What to expect
You'll start in Florence and drive into rolling vineyard country, arriving at Castellina in Chianti mid-morning for a loose wander through its narrow streets. First winery visit (around 11:00) involves a guided tasting of their house wines—expect around 5–6 glasses. By midday you'll sit down to a proper farmhouse meal: cured meats, cheese, fresh bruschettas, pasta, and olive oil, paired with more wines. The second tasting follows lunch, introducing you to different producers' styles. Throughout, your guide explains the region's winemaking and landscape. The pace is unhurried; you're not racing between spots.
