Itinerary
Private Tuscany Shore Excursion: Vineyard Lunch, Wine & San Gimignano
Visit two family-run vineyards and enjoy free time in a medieval hilltop town, with port pick-up included
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 part of 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 including antipasto, pasta, regional wine, and a sweet finish. Linger over a leisurely lunch with Italian flavors showcased at their 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, leaving you perfectly relaxed and full of memories from a beautiful day in the Italian countryside.

Amazing Full Day Trip During Our Cruise
Tanish B.
January 22, 2026
This was a top cruise day trip! Our private driver made it easy to get from cruise port to the Tuscan gems. The San Gimignano towers were stunning, the farm to table lunch was delicious, and the wines was poured freely. All the details were covered perfectly. We definitely felt pampered and full by the end when we were brought back to our ship. Thank you Flavia and The Tour Guy!
