From our base in Greve, we will visit the historical villages of San Gimignano, Panzano, Lucca and Certaldo. We have arranged a private guide in Lucca to give us a walking tour and we’ll enjoy lunch at a local winery. Truffle hunting and lunch at a family lodge await us Certaldo. A Vernaccia wine experience with local foods will start our day in San Gimignano; we’ll end the day at a local winery with dinner featuring regional saffron. A sunset walking dinner tour in Florence will end a free day in the city where you can visit museums, spend the day shopping or leisurely watching the sights and sounds of the city. It goes without saying that we will dine with Dario Cecchini – The Butcher of Panzano – for a most memorable steak workshop.

Indulge in local specialties including handmade tortellini, cappellacci and artisanal cured meats and cheeses.

Savor the bounty of the sea where local fish and shellfish unique to the Adriatic are expertly prepared. These are just a few of the epicurean delights that await those who join us on the tour.
