Ciao, I'm Stefano. A true Tuscan and Florentine local. Born and raised here in Tuscany, in a cold and sunny day of December 1982. I grew up with my grandparents in a place called Fucecchio just 30 mins away from Florence. I learned from my farmers grandparents, love for my land and passion for wines. My first grape harvest that I remember it was when I was 3 years old and of course I pressed grapes with my feet. Since than wines and farming are part of my life and . . . I am a Wine and Beer licesend SOMMELIER since in 2017. I believe in "mente santa and corpore sano", it means healthy mind in helthy body. The only way to really appreciate and taste food and wine. I love trail running and gravel bike riding, in my recent past I was competing in short distances, up to ultra marathons. My bike is called Hildebranda and my van is called Parceval. I have 2 litte girls of 12 and 8 years old. My wife is scottish so I speak english everyday for living. Now it has been 15 years or more that I live in florence, in different neighborhoods to experience the city at its best. For my last 12 years I lead tours in Tuscany, Cinque Terre and Chianti Classico. I did vespa tours and Fiat 500 tours, wine and food experiences and bike tours. I am a LICENSED EXPERT HIKING/BIKING GUIDE for hikes and adventures in the hills around Florence, Tuscany and Cinque terre. I love to organise also MULTIDAYS tours biking, hiking or driving in TUSCANY, UMBRIA and CINQUE TERRE. I love old pilgrimage roads, perfect fro gravel bike rides, so cool. I have organised multidays gravel biking trip like Florence to Rome, or Florence to Assisi or Assisi to Rome, amazing bike rides. I love jumping into new adventures and so I am also an ACTOR for tv commercials for toys , wines and anything I think it worth to advertise with my face. I did theater for few years and this helped me a lot to be a tv commercial actor. Last but not least I have a UNIVERSITY DEGREE in tourism Business with a Thesis in Social tourism - Impacts of tourism in different societies. One more thing I am funny :):):) Wine & Beer Sommelier FISAR Hiking Guide AIGAE University degree in Turism Business - UNIFI Special driving License KB for Taxi and NCC Outdoor first aid - AIGAE BLSD - AIGAE I am not a Licensed art city guide and I won't be able to guide you inside musuems or historical churches.

Hiking and wine tasting combined together for the best original experience in Tuscany. (Can be customised without hiking) I created this extraordinary experience combing my 2 greatest passion, hiking and wines. Unique in its kind. I invented something totally new for you, a Wine trekking experience. We will discover by foot in a eco sustainable slow way the secrets of the original and oldest Chianti wine region, The Chianti Classico. The land of one of the greatest red wines of italy, the black rooster Chianti Classico wine. We will walk through the most amazing vineyards of Chianti Classico stopping in 3 different organic wineries to taste their delicious wines and local food like cheese, cured meats, saffron and extra virgin olive oil. We will walk for a maximum of 8 km divided in 3 stops with plenty of time to rest and drink wine to recharge our batteries before the next stretch. This experience will fill your eyes with beauty and your taste buds with unforgettable flavours.
From Florence we reach Panzano in Chianti where we will start our adventure. From a IX century abbey we start our walk through the incredible beauty of the oldest chianti wine region, The Chianti Classico. 8 km total of walk. 3 Organic wineries settled in the beautiful valley of Panzano in Chianti and lunch served in a family winery. We will see small family run wineries and a modern fully renovated one. We taste around 11 wines, mostly red wines made with Sangiovese grape. Notes: This tour can be customized as you wish. - I can rent a larger vehicle. - I can arrange your meal following your food restrictions or not considered if you want to skip it. - I can extend the hike or I can cut parts to make it shorter. - I can end the tour after lunch and be back in Florence earlier. - I can include with extra time a stop to a medieval hamlet nearby. Feel free to contact me!
