Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Meet your guide in central Florence and hop aboard an air-conditioned, 4x4 minibus. Watch the city streets transform into the rolling hillside of Chianti, lined with vineyards and olive groves.

Your first stop of the day is at a winery belonging to one of the most prominent Italian families. Taste wines paired with cheese and olive oils, and enjoy a guided tour of the historic wine cellars. Travel to the olive mill through the villa's underground tunnels, as well as to the garden.

Afterward, head to a Tuscan restaurant and settle in for a 3-course meal, including regional specialties such as different types of fresh pasta and glasses of fine Chianti wine. (See the Itinerary for a sample menu).

Continue to a small, award-winning winery that specializes in Chianti Classico wine. Hear about the winemaking process while sipping and swirling delicious varietals.

Enjoy the last of your afternoon in the charming town of Greve-in-Chianti, where the Chianti Classico wine festival is held each year. Pick up a selection of typical salumi (cured meats) from one of Italy’s most famous butchers, before heading back to Florence.

Excellent day out exploring the vineyards of Chianti, sampling some of the wines of Chianti and Tuscany. Our guide and sommelier, Alex, certainly knew his subject and kept us entertained and amused for the day. Fully recommend this experience.

Alex was fantastic, if I could give 5 stars, I would. The vineyards were excellent - lovely wine, beautiful scenery and friendly staff. The lunch was a real highlight, with the most beautiful setting overlooking the Tuscan Hills. When I return to Florence I will definitely book again! Thanks Alex!!!

Great Experience

Our Guide Martina was exceptionally knowledgeable and very pleasant. From the meeting point to the location to get into the vehicle was a lengthily walk which was not expected but was manageable. Considering the size of the vehicle and the roads are so narrow it's completely understandable. The experience was great and I would recommend it. Cant wait to use our olive oil.

We loved our guide, Martina. She was so warm and did a great job explaining all things wine, food, and Italian. We had a wonderful day with her and she did a wonderful job accommodating my mother’s allergy! Fantastic wine, amazing food, we left stuffed and happy. Big thanks to Marina and our driver Romelo! We would definitely recommend seeing the Chianti region with them!

FABULOUS day in Tuscan Wine Country! *10 Stars*
MyliaD
, Nov 2019
This was an outstanding tour. Our guide (Martina) was not only a "wine guru" (aka sommelier), but a wealth of historical info as well. She made the trip as great as it was! We visited 3 winery estates and tasted 9 lovely wines, had a great lunch, and had lots of nibbles paired with the wine tastings. The huge safari vehicle was also a lot of fun (even when we were stopped by the local police for what I can only assume were the BIG tires!). Can't thank Martina enough for making this day so special! This is a DON'T MISS tour if you are in the Florence area.
