Itinerary
Your experience begins depending on the option you selected at the time of booking , either from our headquarters, Tuscany on Wheels (located just few km outside San Gimignano with free car parking available), or directly from San Gimignano.
First, we’ll visit a winery an hour outside Florence to taste 5 wines, including Chianti Classico, Vernaccia, and Super Tuscan. We’ll also sample a 30-year-old balsamic vinegar, plus truffle extra virgin olive oil. Learn to recognize different flavors and refine your palate with a passionate wine producer. Fun and new skills are guaranteed!
Next, we’ll visit a local winery in a beautiful area known for D.O.C.G. Vernaccia white wine, overlooking the towers of San Gimignano. The winemakers will guide you through vineyards and cellars, sharing secrets of wine and oil production, and the best wine and food pairings. Enjoy three wines: Vernaccia white, rosé, and Chianti Colli Senesi D.O.C.G. You can also purchase local products and wine at great prices to take home or ship to friends and family.
The trip isn't over yet as you just earned a bonus stop in San Gimignano for a little stroll before making your way back. You can't miss San Gimignano when you visit Tuscany! San Gimignano is known for its 14 medieval towers, which dominate the skyline and create a unique atmosphere. These towers were built by wealthy families as symbols of their power and status, and today they are one of the town’s main attractions. You can climb to the top of some of the towers and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
The tour concludes at around 4:30 pm at the Tuscany on Wheels office, where you’ll return with wonderful memories, a camera full of photos, and a few new friends. If you selected San Gimignano as your departure point, you have the option to end your tour there instead, at approximately at 2:30 pm, rather than returning to the main office.

So nice to be out in gorgeous wine country sampling all the best it has to offer. Wine and balsamic selection was both diverse and quality. Ned, our driver was knowledgeable and charismatic. I asked several questions and he was able to answer most of them. Good guy, happy to be in his van. San Gimigiano was surprisingly delightful. It offered something different than Florence and Rome, way worth the extra stop. Highly recommend the tour. Just be prepared for a long, sleepy drive home though.

This was the best tour ever!!! Luigi was an awesome tour guide and so personable. Perfect amount of time of the tour. Not too long not too short. The first winery was more refined and a larger tasting, the second was more casual but the most beautiful views. A great blend of experiences. One hour in San gimingiano was a good amount of time as well. Definitely recommend!!! The 7 person one is one i definitely recommend.
Literally the best!! So much fun. Perfect duration. Luigi is the best ever!
