Here an experienced truffle hunter will take you on the hunt for the precious tuber, followed by a brief wine and truffle tasting in one of the local wine-cellars. Next, you can either choose to attend a cooking lesson, where you will learn how to cook truffles and which wines to pair it to for your lunch, or prefer to just stay in the winery for both the wine-tasting and lunch. The afternoon proceeds with a visit to San Gimignano to admire its tower-houses and quaint nooks and return to Florence.
