Traveler reviews

Your private driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Florence for a scenic drive through the enchanting Tuscan countryside, where rolling vineyards, olive groves, and cypress-lined roads paint a postcard-perfect landscape.

Your day begins at a beautiful family-run farmhouse, an oasis of peace nestled on a hilltop with panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. Here, you’ll enjoy an authentic 4-hour hands-on cooking class, discovering the secrets of traditional Tuscan cuisine.

The experience takes place on the property where the family produces Extra Virgin Olive Oil, saffron, seasonal vegetables, and free-range eggs. All ingredients are fresh, local, and many are picked directly from the farm’s gardens.

Under the guidance of expert local cooks, you’ll prepare a full Tuscan meal with a special focus on the art of using olive oil to enhance flavors and create healthy, delicious dishes.
If the weather allows, the class will be held outdoors in the charming open-air kitchen, overlooking vineyards and olive trees — the perfect setting to embrace the true essence of rural Tuscany.

After the lesson, you’ll sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared, paired with fine local wines and the warm hospitality of your hosts.

Your afternoon continues with an immersive olive oil experience, where you’ll discover one of Tuscany’s most cherished treasures: Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

You’ll stroll through olive groves and visit the production area, learning every step of the process — from the care of the trees to the delicate cold-pressing that preserves the oil’s rich aroma and flavor.

A guided tasting will follow, teaching you how to recognize high-quality oils and appreciate the complex notes that make olive oil a true liquid gold.

 

Your final destination is the UNESCO World Heritage town of San Gimignano, famed for its striking medieval towers and unique skyline. Enjoy a leisurely walk through its charming cobblestone streets, explore artisan shops, and soak in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Every corner tells a story of history, art, and timeless beauty.

Please note: our professional drivers are knowledgeable about the regions you visit and will share interesting insights along the way. However, in accordance with Italian law, they cannot leave the vehicle unattended or accompany guests inside monuments, museums, or other attractions.
