Later we will attend a group dinner at a local restaurant.

We begin our day with a ride to a local winery. I Selvatici is very small and family owned, producing world class Vin Santo (Wine Spectator 98 points). Then we scoot off to a local olive oil processing facility where you will learn more about the agricultural side of Tuscany. Now, onward to Il Borro, a magnificent estate owned by the Ferragamo family, one of the leading Italian fashion designers. We lunch at their posh restaurant then stroll around the restored medieval village and visit the local artisans’ shops. Have a romantic dinner on your own this day.
