About this tour
A six to seven-hour private tour through Chianti Classico that connects you with two family-run estates producing wine, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. You'll walk the vineyards with a local vintner, taste Chianti Classico and Vinsanto in the cellar, then move to a historic farm for a three-course Tuscan lunch paired with wines chosen to show how food and drink work together. Transport in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver included.
Highlights
- Meet a winemaker family in their Classico vineyard and cellar

- Learn olive oil production and sample estate-made bottles
- Private group with dedicated English-speaking driver throughout
What to expect
Your driver collects you from Florence for the drive into rolling Chianti hills. At the first estate, a family member guides you through their vineyards, explaining Sangiovese and the Classico designation, then into the cellar where you taste their Chianti and Vinsanto with local antipasti. After, you travel to the second property—a historic farm where the real meal begins. A three-course lunch unfolds: antipasto, a pasta or risotto course, and dessert, each course paired with a wine from their range to show how local Tuscan cooking matches their styles. Tastings are generous, pacing relaxed.
