Tuscany Tuk Tuk Tour & Cooking Course: Chianti Hills, Farm Kitchen & San Gimignano
Ride the Chianti hills, cook authentic Tuscan dishes, and wander the medieval towers of San Gimignano — all in one unforgettable day.
This Tuscany Tuk Tuk Tour and Cooking Course combines open-air sightseeing through the Chianti countryside, a hands-on farm cooking class, and a guided visit to the iconic towers of San Gimignano into a single well-crafted seven-hour journey.
The ride through the Chianti hills aboard a classic Italian Piaggio tuk tuk offers a perspective on the Tuscan landscape that larger vehicles simply cannot match. Your guide draws on deep regional knowledge to bring the rolling vineyards, olive groves, and stone farmhouses into context, pausing at viewpoints where the scenery speaks for itself.
At a working countryside farm, the experience shifts from observation to participation. A skilled local host leads the cooking session, guiding participants through the preparation of traditional Tuscan recipes using seasonal, regional ingredients. The meal that follows is paired with local wine and shared around a common table.
The afternoon brings a visit to San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage town whose medieval towers have defined the skyline of this part of Tuscany for centuries. The town's artisanal gelato — awarded the title of world's best on multiple occasions — is reason enough to linger before the return journey begins.

Itinerary
Meet your guide at the tour office and board your private Italian Piaggio tuk tuk. A two-hour scenic ride winds through the vine-covered Chianti hills, with scheduled stops at panoramic viewpoints and commentary on the region's history, wine culture, and landscape.
Arrive at a countryside farm where a local host leads a cooking session focused on traditional Tuscan recipes. Participants work alongside one another to prepare dishes including fresh pasta, learning techniques passed down through generations of Tuscan cooking.
After the cooking class, sit down as a group to enjoy the meal you have prepared. Locally produced wines accompany the dishes, and the farm setting provides a relaxed backdrop for conversation and reflection on the morning's experience.
The afternoon is spent in San Gimignano, where medieval towers, narrow stone streets, and artisan shops define the atmosphere. The town's world-renowned gelato is a highlight not to be missed before the group reassembles for the return journey.
Guests may choose to return to the starting point by approximately 4:30 pm, or opt to end the tour independently in San Gimignano at around 4:00 pm to continue exploring at their own pace. Both options are available when booking.
