Now buckle up and get ready for some off-roading through ancient woodlands and rolling hills. Hop aboard the 4x4 vehicle and take in the beautiful scenery, from the cypress trees to the rustic farms and churches, as we make our way to Rignana, a typical Tuscan restaurant and winery with stunning views. Get your taste buds ready for lunch of delicious food and red wine (and a blind olive oil tasting). You won’t want to leave!
