About
The tour starts from Florence and still gives you the chance to enjoy the highlights of the city before leaving for the Chianti countryside with a 30/35 minutes sidecar ride.
There you will meet one of our favourite small family run wine farm. We’ll visit the winery, the vineyards, the cellar and then we’ll have a tasting and a Tuscan lunch.
Don’t worry, you can drink as much as you want, we’ll be driving!
The sidecar experience will give you the chance to take picture (and short movie!) along some the most beautiful streets and landscapes in the world, the Chianti, and to visit a Medieval small town where the time seems to be stopped in XV century.
