DAY 3 • SAN GIMIGNANO » TRUFFLE HUNT » OLIVE OIL & WINE TASTING » COOKING CLASS & DINNER MONDAY: Today, you’ll enjoy a ride through the beautiful rolling hills of Chianti for a most unique winery visit. But first, you’ll stop for a tour of San Gimignano along the way. This medieval town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is known for its 14th- century towers that rise above the town's skyline. Once at the winery, you’ll get to meet our dear friend, Pierluigi Giachi, the world’s most enchanting and entertaining sommelier. You’ll start with a truffle hunt, accompanied by a guide and his trained dogs as they skillfully use their noses to find these delicacies. Next, enjoy olive oil and wine tasting while taking a fun, hands-on cooking class with a chef. We hope this meal tastes good because it will be served to you for dinner! This will be a truly fun, memorable day. DAY 4 • FLORENCE CITY TOUR » VOLTERRA » FLORENCE TUESDAY: This morning, you’ll enjoy a walking tour of the historical center of this most famous of all Renaissance cities! Visit the majestic Duomo complex built in 1296, including Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the Baptistery with its renowned Gates of Paradise doors. You’ll follow the medieval streets to the most striking square in Florence, Piazza della Signoria, guarded by the massive tower of the Palazzo Vecchio. On to Volterra, about an hour south of Florence. Before the Roman Empire (27 BC to 476 AD) were the Etruscans (900 BC to 27 BC). Volterra is rich in Etruscan artifacts. Your walking tour will see the Duomo and Baptistery of San Giovanni, the original Etruscan walls, the well- preserved Roman theater, and the Praetorian Palace. Next, you’ll learn about alabaster quarried right in Volterra! You’ll visit the Rossi Alabastri Workshop to see how they create translucent dishes, vases, and lampshades from a rock. Often confused with marble, remember to ask about the important differences between the two. (Why is alabaster not good for outdoor use?) Tonight, enjoy a night out on your own. So many wonderful restaurants to choose from! Be sure to ask your tour director for suggestions.
