Tuscany Tuk Tuk Tour with Lunch, Wine & San Gimignano

A private tuk-tuk ride through Chianti vineyards, a winery lunch cooked by nonna, and the medieval towers of San Gimignano — all in one day.


This Tuscany tuk-tuk tour from Florence combines an open-air ride through the Chianti hills with a home-cooked winery lunch, an olive oil and wine tasting, and a visit to the UNESCO-listed town of San Gimignano. The format is deliberately unhurried, giving travelers genuine contact with the landscape and its producers rather than a rushed overview.

The tuk-tuk segment is private, meaning your small group rides exclusively with a local guide who narrates the story of Chianti wine production as the vehicle moves through working vineyards. Panoramic stops are chosen for photography and orientation, not for souvenir stalls.

Lunch is prepared by the family that owns the winery — a multi-course Tuscan spread of antipasti and fresh pasta paired with estate wines. The afternoon concludes with free time in San Gimignano, where a world-champion gelato producer operates steps from the main square.
