Visitors receive a guided tour of the vineyards, winery, and wine cellars, followed by a lunch featuring local seasonal ingredients paired with Chianti wines selected to complement the meal. The lunch includes a wine tasting of several Chianti wines. After lunch, the tour proceeds to Siena, a well-preserved medieval town famous for its architecture and the Palio horse race. Guests have two hours of free time to walk around the town and visit landmarks such as the Piazza del Campo. Time permitting, guests may also visit the Duomo di Siena; entrance tickets are not included but the tour leader will provide assistance. The day ends with a comfortable coach ride back to Florence.
