The Untouched Hills 


An undisputed favorite of our clients.   Begin by venturing into the famed wine lands of Chianti with the services of your private driver - effortlessly avoiding the numerous tourist traps. 

Once you have arrived on the family run wine estate, acclimate with a private tour of  the grounds and enjoy the wine tasting that follows.  Then, for the main event: gather in the kitchen for a cooking class of regional specialties.   You'll celebrate your hard work by diving into the multiple courses right after, enjoying a lunch to remember forever!


Travel back in time today to the fascinating Etruscan era where you will discover a highly developed and yet somewhat mysterious ancient civilization - that  actually predates the Romans!

From the stunning ruins found in the pastoral countryside, to a world renowned artifact exhibit, this one of a kind day will be topped off with the invitation to try your hand at carving alabaster with a local master! 


Today is a true adventure - combining a visit to an unspoiled medieval hamlet complete with a castle and scalable walls, an olive oil and kiwi (yes, kiwi!) farm, and a visit to one of the most iconic architectural masterpieces of all of Italy surrounded by countless hidden gems.

It's non-stop fun from start to finish and with the services of private drivers and guides, all that is expected of you is enjoy each moment and change of scenery to the fullest.
