3. After your wine tasting, we’ll continue to the enchanting hilltop town of San Gimignano for a self-guided visit of this world-famous medieval gem. You’ll have about an hour of free time to explore at your own pace. Known as the “Town of Fine Towers,” San Gimignano once boasted more than 70 towers in the Middle Ages.

Stroll among charming artisan shops, capture postcard-perfect views, and soak in the medieval magic of this unforgettable village. At the end of your visit, we’ll relax on the scenic drive back to Florence, returning to the original departure point.

About Florence

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.

The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.
