Tuscany Driving Experience – Mercedes-Benz

Chianti Hills, Renaissance Towns & Timeless Motoring

May, September, October

About This Tour

Discover the timeless beauty of Tuscany behind the wheel of a classic Mercedes-Benz SL. This elegant driving tour combines scenic country roads, medieval hill towns, celebrated wine regions, and refined Italian hospitality with the unmistakable style of a vintage Mercedes roadster. From Chianti vineyards and cypress-lined lanes to Renaissance cities and hidden agriturismos, this is Tuscany exactly as enthusiasts dream it should be.

1
Chianti & First Miles

Your Tuscan journey begins with a transfer from Florence Airport to Borgo Scopeto Relais, a beautifully restored estate surrounded by vineyards with sweeping views toward Siena. After lunch on the terrace and a relaxed introduction to your fellow travelers, it’s time to meet your classic Mercedes-Benz SL.

Your first drive leads through the rolling hills of Chianti, where quiet roads wind past castles, olive groves, cypress avenues, and world-famous wineries. The effortless elegance of the Mercedes perfectly matches the landscape — refined, relaxed, and unmistakably Italian. Along the route, you stop at one of Tuscany’s historic wine estates for a tasting before returning to the hotel in the golden evening light.

Pienza, Montepulciano & the Crete Senesi

Today’s route showcases Tuscany at its most cinematic. You drive through the Crete Senesi, a landscape of soft clay hills, winding roads, oak groves, and isolated farmhouses that feels almost untouched by time.

The highlight is Pienza, the Renaissance “ideal city” created for Pope Pius II. During a guided walk, you explore elegant palaces, quiet alleys, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Val d’Orcia. Later, your Mercedes-Benz SL carries you past vineyards and hill towns toward Montepulciano before returning through some of southern Tuscany’s most scenic roads.

In the evening, dinner awaits at a charming agriturismo known for authentic Tuscan cooking, local wines, and warm countryside hospitality.

Volterra, San Gimignano & Tuscan Back Roads

Drivers will especially love today’s stage. The route stretches through one of Tuscany’s most varied landscapes: medieval castles, cypress-lined ridges, remote monasteries, and panoramic roads made for classic grand touring.

Passing San Gimignano’s famous towers, you continue to Volterra, one of Tuscany’s oldest hill towns and renowned for its alabaster craftsmanship. During a guided visit through the atmospheric old town, you discover artisan workshops and layers of Etruscan, Roman, and medieval history.

The afternoon drive returns through vineyard-covered hills and the rugged “Ore Mountains,” once rich in mineral deposits prized by the ancient Etruscans. Back at Borgo Scopeto, an aperitivo overlooking Siena provides the perfect ending to another unforgettable day behind the wheel.

 Siena & Farewell to Tuscany

Your final morning is dedicated to Siena, one of Italy’s great Gothic cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Narrow medieval streets lead to the famous Piazza del Campo and Siena’s magnificent black-and-white marble cathedral, celebrated for its extraordinary artistic detail.

After time to explore the city and enjoy one final taste of Tuscany, the group transfer returns you to Florence Airport. What remains are memories of elegant roads, timeless villages, exceptional cuisine, and the unique pleasure of touring Tuscany in a classic Mercedes-Benz SL.

Italy

Tuscany is one of Italy’s most iconic driving regions — a landscape of vineyards, cypress-lined roads, olive groves, medieval villages, and rolling hills that seems made for classic motoring. Quiet country lanes connect historic towns such as Siena, Volterra, Montepulciano, and San Gimignano, while the celebrated wine regions of Chianti and the Val d’Orcia provide some of Europe’s most beautiful touring roads.

The region’s cultural heritage is equally rich. Gothic cathedrals, Renaissance palaces, fortified villages, and ancient Etruscan settlements appear throughout the landscape, blending naturally into the countryside. Many of the roads on this journey were once used during the legendary Mille Miglia, adding another layer of automotive history to the experience.

Tuscan cuisine reflects the region itself: simple, authentic, and deeply rooted in tradition. Handmade pasta, local olive oil, pecorino cheese, grilled meats, and rustic breads are paired with some of Italy’s finest wines, including Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino.

Touring Tuscany in a vintage Mercedes-Benz SL captures the essence of classic European travel — elegant driving, exceptional scenery, and the freedom to slow down and enjoy every curve, village, and vineyard along the way.

The Drives were very enjoyable

The Drives over the four days were very enjoyable and each destination was fascinating and interesting. The Tour Guides for the various tours were knowledgeable and entertaining. Tuscany was a very enjoyable experience with stunning views and a joy to drive in an open top Mercedes SL. The entire Tour was well organised and the Host, Felix, made it enjoyable for all of us. The restaurant in Siena for the Group Dinner was very nice and the food was excellent.

We absolutely loved everything about it

It was an absolute delight and privilege having partaken in your Tuscany tour. Both my partner Rebecca and I weren’t too sure how regimented or strict things would be ( and justifiably so given the nature and rarity of the vehicles) and were just super impressed how generous your company is in letting us drive on such long excursions with these lovely cars. Also the added attention to details like wine tasting and tours of some of the towns was fantastic and a lovely bonus. Secondly the accommodation that you have selected is fantastic. The Borgo Scopeto Relais felt really special and was a perfect backdrop to the splendor of your cars showcased in that environment. Your cars are absolutely lovely. Beautifully presented and the ones that I selected during the tour being the metallic green 280SL , the baby blue Pagoda, the silver 300SL and the copper colored 250 pagoda were just sensational both in presentation and performance. Truely a dream come true. Additionally Alex, Noel and Khari were absolutely fantastic. Bexs and I were so impressed with their demeanour … all professional, kind , polite and attentive. Honestly, we could not fault them and really enjoyed their company. A big thank you for your selection of lovely staff. We absolutely loved everything about it and I congratulate your company for providing such a unique and wonderful experience.

Exceptional “classic car driving” experience

Walter and his team were exceptional. Any request was without a problem. As our first tour with Nostalgic our choice of Tuscany was a fabulous introduction. We will be back to have more fun, and an exceptional “classic car driving” experience.

Beautiful old property

We enjoyed both of our wonderful tours with Nostalgic. The first was in Tuscany. We were greeted at Florence airport and taken by private coach to our base hotel a few miles from Siena. It is a beautiful old property with an excellent restaurant and kitchen. All our needs and wishes were attended to by Walter and his staff. Our cars were clean and ready every morning for the day’s drive. All the routes were conducive to relaxed, uncongested driving. The lunch and dinner venues were outstanding.

Tremendous amount of fun

Driving the Alfa Giulia Spider on these roads was magnificent, a tremendous amount of fun. The cars were genuinely in very good condition, engine, drive train, all good. All really went well, the road books were very well done even to us who were not familiar with all the signs on the roads in Europe. The guides were enthusiastic and contributed very well to the experience. I liked not having to follow a lead car but to be responsible myself for all directions. I did not feel as on a group tour, even though we made friends with some of the other couples on the tour.
