About this tour
This half-day Chianti tour whisks you from Florence into Tuscany's wine country for tastings at two family-owned estates. You'll walk through working cellars, sample their Chianti and olive oils alongside a prepared Tuscan lunch, then return to your hotel. The route traces cypress avenues and vineyard slopes—four and a half hours that feel like stepping into the region's rhythm, not rushing through it.
Highlights
- Two separate winery visits with cellar access
- Guided tastings of Chianti and estate olive oil
- Hot lunch prepared with local ingredients
- Private Mercedes van transport, maximum 8 guests
- Hotel pickup and drop-off from central Florence
- Cypress-lined roads and working vineyard landscapes
What to expect
You'll be collected from your Florence accommodation mid-morning and driven into the Chianti hills in a small group. At each winery, a local guide walks you through the cellars—expect to see oak barrels, hear family histories, and taste several wines in succession. Between venues, you'll slow down for a sit-down meal with proper courses, not a quick snack. The afternoon unwinds as you return to the city. Bring comfortable shoes for uneven cellar floors and a light layer; cellars stay cool year-round.
Good to know
Maximum 8 people per van keeps groups intimate. Rain doesn't cancel trips. Infants travel free in prams; specialised car seats available on request. Gratuity isn't included. Public transport exists nearby if you prefer to meet the van at a central point rather than your hotel.
