This wine tour from Florence visits two Tuscan wineries and the medieval town of towers, San Gimignano, in one day. Taste up to 8 wines including Chianti, Super Tuscan and Vernaccia di San Gimignano at a family-run winery in Ulignano and a winery near San Gimignano, along with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Your English-speaking guide shares Tuscan history and wine traditions on the way, and you'll have free time in San Gimignano. The tour departs in the late morning for a relaxed day, and a small-group minivan option for up to 8 people is also available.
Meet the guide in a purple T-shirt at Piazza della Calza near Porta Romana and set off. During the roughly 1-hour drive to the first winery, pass Tuscan hills dotted with vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees while your guide tells you about the region's history, culture and wine.
At a family-run winery in the village of Ulignano near San Gimignano, enjoy a guided wine tasting. Sample wines such as Chianti, Super Tuscan and Vernaccia di San Gimignano with local delicacies.
Move on to a scenic winery about 5 km from San Gimignano, tour the wine cellar and taste three wines: Vernaccia, Chianti Colli Senesi and a rosé. It offers sweeping views of the Tuscan landscape.
Enjoy about 1.5 hours of free time in San Gimignano, known as the "Manhattan of the Middle Ages". See landmarks such as Piazza del Duomo, the Romanesque Collegiata and the tallest tower, Torre Grossa, and browse artisan shops and local specialties like saffron along the cobbled streets. Then drive about 1 hour back to the starting point in Florence.

Look for the guide in a purple T-shirt next to the blue P (parking) sign just inside Porta Romana, near the Church of San Giovanni Battista della Calza. By bus, take line 11 (towards Galluzzo-La Gora) and get off at "Calza Serragli", or take line 36 or 37 to "Porta Romana" and walk inside the city gate (if you are in front of the roundabout, you are outside the gate). The tour returns to the same place.
