Discover Tuscany behind the wheel of classic 1960s and 1970s Mercedes Benz SLs. Over gentle hills and through avenues of cypress trees, we’ll take you through the historic and exquisite heart of Tuscany. But let’s not forget to visit a few selected wineries. Experience Italy at its best!
Your transfer from the airport to the hotel will give you a good idea of what to expect in the coming days. Your trip will get off to a grand start when you check into boutique hotel Borgo Scopeto Relais****, a former aristocratic estate, from where you’ll be able to enjoy the magnificent view over Siena as you eat your lunch on the terrace. Your heart will start beating even faster when you start the ignition for the first time and drive off in your Mercedes-Benz SL classic car. The rolling hills of Chianti between Florence and Siena, with their famous wineries, are symbolic for Tuscany. The world-famous cultural landscape of Chianti is characterized by its old castles and palaces, as well as dense woodland and vast forests. And of course, itʼs important to pay a visit to one of the charming wineries. Stop off at one of the world’s oldest wineries, also the ancestral seat of a noble family.
Fantastic scenery that will set your heart alight lies ahead of you today. Follow quiet country roads through the Crete Senesi, characterized by clay, cypress trees, expansive fields of grain and oak forests. There, where Tuscany is at its most beautiful, you will find the small town of Pienza, designed by Pope Pius II as an ʼideal cityʼ. Your tour guide will not only show you the castle and impressive Renaissance palaces, but youʼll also have the chance to stroll through small, winding alleys and along the boulevard of Corso Rossellino. After all that culture, your classic car will be eager to get going again. Charming vineyards and the town of Montepulciano will provide the backdrop to your return journey. In the evening, we take you to an agriturismo known for its remarkable cuisine and charming atmosphere.
The drivers among you can celebrate: todayʼs route is the longest and most varied. Through land cultivated since ancient times, peppered with majestic villas, medieval castles and quiet, remote monasteries, you will drive along this panoramic road to the Etruscan town of Volterra, taking in San Gimignano en route. During your guided tour of Volterra’s picturesque old town, youʼll be amazed by the artistic skills of the Alabaster artists in one of the studios. Vineyards with world-renowned names and the Tuscan “Ore Mountains”, from which the ancient Etruscans gathered their riches, are characteristic of the landscapes that will accompany you on the classic car stage that will take you back to your hotel. The hotel terrace, with its spectacular view of Siena and the surrounding vineyards, provides the perfect setting for an atmospheric aperitivo in the evening light.
Attracted by their beauty, the rolling hills surrounding Siena has always been home to many artists. Let your gaze wander once more from your roadster into the idyllic distance, before you turn your attention to the cultural legacy of this city on your tour of Siena (UNESCO World Heritage). The cityscape is dominated by the mighty cathedral made of black and white marble, whose artistically decorated marble inlays on the floor have achieved worldwide fame. We will take you to Florence airport in time for your return flight, with memories of eventful days and an authentic driving experience at the wheel of our Mercedes-Benz SL in your luggage. Arrivederci and see you soon!
Tuscany is one of the most picturesque regions of Italy. It impresses with its unique and diverse landscape. Vineyards mingle with olive trees and alternate with the original bareness of the countryside. This sparseness is broken up by lanes of towering cypress trees. Little-used roads wind their way up hills and run through small sleepy villages. Like a backdrop from a 1950’s Italian film.
With Nostalgic you drive on selected routes in Tuscany. Many of them were also sections of the legendary Mille Miglia race. But Tuscany does not only make the hearts of car enthusiasts beat faster. It also offers lovers of culture cities such as Siena and San Gimignano and places of interest such as the fortress at Monteriggioni. Even in the weeks before the world-famous horse race, the Palio, in Siena, you might be able to watch the teams during their rehearsals and preparations for the big race. They stroll through the city in their period costumes and practice on their drums preparing for the perfect entry to the Piazza del Campo.

The Tuscan cuisine impresses with its simplicity and fresh ingredients. The dishes are down-to-earth, but prepared with great skill and love. The most important part of a Tuscan meal is bread. It is served with the dishes in countless variations – from simple flatbread to Pan di Ramerino, which is flavored with raisins and rosemary. Of course, a good wine should not be missing in this area. The Tuscan wines impress with their extraordinarily full taste. A classic and certainly the most famous wine is the ruby red Chianti. A black rooster on a gold background, the “Gallo Nero”, adorns the label of the Chianti wines. A large number of fattories offer interested wine lovers on site the opportunity to convince themselves of the top quality of their wines.
