Fiat Topolino guided drive with Wine and Tuscan Lunch from Florence

Experience the beauty of Tuscany the sustainable way and drive a Fiat Topolino e-car through scenic hills and visit local wine estates!

Description

Escape the city and explore the serene landscapes of Chianti in the most charming and sustainable way possible — at the wheel of an all-electric Fiat Topolino. This eco-conscious day trip from Florence lets you rediscover the joy of open roads, slow travel, and local flavors in one of Italy’s most scenic regions.

Your day begins with a smooth transfer from Florence into the heart of Tuscany. Once there, you’ll be introduced to your stylish e-car and given a complete safety briefing and quick driving lesson to make sure you’re ready to go. You’ll then set off on a scenic drive led by a local guide who sets the route and pace, with a support car close at hand for extra peace of mind.

The journey winds through postcard-perfect backroads where vineyards stretch to the horizon and olive trees line the path. You’ll cruise through gentle hills and make scenic stops to enjoy sweeping views, perfect for photography lovers and nature seekers alike. One highlight of the route is a stop in a centuries-old village, where you can wander stone alleys and soak up the timeless charm of rural Tuscany.

The day continues at a family-run Chianti estate committed to sustainable farming. You’ll be guided through the wine cellars, hear about traditional methods blended with modern eco-practices, and enjoy a relaxed tasting session featuring wines and olive oils crafted right there on the property. Your visit includes a hearty Tuscan lunch (or dinner, depending on the timing) made with fresh, local ingredients — the perfect way to conclude your immersion in local culture and cuisine.

The tour departure will never be cancelled due to rain. We will do our best to proceed with the tour, avoiding the rain until street conditions guarantee a safe ride. If it does not stop raining, the entire tour will be conducted in the safety and comfort of the minivan. 

Please note that clients' safety and comfort are of utmost priority, and proper rain gear is mandatory for guests choosing to "ride in the rain". 
 
We ask clients to be at the meeting point 15 minutes before the tour departure, to check the weather conditions and choose accordingly.

1) Proceed with the tour hoping for clearing weather – PARTIAL RIDE or NO RIDE due to heavy rain. 
Customers can decide to proceed with the tour hoping for clearing weather, with the understanding that if scooters are not ridden at all due to rain, or if the Vespa tour is dramatically abbreviated due to rain, customers will NOT be granted any refund or discount. We will do our best to get you on a scooter, weather permitting.
