The experience day by day

 

Day 1: Arrival in Florence - San Gimignano Medieval Manhattan and Tenuta Torciano

 

At your arrival our private driver will pick you up from Florence to take you to our boutique Hotel Torciano located in the heart of Tuscan countryside.

During your Tuscan stay you can’t miss a visit to the city of Florence. Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, captivates with unparalleled artistic treasures, iconic architecture, and rich history.

In the afternoon enjoy a visit to the marvelous village of San Gimignano, famous for its imposing medieval towers that have earned it the name of "Manhattan of the Middle Ages".

In the evening, welcome dinner at Tenuta Torciano Winery. Relax and enjoy a delightful dinner, savoring the ambiance and the exquisite estate wines.

Day 2: Florence's Christmas Market and Florentine artisanal shop

 

During your Tuscan stay you can’t miss a visit to the city of Florence.

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, captivates with unparalleled artistic treasures, iconic architecture, and rich history.

You can walk through the Christmas Market in Piazza Santa Croce. You'll find wooden chalets offering European handicrafts, authentic gingerbread, and delicious vin brulé (mulled wine). It's the perfect place for unique souvenir shopping!

In the afternoon, take a gentle walk to Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria. Ponte Vecchio is unique for hosting a continuous row of historic goldsmiths and jewelers.

Beyond the bridge, especially in the Oltrarno district, traditional workshops thrive, specializing in high-quality Italian leather goods and various fine crafts. This concentration of excellence ensures the continuity of the authentic "Made in Florence" style.

In the evening, taste the famous Fiorentina steak in Tenuta Torciano. The dinner will be paired with a tasting of our excellent wines and oils.

Day 3: Siena's Medieval Christmas and Christmas sweets Cooking Class

 

In the morning explore Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the magnificent Duomo di Siena and the famous shell-shaped Piazza del Campo.

Taste Panforte and Ricciarelli, Siena's traditional Christmas sweets. While the large medieval market is usually early December, the city's atmosphere in late December is still beautifully festive, with local shops and bakeries filled with holiday goods.

After the visit of Siena, our driver will let you discover the small, but fascinating Medieval village of Monteriggioni, with its Medieval wall.

In the late afternoon, have fun with our chef in Tenuta Torciano with a Cooking class with typical Christmas dessert to learn all the secrets of Tuscan cuisine and then taste your delicious creations!

If your visit to Tuscany coincides with the Siena Christmas market, you can also immerse yourself in the romantic atmosphere of Piazza del Campo.
