About this tour

Spend 90 minutes at Viticcio, a heritage winery nestled in Chianti Classico's rolling hills. You'll walk through the cellars to understand how the locals have crafted wine for generations, then taste a selection of their vintages while taking in views across the Tuscan countryside. It's straightforward, hands-on viticulture without the fuss.

Highlights

  • Behind-the-scenes winery tour with production insights
  • Taste multiple Chianti Classico wines directly from producers
  • Hillside views across Tuscan vineyards during tasting
  • Learn traditional winemaking methods still in use today
  • Historic cellar setting steeped in regional heritage

What to expect

You'll arrive at the winery and begin with a guided walk through the production areas, seeing fermentation tanks and barrel storage firsthand. Staff explain their approach to viticulture and harvest timing in plain terms. Afterwards, you'll settle in for a structured tasting of several wines—reds, possibly a white or rosé—paired with information about each bottle's character and the vineyard blocks it came from. The setting itself matters here: stone walls, the smell of aging wine, and those panoramic views create the atmosphere rather than any manufactured experience.

Good to know

Wheelchair accessible throughout. Children welcome; buggies accepted. Pregnant travellers should check ahead on wine fume exposure. Comfortable shoes recommended for cellar areas with uneven flooring. The tasting includes alcohol; plan accordingly if driving after.
