Your Experience

Venture into the heart of Tuscany on a curated wine and countryside tour through the Chianti Hills, just beyond Florence. This full-day outing is carefully designed to immerse you in the flavors and landscapes that make Chianti renowned worldwide.

Departing from Florence

Meet your professional guide at the designated point in the city center. After a quick check-in and a warm greeting, board a comfortable air-conditioned coach ready to whisk you away from Florence, heading towards the rolling Tuscan hills.

Ensure you arrive at least 15 minutes early, ready with your booking confirmation and a valid ID for a streamlined check-in process. The journey takes you through iconic scenery dotted with cypress trees and hillside farms, providing photo-ready views along the way.

First Stop: Family-Run Vineyard

Your first destination is an authentic family-owned vineyard estate. Here, an expert host introduces you to centuries-old traditions and winemaking techniques unique to this area. Wander through lush rows of vines and tour the rustic cellars, learning how local grapes become the region's celebrated wines.

Enjoy your first round of tastings, where three signature Chianti wines are paired with local cheese, cured meats and specialties that highlight their distinct flavors. There's also the chance to sample and purchase extra-virgin olive oils and artisanal goods for truly Tuscan souvenirs.

Hilltop Town Stroll

Next, head to a historic hilltop town known for its classic architecture and breathtaking vistas over the Chianti valley. With leisure time to explore at your own pace, you can stroll through narrow alleyways, pause by quaint shops and pick up handmade treats—from olive oils and chocolates to hand-thrown ceramics and local crafts.

Second Estate Visit: Tuscan Farm Experience

The tour continues to another scenic estate, this time a family-run farmhouse. Here, you'll learn about daily life in the Tuscan countryside and see how olives and grapes are cultivated, harvested and transformed into award-winning oils and wines.

Settle into a cozy tasting room for three additional pours, complemented by regional olive oils and salami. As you sip and savor, hear about the history of Chianti wine—originally carried in straw-covered flasks called 'fiaschi' that protected the liquid on long carriage journeys.

Returning to Florence

Relax on the drive back to Florence, reflecting on a day spent surrounded by vineyard vistas and delicious flavors. Your guide is available throughout for questions, insights or tips on finding your favorite taste experiences in Tuscany.
