Winery Courses:
Spend the day in a winery. Hang out with the vintners, follow them around the winery, give them a hand in their work, learn from their experience and their wine making skills. Your driver will take you to the winery at around 10 am. You will spend a couple of hours walking around the farm, hanging out in the vineyards and gardens, giving a helping hand if you feel like it.
Before lunch, taste the wines of the farm with the vintners and try to understand their origin and characteristics. Then have lunch with the family and enjoy an authentic home-cooked meal, weather permitting, out side on the porch or in the garden overlooking the beautiful Tuscan hills.
At around 3 pm your driver will come and pick you up and take you back to your accommodation. But not without a reluctant farewell to new friends and a Tuscan winery that will now have a special place in your heart!
