The office is open daily except Sunday from 09:30am to 5:00pm.

Day 2Full Day in Tuscany!

It’s Tuscany time! On the second day join one of our day trip to the Chianti region starting at 09:40am for some great scenery, food and Tuscan wine.

The first stop will be at a WINERY AND WINE TASTING SCHOOL located an hour outside of Florence where you will taste 4 different type of wines including the famous Chianti Classico, Brunello of Montalcino, Super Tuscan wines, a 30 year-old balsamic vinegar and the delicious truffle extra virgin olive oil. Here you will learn how to recognize the different flavours and develop your taste buds with a passionate wine producer. Don’t worry this is not a real school where you have to take notes and be tested at the end so only fun is guaranteed.

The second stop will be at a LOCAL WINERY located in a stunning area well known for the production of the D.O.C.G. Vernaccia white wine facing the famous towers of San Gimignano. The wine makers will guide you through the vineyards and the cellars and they will share the secrets of the wine and oil production as well as the best wine and food combinations. At the winery you will enjoy 3 wines; the famous Vernaccia white wine, a rosè wine and a Chianti colli senesi D.O.C.G. You will also have the opportunity to buy the local products and wine at a great price to bring back home or ship to friends and family.

In the afternoon you will be free to visit and spend time wandering through the narrow streets shopping in the local shops of the most beautiful medieval town of Tuscany, SAN GIMIGNANO and check out the tower filled skyline while eating the ice cream from a world-champion gelateria. Maps will be provided from your tour leader and tips about the best places to visit in town.

Once back from the tour, you will be free to check out the recommended restaurant/ bars or stay in for a laid-back night.

Day 3It's time to say goodbye.... Or maybe not

On the third day, unfortunately, you will have to leave your room by 10am. However, feel free to store your bags in the luggage room of the hostel and finish checking out the last monuments of Florence or join one of our city tour to find out more about the city. If you wish to extend your stay, you can add to your booking an extra night in Florence and continue exploring the city.
