What to expect

This two-day private escape takes you from Florence into the heart of the Tuscan countryside, where rolling hills, vineyards and medieval towns create the perfect backdrop for a journey built around food, wine and local tradition. Designed as a relaxed getaway from the city, this experience blends scenic landscapes with hands-on activities, offering a slower and more authentic way to enjoy Tuscany.

Your journey begins with a drive through the Chianti countryside, where winding roads pass olive groves, vineyards and hilltop villages. Leaving Florence behind, the landscape opens into soft rolling hills that define this part of Italy. The pace slows as you arrive in San Gimignano, a beautifully preserved medieval town known for its skyline of historic towers. Here, you’ll take a guided walk through cobbled streets, quiet corners and panoramic viewpoints that reveal the town’s timeless character. A tasting of award-winning gelato at Gelateria Dondoli adds a sweet highlight to the visit.

The experience continues in the Tuscan woods with an authentic truffle hunting excursion alongside expert hunters and trained dogs. It is a traditional rural practice that connects you to the land uniquely and memorably, as you search for one of Italy’s most prized ingredients.

Later, at Podere La Marronaia, you’ll take part in a hands-on cooking experience in a traditional countryside setting. Using fresh local ingredients, you’ll prepare classic Tuscan dishes before sitting down to enjoy your meal paired with regional wines. It is a relaxed and welcoming moment that brings together everything the region is known for: flavour, simplicity and warmth.

By the end of the experience, Tuscany reveals itself not just through its landscapes, but through its tastes, traditions and slower way of life.
