About this tour
An eight-hour private drive through Chianti's rolling hills and stone villages, departing Florence. Your driver navigates the quiet roads between vineyards while you stop at hamlets that feel frozen in time. The landscape shifts constantly—cypress-lined valleys, oak forests, terracotta rooftops—and wine estates dot the terrain. Lunch and tastings are on you, giving you freedom to choose where and what to drink.

What to expect
Your driver collects you from your Florence hotel and heads south into the Chianti region. The first hour winds through vineyards and past isolated farmhouses. You'll visit two or three small villages—think stone arches, quiet piazzas, a handful of locals—where you can wander on foot for 30–45 minutes each. The landscape is the real draw: no motorways, no crowds, just the Tuscan hills rolling out before you. Bring cash for lunch and wine tastings at family-run estates or village trattorie. The air-conditioned van is your base between stops.
Good to know
Book tastings ahead if you have specific estates in mind—walk-ins may have limited availability. Lunch isn't included, so plan stops that suit you. Roads are narrow and winding; don't expect speed. Comfortable shoes essential for village exploration.
