About this tour
Spend four hours in Chianti creating your own ceramic piece whilst exploring Tuscan winemaking traditions. You'll hand-craft a ceramic object under expert guidance at a working pottery studio, then move to a family-run winery for tastings of three local wines paired with a light lunch in a traditional farmhouse setting. This combines genuine artisan craftsmanship with regional wine culture, led by families who've maintained these practices for generations.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the pottery workshop where a ceramicist walks you through shaping and decorating a functional piece—expect clay under your fingernails and genuine instruction, not rushed tourism. After thirty to forty-five minutes, you'll move to the adjacent winery. There you'll taste three wines in the cellar or farmhouse courtyard, learning how each was made, then sit down to a simple spread of local cheeses, cured meats, and bread. The whole rhythm feels unhurried; you're moving between two neighbouring family operations rather than shuttling between tourist attractions.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on. The winery sits 3 km from the pottery studio; arrange your own transport or ask about local shuttle options when booking. Your finished ceramic piece will be kiln-fired and posted to you within three days—allow for postal delays if travelling internationally.
