A tour in Tuscany is much more than a simple trip. The support of an expert local guide can lead travellers to deviate from the regular tourist guide routes. Our drivers speak English fluently and will adapt to meet your needs so that you can simply allow yourself to be completely immersed in the experience. By choosing a driving tour in Tuscany, you'll enter into harmony with the territory. Go beyond the postcard image and discover the real Tuscany Experience, a journey made up of flavours and aromas. Our Truffle & Wine Tour will allow you to fully enjoy the fruits that this land offers.
Wine is one of Tuscany's most notable products: Chianti, Brunello, and other important names need no introduction, but let's not forget other delicacies of the region, like truffles. This prized tuber grows in various regions of Tuscany, and the province of Arezzo boasts various areas renowned for their truffle bounty. What better occasion to savour two Tuscan excellencies: truffles and wine. Food and wine are at their best when enjoyed together, and our tour will allow you to do this while learning how to get the most from the flavours of this region.
Your Holiday Planners driver will pick you up directly from the hotel, and all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the view as you near the Valdichiana region. The truffle hunting spots are usually kept secret, but we'll bring you to the right place. It's impossible to find truffles without the help of a knowledgeable guide, and it's for this reason that we'll be accompanied by a professional truffle hunter who, thanks to the snouts of his dogs, will show you how to dig these treasures up into the light of day. It's wonderful to hunt for truffles, but it's even better to taste them. The fun starts right now.
Truffles are not easy to deal with if you're not familiar with the necessary careful methods, so you can watch the preparation of typical dishes and take notes. After cooking ,it's time to eat of course! And trust us: you won't be disappointed. On the table you will find products made with truffles such as pasta and oil, as well as other 100% Tuscan specialties. After lunch we'll make another stop on our tour, this time to visit a Chianti dei Colli Aretini winery to sample the wine of the area.
