Overview
Our olive oil and cheese tour will lead us to the heart of the Tuscan countryside, where we'll visit two family-run farmhouses. The first one, proudly produces many different products, including high quality and super healthy cow and goat's milk cheeses. We'll have the chance to be introduced to their story and to visit the farm, including the grazing lands and the cattle sheds. At the end of the tour an appetizing cheese tasting will make your taste buds rejoice. The tour will then continue in the medieval gem of San Gimignano, where our tour guides will lead you through the narrow streets and the tall medieval towers and tell you about its history. Free time for shopping and to try a delicious Gelato at Dondoli, passionately made with the milk produced by the farm visited in the morning! If you prefer a more off-the-beaten-path experience, we suggest to visit another medieval gem of the Tuscan countryside, Certaldo, that will fascinate you with its charming history and its beautiful buildings. Last but not least, our day will finish at the olive oil mill, where our partners will be delighted to tell you all the secrets to produce, store and recognize a delectable olive oil. They'll show you their olive groves and offer you a scrumptious light lunch with olive oil tasting. Don't miss this amazing tour!

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.
