Porta Romana

Meet your local tour leader by Porta Romana, central Florence at 07:45am ready to leave by 8:00am. Travel for an hour and a half on board of a private 8 seat mini-van through the beautiful Tuscan countryside enjoyed by generations on the movie screen while listening to stories and info about the area from your tour leader.

Cortona
1h
Our first destination is the charming hilltop town of Cortona, famous for its olive groves and immortalized by Diane Lane in Under the Tuscan Sun. Explore independently the town with its narrow streets, artisan stores, and landmarks featured in Frances Mayes' beloved novel. Who knows, you might even start your own Italian love story!

Stop 3
1h 30min
Next, we travel just 40 minutes from Cortona to a picturesque local farm nestled in the heart of Tuscany. Here, Cinta Senese pigs roam semi-wild, thriving on natural feed. Stroll among olive trees and vineyards before savoring the farm's exceptional products in a tasting board we have organised for you —cured meats and bruschetta made from garden-fresh ingredients, paired with their own wine. This unforgettable experience will leave lasting memories.
