Overview
This tour is designed to bring you in touch with the enchanting Tuscan countryside, food and wine. You will create authentic Tuscan antipasti, learn about extra-virgin olive oil, roll your own home-made pasta and relish our typical Tuscan dessert in the charming frame of the Chianti countryside. After creating your own lunch, take pride (and a fork) to indulge in the feast that you have prepared. Tuscan cuisine is an experience full of celebration and satisfaction, that you can enjoy with your family or with your partner. Fun and passion will be the real ingredients of this fantastic cooking class! On our way back to Florence we'll stop and have a walk into the medieval town of San Gimignano, featuring thirteen authentic 12th century towers. If your taste buds still crave for something delicious, we'll visit the famous Dondoli gelato maker and taste his world champion gelato (not included)!

Great Vespa Tour
Everything about this tour exceeding my expectations. The staff were all friendly, knowledgeable, and very fun! Not only were we able to ride vespas through the beautiful Tuscan countryside, but we also stopped and visited a few villages and towns in the country. To top it all off, we had a delicious lunch with a wine and olive oil tasting.

Book this tour 👌🏻
I had a great day, mum had a great day, and our fellow passengers had a great day…. Our tour guide Elizabetha was informative and fun and took great care of us making sure the wine was flowing!
Very generous with the wine, the food was all organic from the farm we had our lunch at and was very tasty…
I bottled it on the riding but mum and the other all went and loved it… I stayed back at the stables with the dog…
Would highly recommend…
Also, if you are staying somewhere that doesn’t do breakfast then get to the meeting point a bit early as lovely cafe there….
Met some fab people and carried on the night from there…
Best balsamic vinegar I’ve ever had!

Chianti Wine Tour
This was seriously the best wine tour ever! Our tour guide, Daniel, was amazing; I would definitely suggest requesting him for your tour! He made sure that every moment on the tour was really fun! Our group cannot say enough nice words about him.
