Florence Half Day Chianti Wine Tour with Tuscan Food Tastings

About this tour

This five-hour jaunt from Florence ventures deep into Chianti's rolling landscape by private minivan, stopping at two family wineries and a hilltop village. You'll taste estate Chianti directly from the barrel room, then sit down to a proper spread of cured meats, bread, and seasonal dishes paired with local bottles. The route finishes at Piazzale Michelangelo for sunset views over Florence.

What to expect

You'll start from Florence's centre in a luxury minivan and head south into vineyard country. The first stop is a working winery where you'll descend into cool cellars lined with oak, taste Chianti with your guide explaining the region's methods, then drive to a traditional stone village for a wander and photos. Lunch comes next—a proper meal of antipasti, bread dipped in estate oil, and cured meats, all matched to wines from the second cellar. Expect 90 minutes on your feet across both wineries and the village; the rest is seated or driving. You'll end at Piazzale Michelangelo for views of Florence's skyline before returning to the city.
