Florence & Wine Tasting at a Castle
Have some solo time in Florence before heading to the countryside for a tour and tasting at a family-run estate.
Board a coach from the port to Florence to enjoy two free hours to explore the city’s charming center. At the end of your free time, you’ll join a guide to drive on to Castello del Trebbio, built in 1184. Now a family-run estate producing wine, olive oil, and pure saffron, the castle and cellars will open their doors to you for a tour and a tasting. Walk the garden and enjoy the afternoon with a panoramic view of the Tuscan hills before heading back to the ship.
