Here are all the details.



Small Group Tour of Tuscan Wineries

Chianti Tuscany by Hans Vingerhoed

You'll stop and taste a selection of wines at two of the Chianti regions top wineries.

One of the other highlights is the traditional Tuscan lunch, with great wines of course, at a restaurant in a medieval village.

Cheese and Wine in Florence

Florence Italy

What do you do if Florence is just too wonderful to leave or you don't have the time to spend a day in the wine regions of Tuscany?

Don't worry let the wine and the cheeses come to you in this great tasting at a Florentine wine bar.

Your host is an expert on both wines and cheeses and apart from enjoying great wine and cheese you'll leave with a far greater understanding of the wines of Tuscany.

Tuscany for Cruise Ship Passengers

Tuscan Hills

Are you docking at Livorno on a Mediterranean cruise?

Would like to explore Tuscany and try some good wine?

This is the tour for you, nine hours of full immersion Tuscany starts from the minute you step of the ship and you'll get back just in time for departure.

Most certainly this is a better option than the tours offered by the cruise lines themselves. You'll see a lot more and it is far better value too than those inflated cruise ship excursion prices.
