Fiat Topolino Electric Car Drive from Florence into Chianti with Winery and Meal
Here the wine tour is something you drive. Guests take the wheel of a fully electric Fiat Topolino, a small car in the Italian style, and follow a professional tour escort along countryside roads past vineyards, olive groves and medieval Tuscan scenery. A support vehicle is available along the route. A bus or minivan tour keeps you in a seat. This one puts you behind the wheel on a planned itinerary, with a stop at a Chianti winery where the staff explain how the local wine is made. Wine and olive oil are tasted there, followed by a typical Tuscan meal. Two options are sold. The solo option gives one driver a Topolino of their own. The double option shares one car between a driver and a passenger.
