About this tour
Spend seven hours exploring Chianti Classico's vineyard heartland with stops at three working wineries, each offering distinct tasting experiences. You'll start in Impruneta, famous for its terracotta workshops, then settle into a family-run estate for a multi-course Tuscan lunch paired with local wines, including a tour of centuries-old cellars. A final boutique winery visit lets you compare different Chianti styles before returning to Florence. Your local driver provides context throughout, and the route weaves past medieval hamlets and rolling countryside.

What to expect
The day flows at a leisurely pace. After collection from Florence, you'll drive into rolling vineyards and pause at Impruneta to see how terracotta is still made by hand. At the first winery, expect a relaxed tasting in a family setting—no formal lecture, just wine and conversation. Lunch comes at the second estate, where you'll eat in or near the cellars themselves, tasting older vintages stored below. The food is straightforward Tuscan fare (vegetarian options available). The final winery visit is more comparative, allowing you to taste younger and older Chianti expressions side by side. Throughout, your driver offers local knowledge without pushing a hard sell.
Good to know
Minimum age is 18; vegetarian meals must be requested at booking. The tour runs in all weather, so bring layers and sensible shoes for cellar visits. Groups of two to eight travel together; you may join others up to the cap. Public transport is available if you prefer to skip the minivan return.
