After pick up in town, we'll arrive at the breathtaking,
6,000 acre estate of a renovated renaissance villa. There, we'll visit the
inside of one of the top ranking wineries in Chianti. On the property, we
will share a generous snack of fresh bread, olive oil and several wines, produced
on the premises.
After the wine-tasting, we head to a century old monastery where we start our hands-on lesson and prepare homemade
ravioli and tagliatelle, right from scratch. Then our guide-chef will set the table and serve antipasti and other
local treats, so we can sit down to enjoy the fruits of our labour.
After lunch, we can relax on the lawn, chat at the table while having espresso the Italian way, or even have a
quick snooze while everybody exchanges addresses and suggestions!

We have many activities, and we try to add new good ones and improve our "classics".
What all of them have in common:
- they are accessible to Accidental Tourists only;
- we run them with as few as 2 requests, or as many as 12;
- they are all accompanied by friendly, knowledgeable, English speaking guides;
- they all enjoy a relaxed pace, homey atmosphere, beautiful views and plenty of genuine food and quality wine.
- With every and all excursions, the contribution is due at the end of the day, and only if it has met your expectations.
Unlike other tours offered in Florence, we take you where you could not get by public transportation.
Our exclusive access to a prestigious private property in Chianti, (that includes a top quality winery as well as
a 1400's villa ) and other connections in the territory will ensure you a memorable experience.
For one day you will breathe clean air, forget about the crowds and the smog, and become part of a Renaissance
scenery. Each season will offer you its country charms: sunflowers in the summer, grapes in the fall, olive oil
cold pressing in the winter, and a thousand different herbs and flowers in the spring.
For total cost, meeting point and departure/return time, see each activity.
Time will stop, and you will truly live a day in the life of Tuscany.
