Here an experienced truffle hunter will take you on the hunt for the precious tuber, followed by a brief wine and truffle tasting in one of the local wine-cellars. Next, you can either choose to attend a cooking lesson, where you will learn how to cook truffles and which wines to pair it to for your lunch, or prefer to just stay in the winery for both the wine-tasting and lunch. The afternoon proceeds with a visit to San Gimignano to admire its tower-houses and quaint nooks and return to Florence.

This ancient tower, with its sturdy stone walls, stands as a symbol of the city's rich history. Climbing its historic stairs, visitors are rewarded with panoramic views, offering a glimpse into San Gimignano's past and the scenic Tuscan landscape.
The Torre Grossa, or Tower of the People's Palace, dominates San Gimignano's skyline with its 13th-century grandeur. As part of the Palazzo del Podesta, it symbolizes civic power and offers visitors panoramic views of the picturesque Tuscan landscape from its historic heights. This tower is a living testament to the city's medieval history, inviting exploration into its architectural and political legacy.
The Vernaccia di San Gimignano Wine Experience at La Rocca immerses guests in Tuscany's vinicultural heritage. Set within the historic fortress of La Rocca, the journey begins with a vineyard stroll, revealing the secrets of Vernaccia grape cultivation. In the cellars, the winemaking process unfolds, blending tradition with modernity. The tasting, a sensory delight, unveils the crisp, citrusy notes of Vernaccia di San Gimignano, complemented by local delicacies. This curated experience is a celebration of tradition, terroir, and the exquisite Vernaccia, forging a lasting connection between visitors and the rich winemaking legacy of San Gimignano.
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, the Historic Center of San Gimignano, Italy, is a captivating medieval gem. Encircled by ancient walls, this UNESCO World Heritage site transports visitors to a bygone era with its well-preserved medieval architecture and iconic towers that pierce the skyline. Meandering through cobbled streets, one encounters charming piazzas, artisan boutiques, and inviting cafes. The Duomo, a masterpiece of Italian Gothic art, and the Piazza della Cisterna, a lively square with a central well, are among the highlights.

I had a great day with Gian Carlo, being knowledgeable and a good and safe driver. I enjoyed the landscape and also the little stop for coffee and a cornetto in the middle of nowhere! Best pistachio cream ever !
Very good experience. Everything went smoothly, the transfer were punctual and the communication was excellent. They were very kind and available for any request. We will definitely contact them again if we need their services in the future.
The experience with Gianfranco was perfect. I had a meeting with some fellow DJs at MIR in Rimini, he picked me up at Firenze S.M.N station, and then the perfect trip, without exceeding speed and we found common topics like music. He is a quiet person, that the job really does it for passion! I recommend it and believe me you will agree.
We hired Giancarlo’s services three times during our stay in Florence. Each time was a great car, on time. Our truffle hunting trip and the winery trip were quite enjoyable and a perfect way to enjoy the Tuscan countryside. Finally, got us to the train station with no issues. Most notably, he realized I had overpaid one part of the bill, brought it to my attention and reimbursed me. Nice to know a driver you can trust in Firenze!
Giancarlo is an excellent driver, every day we had tours with him he was always punctual and impeccable! Every tour was a surprise, visiting Siena San Gimignano, wine cellars, Carrara marble quarries, 5 Terre, Chianti area, Pisa and Lucca. If you are in Tuscany, trust him
