Vintage Fiat 500 Tour

A once-in-a-lifetime Chianti adventure

Description

Discover the Tuscan countryside in style: drive the most quintessential of Italian cars, a FIAT 500, through the hills! Explore, visit a fascinating winery and savor the best of Tuscan cuisine. Our signature Vintage Fiat 500 Tour allows you to admire breathtaking views and discover the local heritage in an unusual and diverting way. Meet your private dedicated English-speaking driver at your hotel and travel to the convened meeting point (which will be on the city center border, due to current traffic regulations). Your escort, a friendly English-speaking professional, and shiny FIAT 500 will be waiting for you. An informative orientation briefing on basic Italian street rules, how to use the stick shift gear and drive your FIAT 500 at best will follow. Once you’re confident with the car off you go with a smile and a rumble, follow your tour escort and drive to the Chianti hills! Take in the best of the rolling countryside journeying along silent country roads: the landscape, truly idyllic, showcases a never-ending extent of silvery olive groves and vineyards dotted by honey-colored stone farmhouses and parish churches. On the way stop at a charming property to learn about the local gastronomic heritage and enjoy a tasting a typical product. Then travel on, and reach a fascinating estate comprising a winery and country restaurant. Meet the expert winery staff and explore! See the grounds and cellars and learn about the techniques and aging phases which lead to a great wine. Crown your day with a luscious Tuscan light lunch, local traditional recipes paired with the best estate wines (no worries: your private driver will drive you back to town!)
