    Overview
    A day trip exploring Tuscany with visits to 2 wineries. Taste seven different types of wine, three extra virgin olive oils, balsamic vinegar and Tuscan snacks, enjoy amazing scenery and visit San Gimignano all in one day! This is a great opportunity for 18-to-39-year-olds to meet other travellers and enjoy the Tuscan countryside while sampling and learning about wines.
    Highlights
    • Full-day wine tasting tour of Tuscany designed specifically for young adults
    • Learn the essentials of tasting wine from your sommelier guide
    • Tour two authentic Italian wineries and enjoy generous tastings
    • Wander the streets of medieval San Gimignano on the way back to Florence
    What to Expect
    Head to the meeting point in Florence, then travel via air-conditioned coach into the Tuscan countryside. The first stop is a winery and tasting school where you learn the essentials to develop your palate. Taste four different wines, including the world-famous Chianti Classico. Also taste a 30-year-old balsamic vinegar, plus truffle oil and extra virgin olive oil. Next, head to a second winery located in the Vernaccia white-wine region for a vintner-led tour of the entire wine production process from vineyard to cellar. Learn about pairings and sample a rosè, a Vernaccia white, and a Colli Senesi Chianti. Finally, wander the well-preserved, medieval town of San Gimignano at your own pace. Browse handcrafted shops, climb the Torre Grossa for the best view of the city, sample some of the best gelato in Italy, and mingle with the other young travelers on your tour before the ride back to Florence.

    Average Tour, Great company
    The tour itself was not what we were expecting, especially for the money! The guide was very quiet, barely spoke, and we could not understand her when she did speak. The two wineries were rushed, and the host at the second winery was monotone and un-engaged. Thankfully, we met…
