Travelling through typical Tuscan countryside with a panoramic view of Monteriggioni along the way, we reach our first destination of Siena.

From Siena we head out on the open road through vineyards and olive groves in the heart of Chianti territory to San Gimignano, also known as the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages” for its numerous and beautiful towers. Stroll through the centre before heading to the rolling Chianti hills in the evening. Arrive at a typical winery, take a walk amongst ancient vineyards and sample four wines.
