent about visiting these modern yet ancient places and seeing architecture and artistic endeavors that have not wavered from the way they were in bygone eras. One of these almost otherworldly encounters is witnessing the creative artisans in Impruneta, a captivating Italian town with historic Terracotta furnaces. Using traditional techniques, local artisans fire up kilns – some of which have not changed from those used in Roman times. It is amazing to watch them work and see the beauty they produce by hand, each piece one-of-a-kind. The variety astounds as you see the way each artist works the craft, creating vases or tiles or objets d’art. You’ll get a chance to watch one artist up close on our tour.

Travellers will enjoy wine tastings at wineries throughout the day, learning and savouring this dry red wine with its light to full-bodied flavours. You and your sweetheart will learn to distinguish the aromas that comprise the distinctive Chianti wines.
