About this tour
An eight-hour excursion from Bologna into Chianti's vine-striped landscape, stopping at two working wineries for tastings and production insights. You'll sit down to a traditional Tuscan lunch at one of the cellars, paired with local wines and regional specialities. The drive sweeps you through countryside villages and past the cypress-lined vistas that define this corner of Tuscany, with hotel pickup and drop-off included.
Highlights
- Two cellar visits with guided tastings and production process explanations
- Traditional Tuscan lunch paired with Chianti wines at a working winery
- Rolling countryside views and fairytale villages en route
- Private vehicle and driver from Bologna or Modena
- Learn how Chianti is made from those who grow it
What to expect
Your driver collects you from your hotel and heads south into Chianti. At the first winery, a guide walks you through the cellar, explaining fermentation and ageing before you taste several expressions. You'll break for a proper lunch—soup, pasta, roasted meats, cheese, fruit—at the same property or the second one, all washed down with house wine. The afternoon visit follows a similar pattern: another cellar tour, another tasting, time to absorb the countryside quiet. Expect to be back in Bologna by early evening.
Good to know
Winery locations and producers may change based on harvest schedules and logistics. Wear comfortable shoes for cellar floors, which can be uneven. Bring sunscreen for the drive between sites. Children and infants are welcome; prams fit in the vehicle.
