Some journeys are about ticking boxes. Others are about creating memories that feel as timeless as the landscapes you travel through. If you’re searching for a destination that blends culture, nature, romance, and elegance, then Tuscany may already be calling your name.
But not all Tuscan experiences are created equal. For couples looking to immerse themselves in the region’s beauty while savoring privacy, luxury, and curated local charm, there’s one experience that stands out: the Dolce Vita Driving Tour, crafted by the bespoke travel specialists at Tuscan Team.
Designed as a five-day romantic escape through Tuscany, this unique itinerary places you behind the wheel of a vintage Italian convertible, winding your way through some of the world’s most breathtaking countryside — from Chianti to Val d’Orcia and beyond.
Let’s take a closer look at this extraordinary experience that has all the ingredients of an unforgettable love story.
A Road Trip Redefined: Where Freedom Meets Elegance
At its heart, the Dolce Vita Driving Tour is about embracing the spontaneity of the open road — but with the refinement and reassurance that comes with thoughtful planning. It’s not a tour in the traditional sense; it’s a privately guided journey where every detail is crafted around you, from the routes you take to the flavors you taste along the way.
Imagine this: a restored Fiat or Alfa Romeo Spider gleaming under the sun, countryside roads lined with olive trees and sunflowers, and the sound of soft Italian music drifting from the car speakers as you cruise through one postcard-perfect village after another.

Where You’ll Go: Five Days of Scenic and Sensory Delight
Each day of the Dolce Vita Driving Tour is a chapter in a romantic narrative, written in scenic roads, soft linens, delicious meals, and personal discoveries.
Day 1: Welcome to Tuscan Serenity
Your journey begins with a warm check-in at a handpicked countryside villa — your private haven for the next few nights. After unwinding by the pool or in the garden, you’ll enjoy a candlelit dinner under the stars, curated by local chefs and paired with regional wines. It’s the perfect introduction to Tuscany’s slow, sensual rhythm.
Day 2: The Flavors and Villages of Chianti
After a relaxed breakfast, you’ll set off on a panoramic drive through Chianti Classico, famous for its rolling vineyards, stone villages, and world-renowned wines. Along the way, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch in the vines and a private wine tasting at a boutique winery. The day ends back at your villa, where you can unwind with sunset views and local delicacies.
Day 3: A Golden Day in Val d’Orcia
Val d’Orcia is the Tuscany of your dreams: golden hills, cypress roads, hilltop towns like Pienza, San Quirico d’Orcia, and Montepulciano. Today is a full immersion into this UNESCO-listed region, featuring local cheese tastings, slow village strolls, and a visit to underground wine cellars carved into medieval rock.
Day 4: History and Culture in Siena
Siena is more than a beautiful city — it’s a living piece of Italian heritage. Wander through its Gothic palazzi, marvel at the Piazza del Campo, and lose yourself in centuries-old lanes. Lunch in a local trattoria provides an authentic culinary pause, before returning to your villa for a final private aperitivo.
Day 5: A Slow Goodbye
On your last day, enjoy a leisurely morning — a final dip in the pool, a stroll through the olive groves — before saying farewell. But you won’t leave empty-handed: you’ll take home a heart full of moments that feel like they belong in a film.
