Italy

Tuscany

Where every curve tells a story.

Trip Length6 Days, 5 Nights
Driving Days4 Days
Start & EndFlorence, Italy

Tuscany is the original driving landscape. Cypress-lined roads climb through Chianti vineyards. Medieval hilltop towns appear around every bend. The Via Chiantigiana and the roads of Val d’Orcia have inspired drivers for generations.

Stays are restored estates and monasteries chosen for architecture and quiet — the kind of property where the view from the room matters more than the size of the lobby. Once your vehicle tier is set, the car is staged for handoff in Florence, with delivery and return timed to your itinerary.

Journey Highlights

What Defines It

Roads That Reward

The SR222 Chiantigiana, the cypress spirals of Val d’Orcia, the Crete Senesi backroads. Routes personally scouted for driving quality, not just scenery.

Design-Forward Stays

Restored monasteries with vineyard views. Boutique properties where architecture matters, chosen for soul rather than scale.

One Experience Daily

Private winery visit with the family who makes the wine. Truffle hunting with a tartufaio and his dogs. Dinner at a restaurant worth booking months ahead.

Unhurried Pace

2–3 hours of driving per day. Many stops. No forced schedules.

Photo Locations Mapped

Cappella di Vitaleta at golden hour. The La Foce zigzag road. Podere Belvedere at dawn. GPS coordinates and optimal timing in your roadbook.

Direct Support

Support available throughout your journey. Restaurant needs changing? We handle it — this is personal service, not an app.

Day 02

The Chianti Classico Loop

The iconic Tuscan driving day

Day 03

Radda to Panzano

Deeper into Chianti

Hilltop Chianti village overlooking the vineyards and hills below

A quieter side of Chianti. The SP2bis spirals through vineyards and ancient woods between Radda and Panzano — a slower, more technical road than the Chiantigiana, rewarding a patient pace. A private tasting at Castello di Volpaia in Radda, then lunch at Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzano.

Driving: ~25km technical secondary road · Experience: Castello di Volpaia tasting & lunch at Antica Macelleria Cecchini
Day 04

Day 05

Val d’Orcia & Montalcino

South into the UNESCO landscape

Cypress-lined hills of the Val d’Orcia at golden hour

South on the SP146 through the Val d’Orcia — cypress-lined straights, the Vitaleta Chapel, golden hills toward Montalcino and its Brunello country. A private tasting and lunch at Castello Banfi, the estate that put Montalcino on the map.

Driving: ~50km UNESCO landscape · Experience: Castello Banfi tasting & lunch
Day 06

Departure

A proper ending

Morning on the villa garden terrace, Tuscan hills beyond, before departure

No rushed checkout. Breakfast at the hotel, a final walk through the property, then the scenic route back to Florence.
