About this tour
Wind through Chianti's rolling hills in a restored Fiat 500 convertible, stopping at hilltop villages and vineyard estates on a five-hour loop from Florence. This private drive pairs countryside scenery with local wine and food tastings, plus an optional sit-down lunch at a working villa. The route hits Greve's main piazza, Montefioralle's medieval streets, and Panzano's viewpoints—all at your own pace with a driver who knows where the light hits best for photos.

What to expect
Expect a relaxed morning departure from Florence in a comfortable, characterful convertible. Your driver will navigate quiet back roads rather than main highways, pausing at small producers and viewpoint villages where you'll taste local cheeses, cured meats, and wines without the formality of a sit-down tasting room. The car itself is part of the experience—iconic, open to the air, and slow enough to notice details. Lunch (if booked) happens at a genuine working vineyard where the owners cook. Otherwise, you'll graze at stops. The pace is unhurried; expect five hours of driving and exploring combined, with plenty of standing-around time in villages.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a light jacket for early morning or evening coolness in the convertible. The route suits all fitness levels—no hiking required. Infant seats available if needed. Public transport alternatives exist but won't offer the same flexibility or photo opportunities. Lunch must be pre-booked; tastings alone are included.
