Milan to Florence: Parmesan, Pisa & Chianti

Italy2 nights · 3 days4★ HotelIdeal for couples, families, friends

Overview

A private driver collects you in Milan and takes you south into Emilia-Romagna, Italy's food valley. You taste aged balsamic vinegar at a family acetaia in Modena and see how Parmigiano Reggiano is made, with lunch at the dairy, before continuing to Pisa for a guided walk around the Field of Miracles. Day two is for Tuscany's walled towns: a guided walk in Lucca and a traditional lunch, a stop in Boccaccio's hamlet of Certaldo and a night inside the towers of San Gimignano. On the last day you pass the castle of Monteriggioni, walk Siena's Piazza del Campo with a local guide, then follow the Chiantigiana road to a family estate for a home-cooked lunch and a Chianti Classico tasting before arriving in Florence.
