If you'd rather spend your port day eating well and sipping wine than fighting crowds in Florence, this tour is for you. Your private guide and driver take you straight into wine country from Livorno, with no city traffic in sight. San Gimignano's medieval towers give you the culture fix, then a farmhouse lunch with olive oil and local wine slows everything down. A family-run vineyard rounds out the afternoon with one more tasting. This is Tuscany at its most relaxed, all from the port.

Guide tips

Itinerary

Your tour begins at the port of Livorno

Look for your guide and driver waiting dockside as you step off the ship. Settle into your private vehicle and watch the port give way to rolling Tuscan hills as you head inland.

Wind through the heart of Chianti

The drive through the Chianti wine region is half the experience. Vineyards line the road in every direction, olive trees silver the hillsides, and your guide fills you in on why this stretch of Tuscany has been making poets and painters dizzy for centuries.

Explore San Gimignano's medieval streets

Your guide walks you through the story of San Gimignano, a hilltop town where 14 medieval towers still pierce the sky, and the historic center has earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list. After the intro, the town is all yours to explore.

Taste olive oil and sit down to a farmhouse lunch

At a family-run organic farmhouse, you’re welcomed in for an olive oil tasting before a long, unhurried lunch. Antipasto, pasta, regional wine, and a sweet finish - this is the Italian slow food at its best.

Tour an organic vineyard and taste more wine

Your second winery of the day takes a different approach, with biodynamic and organic methods that produce wines unlike anything in the average glass. Tour the estate, learn the process, and taste your way through the results.

Your tour ends at the port of Livorno

Your driver gets you back to the cruise terminal with time to spare. It's been a full day of towers, tastings, and Tuscan wine, the kind that makes the ship feel very far from Chianti.
