Piazzale Montelungo, Florence Meet your fellow travelers and your tour leader at Piazzale Montelungo in Florence and find a comfortable spot on your bus. Chianti Wine Region, Tuscany Let's start this amazing trip passing by one of the most iconic areas of Tuscany: the Chianti region. The area offers a unique landscape with gentle hills, rolling fields of vineyards and olive groves, small medieval towns and breathtaking sceneries. San Gimignano, Tuscany Even before arriving at your destination, you will be struck by the high ancient towers that define the skyline of San Gimignano. The bus will drop you off at the city gate and with a short walk you will easily reach the main street. Walk through the little narrow cobblestone streets to feel its genuine and unique medieval atmosphere and reach Piazza della Cisterna, once the market square used also as a stage for festivals and tournaments. Take the open passage and enter Piazza Duomo, home to the Municipal Palace, and climb up to the top of the Torre Grossa: the highest tower of the city that counts 218 steps. Once you reach the top, a 360-degree view of the surrounding hills will open just in front of you, making the effort of the climb definitely worth it. Wrap up your day with a delightful picnic in the picturesque Tuscan countryside, accompanied by a wine tasting experience. Savor Vernaccia di San Gimignano, a light and elegant white wine with notes of flowers and fruit—an ideal way to celebrate your journey before heading back to Florence. Piazzale Montelungo, Florence Get back to Florence in total comfort and relax, pampered by the memories of the beautiful day spent in the heart of vineyards and rolling hills.
