Golf and wine in one long day can feel too good to be true.

This experience is built around 18 holes in Tuscany with a dedicated caddy and a cart, then it turns the day into food and wine at key points. I love that the break comes right in the middle with a light lunch served at the 9th hole, so you’re not rushed off the course for a separate meal. I also like that the wine part is guided, with a sommelier hosting a dinner paired with four wines (including Chianti and Mugello).

One thing to consider: it’s weather-dependent. If the conditions aren’t right, the experience is canceled and you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.

Key Things I’d Mark on My Plan

• 18 holes with a dedicated caddy plus a cart for the round
• Light lunch at hole 9 (served right where you are playing)
• Unlimited driving range balls before you hit the course
• 19th-hole dinner and wine tasting guided by a sommelier, with four wines paired
• Locker, shower, and towel included so you can freshen up after golf
• Private transportation with a pickup from Stazione Leopolda and return to the meeting point

A Full-Day Italian Treat, Not a Quick Stop

This is the kind of outing that works when you want your Tuscany day to feel complete. You start with coffee, you play 18 holes, you eat in the middle of the action, and you finish with dinner and wine paired like someone actually planned your evening.

The biggest value here is the structure. Most golf experiences focus on the game and leave you to improvise the rest. This one gives you a rhythm: course time, then lunch in the middle, then the big food-and-wine finish. If you’re the type who likes days with clear checkpoints, you’ll appreciate how smooth it is.

Also, the focus on Mugello details helps it feel specific to the region instead of generic. The menu choices (like tortelli mugellani) and the wine pairing that references both Chianti and Mugello tie the day together.

Getting There: Pickup at Stazione Leopolda and a Clear 8:30 Start

The day runs about 10 hours, and it starts at 8:30 am. Your pickup is from Stazione Leopolda, and you return back to the same meeting point at the end.

Why that matters: early starts give you better golfing conditions, and it also keeps the dinner part from turning into a late-night scramble. If you’re staying somewhere walkable to that station area, you’ll likely find it easy to get into the day without extra planning.

The tour includes private transportation, so you’re not doing the stop-and-start dance of shared shuttles. You get one smooth transfer plan instead.

Scarperia e San Piero Golf: 18 Holes, Caddy, and Unlimited Range Time

Your golf day is played on a Tuscany course described as one of the most beautiful in the region, and you’ll tackle 18 beautiful and challenging holes. The standout practical perk is the dedicated caddy. Even if you’re a confident golfer, a caddy can make a real difference by reading the course for you—typical line choices, how the ground plays, and what angles to respect.

You also get a cart for the 18 holes, which helps a lot when you’re juggling a full day. You’re not arriving at the last holes feeling cooked, which makes the pace feel more like a vacation than a workout.

Before the course, you’ll have access to the driving range with unlimited balls. That’s a gift if you like warming up properly or if your swing wants a few extra minutes to settle in.

What to keep in mind on the course

• You’ll be issued complete golf equipment, including irons and 5 golf balls.
• You can purchase extra golf balls if needed (stated as €10.00 per booking if the provided balls run out). If you tend to be a heavy hitter with your warm-up swings, it’s worth thinking about that.

If you want a simple mental plan: use the range to find your comfortable rhythm, then let your caddy handle the course questions.

Lunch at the 9th Hole: A Break Built into the Game

Instead of making you leave the course for lunch, this is served directly at the 9th hole. That’s a smart design choice. You keep your momentum, you stay in the “golf day” mindset, and you don’t lose half your afternoon to transport and restaurant timing.

The lunch is described as light, with drinks included, and it lines up with the Mugello food vibe. Your menu includes options like tortelli mugellani or pappardelle with porcini mushrooms.

That menu detail matters because it’s not just food added onto the day—it’s regional. Tortelli mugellani in particular is one of those dishes that helps you feel like you visited somewhere real, not just a scenic stop with generic pasta.

The Medici House 19th Hole Dinner: Tuscan Appetizers, Pasta, Dessert, and Four Wine Pairings

After golf, the experience moves into its signature “19th hole” moment: dinner plus wine tasting, guided by a sommelier.

The dinner structure is clearly laid out:

• Tuscan appetizer with cold cuts, mixed croutons, and cheeses
• Pasta and dessert
• Four wines paired with your meal, including wines associated with Chianti and Mugello
• Wine tasting led by a sommelier

I really like pairings that are guided instead of just self-serve. When someone explains why a wine works with the food in front of you, you don’t just sip—you understand what you’re tasting. And because the wines are paired intentionally (not randomly placed on the table), the dinner feels like a designed experience, not an add-on.

Why this dinner feels like good value

This is one of the reasons the price can make sense even at the high end. You’re not only paying for golf access. You’re also paying for a full meal format and a structured tasting with four wines, hosted by a sommelier.

If you were to assemble that kind of day on your own in Florence and the surrounding area, you’d likely end up stitching together transportation, tee-time logistics, meal reservations, and wine guidance. Here, it’s all bundled with the game.

Welcome Coffee and Freshening Up: Small Comforts That Add Up

Before the golf starts, there’s a welcome coffee. That sounds simple, but it makes the beginning feel handled. You’re not wondering where breakfast will happen or what the first part of the day looks like.

After the round, there’s also a changing room with a locker, shower, and towel. That’s a big deal for real comfort. Golf can leave you sweaty, and you might be going straight from course time into dinner. Having showers and towels included means you can show up more comfortable without tracking down amenities on your own.

Price and What’s Truly Included in the $710.09

At $710.09 per person for a roughly 10-hour private experience, you’re paying for a lot more than access to a tee time. Based on what’s included, you get:

• 18-hole course entry
• Cart + dedicated caddy
• Golf equipment, plus driving range access with unlimited balls
• Light lunch with drinks served at the 9th hole
• Dinner with appetizers, pasta, dessert
• Wine tasting led by a sommelier with four wines paired
• Breakfast welcome coffee
• Changing room facilities (locker, shower, towel)
• Private transportation, including pickup from Stazione Leopolda

The “value” angle here is less about the single line item cost and more about how much effort the day removes. You’re getting guidance, equipment, logistics, and a structured food-and-wine finish without having to coordinate it yourself.

What you should budget for separately

• Golf shoes and a golf glove are not included.
• Extra golf balls cost €10.00 per booking if you run out of the balls provided.

If you already own proper golf shoes, you’re set. If you don’t, plan to rent or bring them. That’s the one piece that can change your day’s comfort the fastest.

Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Might Not Love It)

This works best if you want a Tuscany day that combines sport + local food + wine guidance without the hassle. If you enjoy golf but don’t want to manage the caddy, cart, range time, equipment, and meals, this is a good fit.

It also suits people celebrating something, or anyone who loves a planned itinerary that still feels relaxed. The reason is the pace: lunch is on the course, dinner happens after, and the wine tasting is guided.

You might think twice if you:

• Don’t want to be outside for the better part of 10 hours (weather can affect this).
• Are hoping for something strictly food-focused with no golf emphasis.
• Expect all-day wine without any structure—this one is dinner-based and pairing-led, so it has a clear rhythm.

Should You Book Golf & Wine at the Medici House?

If you’re visiting Florence and want one memorable “Tuscany day” that goes beyond sightseeing, I’d lean yes. The combo of 18 holes with a dedicated caddy, lunch served at the 9th hole, and a sommelier-led dinner with four paired wines is rare in one package.

Book it if you like days that have clear moments—start coffee, warm up, course, lunch checkpoint, then the 19th-hole finish. Skip it if you’d rather keep the day flexible or you’re not excited about committing to the full golf-and-dinner schedule.
